And that reminds me of the workshop Fred conducted in July of 2007 at TRF's Summer Party on - you guessed it - Powder Coating. Fred opened with "There are only three things that can go wrong with powder coating. They are ..." (answer below, to give you a chance to think about it.)

I wrote up my notes from that session and gave them to Fred, asking for feedback, to make sure I got it right. His response was first to indicate that I probably wrote it better than he said it. But he also sent me some pictures of his powder coating experience and so I was able to incorporate those photos into my notes. If anyone wants a five page article on powder coating with six photos, as told by Fred Thomas, send me a private email and I will send it along. And the answer to the three things; you, you and you; all three of which are explained in his workshop.
