One thing the potential home powder coater needs to know: You can't use your
kitchen oven. According to the description I read, the fumes are toxic. So,
you rip apart your kithcen and drag the stove outside with a long 220V
extension cord. The wife comes home from shopping and has a heart attack.
The zoning officer stops by and cites you for relocating your kitchen
without a permit. The EPA locks you out of your house and declares it a
Superfund site. And the six lugnuts (why six? I don't know) you thought
you'd try this stuff out on are still in your oven, so you can't even drive
your car away.
Hey, it could happen. Really.

Doug, what com. are you the V.P.? I may be incorrect but like most
hobbiest when very good products come along with a way of saving a lot of
money I'm all for it. On small auto related items this home kit is very
usefull, and the larger industrial shops don't want this business anyway.
My local shop that I did business with a few years ago charges 100.00 to
do any amount of nuts and bolts, their reasoning, they are to much
trouble and if I charge enough people will not bring them to me, I don't
want that business anyway. So where do I take my nuts & bolts as I do not
have 100.00 for a 5.00 job. Yes there is a need for these kits as well as
a place for attitudes like my ex-local shop. Where is your shop located
??
