Knife coating showdown! 6 different blade coatings tested.

[@maxtredo5192]

Watching this 3 years later, and it’s still the best vid comparing different blade coatings. Great video. Well done 🤙🏻

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks Max! Glad to hear!

[@harrisonmillardiii5465]

Never have seen a better video on this subject as of April , 2022 Jake the Jackalope

[@customcutter100]

8 years later and still a great video. I was looking for some example of coatings for a gun project. As a former knifemaker I can say that I am truly impressed by your work. Great job and video, thanks for sharing your knowledge, Ken

[@williamporter6185]

I thought your knives were astounding from a design standpoint alone. But the amount of time, effort and research that you put into perfecting everything about your blades is what is truly amazing. Good work!

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks dude! I love having such thorough knowledge of how my knives perform, that's what lets me sleep at night :)

[@MercenaryBlackWaterz]

It's awesome that you keep improving your product and trying new things.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much mate!

[@bigpete4227]

Your testing is what sets you apart.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks Pete!

[@bigpete4227]

Gough Custom no worries.

[@pjhalchemy]

Terrific methodology (real world) testing and relatively subjective, results oriented approach to choosing the best one to put Your name on! Also loved that your original held up maybe second or third best overall! It's amazing how what is now called PVD (sputtering from my era in cryogenics) has grown almost as much as material/metal sciences. What I appreciate most about you is your continual improvement mindset and striving to bring the best you can to your work and customers. Honored to have watched your arc through these short years now and that you have shared it with so many! Thanks Always, Aaron! ~PJ

[@GoughCustom]

Hey PJ! I love that when I post a new video I can always expect a thoughtful comment from you, I feel very lucky to have people like yourself that have followed along with my development! The new generation of PVD coatings are really amazing. I am looking forward to developing my specific coatings more as well... One thing I'd really like to try is doing an electroless nickel coating under my DLC coating, that would hugely enhance the corrosion resistance! I am starting to talk to suppliers about that now. As always, thanks for watching PJ! -Aaron

[@lordshin73]

+Gough Custom Aaron your development idea for the electroless nickel coating under the dlc coating sounds supreme. You said you are starting a dialogue with your suppliers about this so I will assume this is still in its inception phase, but do you have any estimation of when a prototype with this type of "supercoating" would be released for testing?

[@GoughCustom]

+Lord Shin no real idea on timelines yet... I will have to get prototypes coated and then test them, probably a few months at the very earliest.

[@mrmuttley]

Awesome to see you stand by your product enough to subject them to that sort of testing/abuse

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much mate!

[@CamRStanford]

Watching this 7 years late, this is still the best video I've found comparing different blade coatings.

[@GoughCustom]

Glad it was helpful!

[@GregAllen2]

Excellent video and info! Not only does this demonstrate your high level of concern for the product you provide but that you value your customers enough to provide them with this information. I just wish more companies did what you are doing! Keep up the great work... Cheers, Greg

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much for the kind words Greg!

[@gusbisbal9803]

This is why your channel is better than John Grimsmo. You actually talk about the quality and craftsmanship a lot more. This establishes value in a much better way.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks mate! I love John's channel as well, I'm not really trying to compete with him, we're just doing our own things in our own way!

[@TMthumper]

Good work. DLC is awesome. My first knife with DLC was the Spyderco Manix 2 XL & my latest is the Kizer Militaw. So far, the Militaw has my favorite finish.

[@MohdNazarJamaludin]

one fine day when you have become very very success with your work. I'll be proud telling my grandchildren that I watched you grow your product up and down. Kudos bro!

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks mate! I hope that day comes too!

[@trod9524]

You are a MONSTER when it comes to testing. I truly appreciate the measures you take to create a tool of such QUALITY. A TRUE CRAFTSMAN!!!

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much man!

[@bertraminc9412]

DLC/IonBond is a wonderful coating as you've shown. I have my barrels done in it and get my internal parts done in it as well for the blacked out guns in my arsenal. It's not a spray on baked coating which some of them are. It's very thin and the properties make the metal look great, picking up fingerprints but then wiping clean time after time again. I love it an will use nothing else.

[@GoughCustom]

I agree, I really like DLC and have been very impressed with how it performs!

[@bloodtrocuted6]

You're a Metalhead! Excellent! Keep up the good work, the knives are looking great!

[@GoughCustom]

Yeah mate, for sure! Thanks, I'll do my best!

[@ieatcaribou7852]

Wow, we’ve all seen different tests or knives but this was one of the most thorough and even scientific tight tests I’ve ever seen fantastic job, this must’ve taken you a really long time. That’s the kind of craftsmanship and love of your product that is just amazing.

[@GoughCustom]

Thank you very much! Yes it took ages, but it was totally worth it!

[@bryanstone7237]

I was looking for some testing of blade coatings and breakdown of how each faired. This video couldn't have answered that better. Thanks so much for all the work that went into this video. My next knife will be DLC coated.

[@GoughCustom]

No worries at all Bryan!

[@succman8398]

Love the dedication to testing out the different aspects of coating benefits against one another. Awesome stuff man 👍

[@tristanberke8759]

great to see a new video from you, man. I've gotten into knife making myself and your early videos really inspired me. (I'm still working with files and angle grinders. can't afford a $2000 2x72 belt grinder yet) but I am currently saving up for one of your knives.

[@GoughCustom]

Nice work man, pleased to hear you're exploring making knives! I'll look forward to making a knife for you!

[@samuelscott7646]

may I suggest getting a 1x30 belt sander from the horrible freight (harbour freight) just to start out with. it is not great but better than a file.

[@tristanberke8759]

+Samuel Scott I've got a grizzly 1x30 which is barely better than the harbor freight one. but it comes with a disk sander too. but I finish everything with files because the 1x30 isn't accurate enough for plunge lines and stuff. it's just for stock removal. (at least for me)

[@samuelscott7646]

Okay cool

[@Smashpatate]

when you become a knife yourself!!! your understanding and thoroughness is outstanding!!!

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much mate!

[@carloskl78]

Finally some good consistent and systematic testing!!! I was wondering which coating to us on one of my knife models thank to you just got my solution handed on a silver platter, you just made my day, thanks a million!!!

[@GoughCustom]

+Mirko Radakovic no worries mate, glad the video was helpful!

[@GeofDumas]

I left my DLC 0200 in a backpack that I took hiking. It rained so hard my backpack needed to be emptied when we got back to the car. I forgot that my knife was in the pack, so when I finally found it in there a week later, it was covered in orange. A quick cleaning showed that zero DLC had rusted. It was just a part of the exposed metal on the edge that had gone. Looks brand new after the cleaning. I love DLC

[@GoughCustom]

Glad to hear you like DLC as well mate!

[@xkukubax]

I love your tests. Nothing but respect for investing your time and money into research and knowing your craft. Thank you for sharing.

[@GoughCustom]

No worries at all mate! Glad you liked the test!

[@profglac]

I appreciate your effort in doing tests to offer the best products to KZbin viewers and customers. Congratulations and lots of success!

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much Gustavo!

[@Ddabig40mac]

you have a very intentional and thorough product development going on! I really enjoy the process updates, too.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much Darryl! I appreciate you following along!

[@prongATO]

Fantastic testing of coatings/treatments!! The detail, documentation and explanation is spot on. This is, by far the best video test I've seen of some of the modern choices of coatings, thank you.

[@GoughCustom]

+prongATO cheers mate, no worries at all!

[@strangebirdsir]

I had fears of getting a DLC coated blade. I’m not sure why, it’s not like I’m out here hard using my knives. But after watching this, I’m confident that I would have no issues with wear. Thanks! Great video.

[@GoughCustom]

Glad it was helpful!!

[@harrisonking8156]

Now this is true dedication. Absolutely amazing job, there aren't enough people like you who strive to improve their product for the customer and performance of the product instead of just claiming it is better and charging more. Once I get some funds and am legally able to I will definitely be looking to purchase one of your awesome blades!

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much mate!

[@mathewdoyle3088]

What a way to spend your Christmas! Truely committed!!

[@ladams19]

I wish you the very best with your business. With the effort you put forth on your knives, they honestly have to be the best.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much mate!

[@roderickarnold1412]

Thank you for this. I was considering Cerakoting my knife because I like the look and feel of it on firearms, and this validated my choice.

[@GoughCustom]

No worries mate!

[@symons666]

Just to see how well your knife edges stood up after cutting all that cardboard was really impressive, never mind splitting the wood too ! Greatest respect to your workmanship ! 👍

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much mate! I want to do a similar demo video with the next version of my knives specifically to show off the performance, something I keep meaning to do but have never gotten around to with this version.

[@marcoh.3467]

I got two DLC coated knives, the zero tolerance zt 0350 and the zt 0301 tigerstripe. The black zt 0350's DLC coating is very sticky and you can feel a bit of resistance while cuting through several materials ( food, cardboard, wood etc). The coating has a very rough surface that makes this "bad" cuting performance and makes the coating prone to scratches and abrasion. The DLC tigerstripe coating on the zt 0301 is completely different to the 0350. The surface is very smooth and slicky and in many weeks of daily use this kind of DLC shows no signs of abrasion or scratches and the cutting performance is way better than from the zt 0350 although the blades are very similar in geometry (zt 0350 is 10% smaller than the big boy zt 0301). Sorry for the long text.

[@GoughCustom]

Hey Marco! Yes I know what you mean! I wanted my knives to be matte finished, but I didn't want them to be too grabby... To achieve this I blast them with a mix of aluminum oxide and glass beads before they're DLC coated. This leaves a finish that feels similar to the trackpad on a MacBook, matte but slippery. It seems to work well and is not at all prone to scratching!

[@victheoutdoor6221]

i have just started doing my own knifes and I have to say that your clips are like a encyclopedia for me. watched I think all of them. thanks for your hard work mate!

[@GoughCustom]

Very glad to hear they're helpful Victor!

[@gabeballinger375]

LOVE THIS TESTING!!! I am looking at ordering one of your knives soon!

[@thedudeofoud2282]

Very cool, thanks for taking the time to do this. I am talking with a company about getting my knives DLC'd so this helped to make my decision more concrete. Great work and Great Knives man!

[@GoughCustom]

Awesome mate! I hope you get that sorted!

[@austinfox4130]

Walter Sorells has an interesting video on various knife coatings that compliments this one well. he covers more paint-like coatings instead of the ceramics and cermet matricies in this one.

[@GoughCustom]

+Austin Fox cool, I'll have to check it out!

[@saigudbai]

DLC is good stuff. I have a DLC coated Para 2 that's 9 years old and the blade still looks perfect.

[@GoughCustom]

Yeah I've been very happy with DLC on my knives so far!

[@cwh244]

I appreciate your comprehensive testing. You answered all the questions I had about DLC.

[@GoughCustom]

Glad to hear mate!

[@russtuff]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@GoughCustom]

No worries Russ, thanks for watching mate!

[@TylerRogersUSA]

Will you be selling any of the test knives?

[@GoughCustom]

Hey Tyler! I haven't decided yet... I may give a few away but I'll likely keep most of them for future testing.

[@TylerRogersUSA]

Let me know if you want to find a home for one :) Your knives are what got me into forging!

[@JoeC92]

+Gough Custom if you give any away and need a home I'll take one haha

[@thomascandlish9627]

Hey fantastic testing. good to see you really trying to maximise the product that you're putting out.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks Thomas!

[@arandomperson2345]

Wow, really impressive and thorough testing regiment! Would love to see you do some testing of the friction coefficient as well as test ease of cleaning after exposure to heavy pine sap/etc

[@Shiddyvet]

Dude I just watched the video then visited your website and I have to say dang!! You’re awesome

[@iena71]

Really good video! I have a DLC coated Wilson Combat Folder, and it's really like your results! I have some cerakote blades, but the same thing you had the proof happened to me: the coating comes off really fast and even with chips. Thanks for the hard work!

[@GoughCustom]

No worries mate, glad you liked the video!

[@JuanEnriqueSerra]

In KZbin, no one is better than Gough. Awesome videos..

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks Juan!

[@DrDankoff]

This is the level of insanity that I absolutely love and gravitate to.

[@GoughCustom]

Haha, I love this comment :) Thanks mate!

[@thezenprepper]

Thanks for the RD on coatings and sharing the info.

[@GoughCustom]

No worries mate!

[@paralogia]

Nice job. Your patience knows no bounds.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much mate!

[@andrelarocque5967]

Wow, this is a rock solid test. I appreciate your approach here. This is very telling.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks Andre! Glad you liked the tests!

[@bobb.9917]

Aaron...this was so entertaining...I am into knives and was looking at one online with DLC coating (from Italy)...so.. I decided to do a search to find out what exactly DLC coating is, hence I found YOU! You are totally out of your mind...I laughed like hell (with you not at you, I hope)...the piles of cardboard had me falling off the edge of my chair...YOU MANIAC. Keep being who you are ...you are amazing!!!!!!! I REALLY learned a lot! :-)

[@GoughCustom]

+Bob B. Haha thanks mate! Glad you like my type of lunacy :)

[@bower230]

Thanks for the testing. I’ll have to look into DLC for sure.

[@GoughCustom]

+Smock Knives it's good stuff once you get it all worked out!

[@IISocratesII]

Solid methodical testing, good to see the continuous improvements.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much mate!

[@THEDRAGONBOOSTER8]

These tests were very important.People who buy will be confidante that they have made the right choice. You as a maker will know that you have used the best components that were available to you ,therefore feeling no guilt that you have cut corners,as you know this is no way to run a business..Cheers..

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks mate! Yes I very much agree, I like knowing that I'm sending out the best knives I possibly can!

[@mja12685]

Cutting through that phone book paper after all that cardboard. Very impressive.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much mate! I think a lot of people miss that part of the video! I need to do a proper edge retention demo video in the future!

[@matokt]

You inspire me to try make a knif by myself! If only I had the needed tools. Much appreciates videos, keep em coming :)

[@GoughCustom]

You can get started with fairly simple tools, check out my other videos, I have a lot of tutorials!

[@Basman59]

That was highly informative as I am considering gettinga watch cerakoted the problem with the testing is it does not measure abrasive resistance, cardboard and wood offer no abrasive response, like one might get from brushing against a wall, door handle branches, etc hope you get my point. That having been said since I am essentially customising a watch for durability ceraokte is probably better than PVD and DLC is an obvious choice but fiscally an expensive option. So i think cost comparisons must be considered when viewing this in context. Great work learnt loads!

[@GoughCustom]

+Basa 1959 actually cardboard is really quite abrasive you can see this in how the cerakote blades look after the cardboard test. My test didn't cover impact with other metal objects like for handled and such though for sure

[@Basman59]

Cardboard abrasive do me a favour...best laugh I have had in ages. If its cut adn the it is sliced against ytour skin perhaps, but as I was suggesting so you clearly missed the point. It does not scratch itens like branches do or metal objects like door handles hinges etc...So thanks for trying but that reply is fallacious.

[@prongATO]

You're obviously not able to understand the concept so let's try this; Some sandpaper is 200 grit, thus very abrasive. Other sandpaper is 800 grit, less abrasive but still abrasive. Can you grasp that concept? So cutting and batoning hardwood isn't abrasive but a branch is? You're also trying to compare coating impact resistance to wear resistance. The substrate will ultimately define how strong the coating will be with regards to impact resistance.

[@adamdiaz5560]

This is how to test knives, very thurough. Several thumbs up; thanks for sharing.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much Adam, glad you liked the video!

[@123bhays]

Awesome knives, pretty cool test! Thanks for taking the time to film and present your findings.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks Ben! Glad you liked it mate!

[@throwawayaccount9442]

thanks for this man i have been looking for a video like this for a long time now to see how to coat my knifes this was rely helpful.

[@GoughCustom]

+TheIRONDragon no worries mate!

[@lsubslimed]

Man Aaron, I just absolutely love how thorough and organized all your testing always is. You make it so satisfying to watch! Glad to see you back making vids again. I was wondering what happened to you for quite a while, but now I know that you've spent quite a while working on upping your CNC machining time and process as you shared on BF (coldsteelburns here). Anyway, thanks for sharing all of your hard work with us, it's an awful lot of time and money spent developing an awesome performing and looking survival type knife and here you are spending even more time sharing everything you learn with the world, for free! The Knifemaking community is blessed to have ya brother 👍 😉. I'll be waiting in suspense for you're next uploads! Take care 🙂

[@GoughCustom]

Hey bud! Thanks very much for the kind words mate, I feel lucky yo be able to share what I love doing with people like yourself!

[@brandon152lee]

Looks like you make one hell of a product. I am looking forward to owning one of these masterpieces when you make some more! I am a petroleum engineer by the way and I love watching your videos. Hope to make my own knife by hand someday.

[@GoughCustom]

+Brandon Lee thanks very much mate! You should definitely try making one, it's really good fun!

[@mikeelek9713]

That was an impressive, exhaustive test. Well done!

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks Mike, glad you liked it mate!

[@matthewharper170]

yay! go DLC, definitely my favorite knife coating, I love the look and the feel of it.

[@GoughCustom]

Yeah me too! I was very glad it won as I also love the look and feel of it!

[@edw315]

omg the sweat and time that goes into these videos!! thumbs up!

[@GoughCustom]

Haha thanks Ed! Surprisingly most people don't realize just how much time it takes! My record so far is 14 months working on a single video...

[@jerseythedog]

I need a Gough custom now. I wish I never saw this video. Dangit!

[@GoughCustom]

Sorry, not sorry mate! :)

[@saltysteel3996]

Lamb of God! Hell yeah dude! I'm a fan of yours now! \m/, That's my kind of metal.

[@GoughCustom]

Haha thanks bud! I play Lamb of God often, along with Metallica, Mastodon, and others!

[@N3m3cis]

Gough Custom you should try Gojira. Really good for working.

[@mattruth7109]

Salty Steel I love hourglass and resolution by Lamb of God!

hey man thanks for this, now im leaning over getting the kimber K6s with DLC coating

[@GoughCustom]

No worries at all mate!

[@GoofysBandit]

Very good work, my friend. Excellent editing.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks Austin!

[@Arek_R.]

First people on mars will use your knives xD

[@GoughCustom]

That would be sweet!

[@sarahphillips8211]

Gough Custom what does DLC stand for?

[@GoughCustom]

Hey Sarah! It stands for Diamond-Like Carbon.

[@sarahphillips8211]

Gough Custom thank you!

[@armandotapia5355]

I loved this testing keep ot up

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks Armando! I hope to do some more testing like this in the near future!

[@joshuajacob6402]

I can't wait to buy one of your knives! Keep up the great work Aaron!

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much Joshua, will do my best!

[@Locrum]

Metal music makes everything better. Probably makes the knives sharper! Love the videos, wish I could afford a CNC, would love to make some knives. Looks relaxing.

[@GoughCustom]

I agree! It can be relaxing sometimes, though I often find it stressful as well unfortunately!

[@elnikoleto]

i like so much your testing videos plus you make so good job with them its great that you are a person wich always looking for the best for your customers .

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks mate! I definitely want to make the best knives I possibly can!

[@AdventureSworn]

Very thorough, nice job Aaron

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks mate!

[@arnljotseem8794]

Cool test. You obviously thake the quality of your knives very seriously. DLC is the way to go!

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks mate! Yes I definitely take quality very seriously! DLC has been working great so far!

[@katana24]

What and interesting video, it's amazing how you have improved with your techniques and with your performance as well. It makes me sad to live in the other side of the world and not being able of having one of your pieces and become a part of my personal collection, but at least through your videos i enjoy your knives as much as i can. Sorry for my english and hope i made myself clear

[@GoughCustom]

I appreciate you following along on my journey mate! Many more cool videos to come!

[@claytonalexander9105]

Fantastic video and excellent info. Thank You!

[@suckers0]

Loved your cricket bat shaped mallet - should have used Willow perhaps :-)

[@GoughCustom]

Haha, willow definitely would have been better than Pine!

[@gambet0007]

Good informative videos, I would really love to also see Steel materials used for knives and what they can sustain, newer knife enthusiasts with no workshop knowledge struggle to find that info. From there we can probably move on to different heat treatments and their results. If you've already made such a videos, please share links brother, would love watching them.

[@GoughCustom]

Hey mate! If you check out my channel I have already done a steel testing video that involved different steels and multiple heat treatments for each

[@futuresonex]

Good test, and still the nicest shop I've ever seen!

[@GoughCustom]

Haha, thanks mate!

[@Manarinni]

Very accurate and methodic tests. Thank you!

[@GoughCustom]

Cheers mate! Thanks for watching!

[@SolyWar]

Hello Aaron, testing steel, kydex and now the coating, the evolution of your design, I am impressed. You keep improving your product, basicly constantly striving and that is real craftsmanship. I very much enjoy following your journey here on youtube and on instagram. Keep up the good work. Also I like your music taste! May I recommend "Any Given Day" and "Heaven Shall Burn" to you if you don't already know them. Two excellent metal bands from my home germany. Greetings from germany, Soly \m/

[@GoughCustom]

Hey Soly! Thanks mate, I appreciate you watching the video and I will have to check out those bands! -A

[@PrioritySurvival]

Great tests! All those blades!

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks mate! Yeah there was something like 25 blades coated for testing all up, I only ended up using ~10 of them for the tests.

[@akbuilder7626]

Nice test. Thanks for taking the time and expense to do this.

[@GoughCustom]

No worries at all mate! Thanks for watching!

[@SciTeF]

I can't imagine cleaning up after this testing! I am sold to dlc!

[@GoughCustom]

Haha it wasn't too bad! And yes DLC is great!

[@nikker1]

Great video as always! Looking forward to new videos!

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks mate!

[@WinStunSmith]

Holy crap! All that cardboard and it still glides right through thin paper?! Your blades are straight up gansta...lol Seriously impressive.

[@GoughCustom]

Haha thanks mate!!

[@taylorwilkinson9860]

Love your stuff. I'll be ordering one soon hopefully.

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks dude, I appreciate the support!

[@MogensBeltoft]

That was very interesting. Looking forward to next video! Maybe you could tell about the price for each coating?

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks! The coatings all work out to be approximately $20 each per blade, except for the WCC+CrN coating which was $40.

[@trussmonkey5910]

Good video, can you possibly do zirconium nitride coating VS DLC?

[@carnager9445]

*_wow! my man, this video is very good._* *_I can tell this video is underrated._* *_I wish you get to better places._* 👍😁

[@GoughCustom]

Thanks very much mate!

[@alienmoonstalker]

good stuff as usual. I was wondering about scratch resistance with these coatings. have you thought about maybe tumbling these with bolts or nails to see metal on metal wear? thanks.

[@GoughCustom]

Hey mate! Scratch resistance is actually very good... If you take a nail and drag the pointy end across the coating it will leave a silver mark, but that is actually the metal of the nail rubbing off onto the coating... A little bit of autosol will clean the mark right off and the coating will be pristine, I have done this multiple times!

[@alienmoonstalker]

+Gough Custom Ok, thanks for the info!

[@rohanpuri1989]

Great. Can you do a flame torch (red hot) test on the dlc? thermal shock i.e. dipping it into the water when its red hot

[@GoughCustom]

I doubt the coating will survive that. The red heat will likely cause the carbon to react with the oxygen in the air and turn to carbon dioxide. The thermal shock is not likely to be an issue though I dont think.

[@rohanpuri1989]

@@GoughCustom thanks but i believe it should not as some of these coatings are done on pistons and valves and there's literally fire inside the engine. I'd appreciate if you could do a test :)

[@GoughCustom]

@@rohanpuri1989 Being exposed to high temperatures is not the same as being heated to red hot... Pistons in an engine do not get anywhere close to red hot, because the incoming fuel and air cool them, as does the oil bath underneath the piston and the cooling channels inside the engine block that surround the cylinders... Heating a knife with the coating to red hot would not prove anything, and in fact might give you the idea that the coating is bad when it's not!

[@mi2092]

That’s some serious testing 👏 very informative.

[@GoughCustom]

Glad you liked it!
