So i stared refinishing/painting guns with Duracoat many moons ago, and did a lot of guns professionally. I stopped, due to a move a few year ago, and i started again, this time using Cerakote and Gunkote.
My question is specific to Gunkote baking min. baking temp and time, to get a fully cured finish? I was using their NanoSeries
The problem i had was with my personal Glock, i did a preheat @ 120° on both frame and slide. Completed all coats, setup at 285° for 2 hours. During reassembling, the front of the frame had minor warp/contour change that prevent the slide from going completely to the rear. I dremeled a small lip on the frame, and manipulated with light preasure via vise, and now its good to go.
Cerakote says to bake with their H and Elite Series at 185° on poly frames. My temp must be too high for the frame, anyone have more experience with KG Gunkote and poly frames? I read they were made with Nylon 6, and hand handle higher temps, like 340°+
Obliviously Duracoat never had this issue, i always "baked" @ 120° for a few hours, then let sit for a week before reassembling.
