I am just starting to get into cerakote so your videos are perfect keep up the great work. I am using the cerakote C air cure for now and so far so good.
Amazing Work, truly awesome. The 3d effect is very real. I just want to know why you decided to change the direction of the stripe stencils. On the upper and lower receivers it is going up and to the right, but on the hand guard you went up and to the left. Also, what did the rifle look like fully assembled? Did you do the barrel and buttstock too?
I took a used recovery strap, cut a piece off and duct taped it to the drum. Once you get a couple of wraps its tight enough to not slip. Works great and super simple.
What exactly do you use to degrease and how long does it have to sit there in the tub and then when it comes out of the oven don't wipe it with anything and wash it right Thank you
I use acetone in the tank. I let it sit for at least 1/2 hour. I usually soak them overnight if I can plan it out right. When I pull it out I let it evaporate off then sand blast. After blast I gas out in the oven for 1/2 hour usually at 180degrees.
I reuse it over and over then. I draw it off as needed to clean my paint guns and mixing containers. So it is always circulating through the process till its evaporated.
Nicely done! Closer to Anchorage or Fairbanks? And what are your thoughts on cerakoting a base color down like white, using Krylon over that and finishing w/ cerakote clear? And lastly, do you have an opinion on cerakote micro slic?
Krylon more than likely wont stick to fully cured cerakote. Sometimes even the air cure clear wont stick to cured H series. Cerakote has so many colors I would just stick to one type of paint that way you can avoid any potential compatibility issues
Aa long as you dont raise it up too high it will last. I used it for my driveway for 2 years. My kids would break it cause they would raise it up past the plow's stops. I would just tie it back on till I ran out of strap. I never broke it once myself. I would still recommend it several years later.
Not new but...A young man on RU-vid shows how to "divert light" via plastic and bending (cloaking him). Wait till Magpull really "see's" or doesn't. Magpull, send me a check :)
Looking for ghosting for your weap can be difficult. I saw this and added it for one reason. I wanted mine to look (regional) yet, look like a train wreck (don't know what your looking/seeing...at). Take James Deans car (after) then clobber more and rust it...Train wreck.
I just cut off the bad piece of winch rope and reconnected the tow hook to the remaining piece of original rope. Think... You got 50 feet of winch rope! Double knot the rope at the hook connection..
Nice work man! Im curious if youve ever had any issues with the glue residue from the vinyl after putting it in the oven? Also im assuming after peeling the stencils you put it back in for a full cure? 🤔
Sometimes I get small patches of residue from the stencils. Mineral spirits takes it off easily. Sometimes I leave stencils on for the full cure but most times I pull them after about 20-30 min.
