Dixie normus Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Just FYI almost guaranteed those parts were blasted before powder so its not likely that your gonna simply strip and polish. THIS^^^^^. Any half ass decent coated will sandblast everything before coating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
springer Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 So. Baking it off. What degree roughly ? Will that damage the billet where they wont polish up good ? i burned powder coat off with a propane torch. took an hour or so to do a whole frame, but worked good. i bead blasted it afterwards to get a good, even finish on everything. i bought one of the cheapo ones from HF: http://www.harborfreight.com/propane-torch-91033.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 if you torch off powder off alluminum its very easy to get it to hot and melt the alluminum. torch works great on steel parts like a-arms, frames swingarms etc.. at paint stores you can get gallon sizes or more of paint thinner or paint stripper. drop them in the bucket and let them sit it will take it all off.. OR if you have a powedercoated local you can ask them if they have a strip tank and see if they will strip it for you. or you can bead blast it all back off might take a long time.

Mootsman Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Most powerful product sold for stripping powder is called B17. The shipping might kill you though. It's very nasty stuff and not to be handled carelessly unless you like skin grafts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bebetekbanshee358 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Aluminum has a coating that withstands more heat then the aluminum itself.. Takes more heat to break down the coating then melting it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Wut He's right.. Over time, aluminum forms a thin coat of aluminum oxide on its exterior, which melts at a much higher temperature than aluminum. So, before welding any piece of aluminum (even a brand new piece), you have to clean away the aluminum oxide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was saying a different powder was used on aluminum than on other metals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
