I am a little short on oven space....

Can you shoot the Cerakote all at the same time and then let some of the parts sit uncooked while the first batch cooks, then cook the next batch later?

It would save a lot of work.

Thanks!
 
Re: Cerakote question....

Those that have been to NIC for the certification training will know for certain.
I have done that on several occasions and have never been able to ascertain any difference in the parts that sat at room temperature for a couple hours and those that went in right after spraying.
 
Re: Cerakote question....

Your main issue is going to be dust, lint, bugs, etc getting on the parts as they sit there waiting to go into the oven.

I would coat it all then run a 20 min cycle on one set of parts then pull those out and put the others in for the full cycle. When those come out put the ones you did the short cure on in for a full cycle.
