hodge Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi guys If I have an item powdercoated which has chemical metal (filler) on it would there be an issue, or will it coat no problem. Minds on overdrive again lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Never tried coating over chemical metal as I always weld, however have been told JB Weld works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Should be fine so long as it's designed to withstand the oven temp used to cure the powder coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 What's JB weld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I looked into this recently. The standard JB Weld can be used up to 260°C so it would be okay for powder coating. (takes a long time to harden though) The JB Weld Kwik isn't as good at 150°C, might just be okay. JB Stik will fully cure in 20-30 minutes , okay upto 260°C I wish I could find a local supplier, I used to buy it at the local car accessory shop but when I wanted some a couple of years ago I couldn't find any locally anywhere, they all stopped selling it. You can get it on Ebay but that's not ideal if you're in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
