I didn’t know a thing about powder coating when I started this video, but every question I had while watching was eventually answered by the end of it. Great video! Very informative and straight to the point.

Which kind of equipment / brand do you recommend for powder coating? Thanks for all the information.

[@ANILKUMARKAMMARA]

Super

[@coleenfussell9436]

I’m confused. If powder coating an existing bathtub, how could that be “cured,” since a curing oven is needed? I am researching bathtub refinishing, and powder coating was mentioned as an option. Will it be a good choice for the refinishing process? And how is a bathtub cured?

[@partheebannk7610]

Ok

How can I deep clean the powder coating oven?how often should I clean?Can I use water pressure wash?

[@steinarne79]

Very good, clean and objective presentation. I found a 2020 video of CNC machining. Very happy to see you guys still around! SUBSCRIBE!

[@melgross]

I don’t do it professionally, but I’ve been doing it for years in my shops. The only thing I regret is that I don’t have enough room for a big enough oven and paint booth to coat everything I build. But it’s a great way to protect parts and to enhance their beauty. As someone who can’t buy 50 pound containers of powder, I can’t try processes such as UV cures which I really wish I could do. I can coat glass very successfully though.

Informative; wish you would've used captions.

[@ProtolabsMFG]

Hi Nadia, thanks for the feedback. We will consider it for future videos. You can also turn on youtube generated captions. Hope that helps.

[@outplayed8068]

Well, First you drop your powder Then it melts till 200 degrees And finally it starts to turn into elastic and plastic coating So. What if i coated until 160 Some problem went wrongly with the oven and it turned off Now, after 3 days i want to repaint them again Should i scratch the paint and start again? What if i just turn on the oven again ? They wont melt? Will the paint just get more hard and more plastic?

[@a.rshopno3232]

I need data sheet, can u help me anyone?

[@ehsanbanat4896]

Can you please write the actual words about the Three Types of Powder Applications. In the translation, they wrote "Fluidized Bad Coating", "Electrostatic Fluidized Bad Coating" and "Electrostatic Spray Deposition". Are these correct glossary ? If not, please write back in your comments. Thanks 🙂

[@melgross]

It’s correct except that it’s “bed” not “bad”.

[@conner3542]

This video makes me question the abilities of my powder coating resource. It's time to go shopping.

Who in their right mind would powder coat without goggles and gloves on? That has to be an OSHA violation...

[@addie-yx2xv]

What is your experience with powder coating?

[@BanilyaGorilya]

I guarantee you if you wipe your ass and get fecal matter on the tip of your finger, you wash it off right? Your finger is now safe. If you get the powder on your finger, you wash it off with spray air gun or soap and water? Mask and goggles yes, gloves no.

[@rnovick]

I see a few comments suggesting that you use captions. I agree completely because your English pronunciation is extremely difficult to understand, and you speak too quickly. If you're not going to add captions to your videos, then you must slow down your speech by 50%. I will look elsewhere for an explanation of powder coating.
