Heres another weird request from me...

is there any type of coating that i can use a blow torch to cure a product on some pipe fittings? I know i can have them powder coated, but i would have to find a shop.. no where around here.

Is there any type of coating that i can apply to the fittings and use something like a blow torch to cure for a durable finish?

thanks

...are you stuck on the blow torch thing specifically...is is that just how you were imagining it might work?

'Cause if your not married to the blow torch thing, you might have more options

Yes it can be done with a torch but not just any torch, it uses propane and compressed air. thermal plastic powder fed through flame seconds later coating is dry and project/parts ready to go

.been talking with those guys for past couple years and think i will get one soon now that it's been upgraded.you can use it all most anywhere it's portable

I do not know how big the parts are but i have painted smaller parts and baked them in the oven and it locks the finish down nicely especially aluminum. works great as long as its an oil based paint
