The benefit of the Europa forum is the wealth of expertise to be tapped
- thanks for an authoritative statement Rob!

The only thing now to ask maybe is will your chosen powder coater
control the process to 400deg C or below for 20 mins or less?

Hi! Jeff.
I'm no metallurgist but 400 degrees may or may not be a problem for
steel but it could possibly en-brittle aluminium. Bob Harrison  G-PTAG

Roger.
    The heat is only 400 degrees for only about 20 minutes.
