Thank you for your answer Achim  :ThumbsUp:

I haven't used a thermometer in the oven for powder coating ... and it is probably stupid of me to trust the oven as the one in the kitchen is 25C below what you think you set it for ..... so I will try to remember next time I plan on doing "some painting".

Hi Achim,

 :facepalm2: When I saw the thumbnail view I thought your Ultrasonic cleaner it looked like something from the bathroom in your workshop. I am pleased was wrong  ::)

Hi Jo, you are right, this thumbnail has the potential to create some irritation.

I assume that the oven job is powder coating.


Hi Kirk, yes the parts are powder coated.

Hi everybody,
some more coating was done.
One door does not have the best surface, there is a faultiy aluminium soldering, a JB weld layer, some thing I do not know  but under temperature it is coming out of the surface.....
But I will keep it as it is.
The real engine is also not perfect at every surface.

Hi George, thank you very much.
I am back in work life nearly full time, so not so much shop time at the moment.
Like to say I will need some more time for the first pops.
Currently doing the coating of the cylinders and some CAD work for further cooling and general lay out.



Kind Regards
Achim

That sure is looking nice Achim! you seem to have the powder coating process pretty well hammered out. :ThumbsUp:
Didn't you mention a while back that you pretty close to retirement?

Dave Thank you very much.
Retirement is scheduled for end of November now.
This powder coating gives in my eyes a very nice surface for this model engines.
But if you have to take care about special places and lets say functionality contacts, it is time consuming to do make a proper covering.
i.e. the fly wheel.
