Powder coating powder?

[bloodhound]

Hello all. I'm sure there is a post here somewhere. But have spent the past few hour looking. Can someone point me in the direction of a link about how to use powder coating powder to color blanks with? I am a powder coater and am very interested here. Thanks in advance.

Just like any other powder when mixing. Just have to be careful not to use too much to make it too thick. Here are some threads.

Thank you very much. This is kind of exciting If I can use powder coat powder then the color options are to the moon.

My only suggestion is to mix, mix, and mix again. I fabricated a little beater out of a brass tube for my drill press and mix it In small cups. Black requires extra mixing. Hope this helps.

Ok. Thanks again for the info. The color options with powder is almost endless if it works.

Like others have said....mix the hell out of it. Let it settle....and mix it some more. Then add catalyst.

Can't really emphasize how much you have to mix. The powder will hang onto it self and try to form little dry centered lumps that will spring out at you later when you try to do anything with the finished blank, leaving a small funky crater.
