Gunsmithing Cerakote Oven Question
Just a quick update... I got some wheels on this beast and found out who the manufacturer is so I was able to get ahold of their tech support people to find out about how it was insulated. Fortunately, it’s 1” fiberglass batt insulation on all walls and doors, so I’m good to go!! Just need to...- B W E

Gunsmithing Pre-Cerakote Degreasing
I called around and Methanol is actually pretty expensive here and not many places to get it..$90 for 5 gallons, which is more than acetone at Home Depot. So, given the “safer” characteristics I guess acetone it is. Thanks for the input fellas.- B W E

Thans for the reply. I’m familiar with the process, just wanting to know specifically about what PPE (personal protective equipment) people are using when they use these chemicals.- B W E

Specifically, what type of PPE do you use / recommend when using it, and any tips or precautions you’d recommend? I haven’t decided yet, as I have a few “professionals” in...- B W E

Gunsmithing Cerakote Oven Question
I haven’t actually seen the thing yet (I work on the north slope in Alaska on 3/3 rotations...wife picked it up for me) but I would imagine the foam insulation inside the walls is there to stay. I’m sure the steel walls are welded together. I’ve seen dozens of builds where the insulation inside...- B W E

Gunsmithing Cerakote Oven Question
Thanks for the info guys. I’m gonna go with R-Tech foil-faced foam on the inside with a layer of double sided bubble heat barrier on top of that. A PID temp controller and a 240v oven element on the bottom, as well as fire-caulk along all seams and the rope style oven door gasket along the...- B W E

Gunsmithing Cerakote Oven Question
Hey guys, I picked up what was a “cold storage” box. All stainless, 4’ x 4’ x 2’ and plan to make it an oven. I believe it has foam inside the walls, and my initial plan was to install foil faced foam on the inside. However, now I’m starting to think that’s unnecessary. What do you guys...- B W E
