NO, NO, NO. All bets are off if you try this at 400 Celsius. At 375 to 400
Fahrenheit, the normal temperature for powder coating, no harm is done.

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.
