Gunsmithing Cerakote H series camo

[eddief]

All H-series Cerakote for your viewing pleasure.

Kind of a mix ATACS/Digital. I've always personally preferred softer edges vs. sharp stencil edged camo

H-Series on stock also

I am just now working with Cerakote ~ can you tell what the basic procedure or steps are?
When and how to put on the successive coats?

Re: Cerakote H series camo

It's worth another mention ~ great looking job and I am dying to know the process if it is not a secret.
More on how to apply Cerakote camo than the pattern.

What NICs told me was that if you're applying layers, it's best to flash cure each coat for 15 min at 225 and then when you're all done...do the final curing process as normal.

I use a combination of HVLP guns and airbrushes. I generate my own stencils too, when needed.

bass 16 is correct if you are coating metal, but don't put a stock in at 225 degrees or you will regret it more than likely.

If you are baking stocks, contact the maker and ask them about temps, they will know best for their product. This will help you avoid popping mold lines.
