baked-on blade coating?

[DK]

Has anyone ever used Brownells aerosal baking lacquer or anything expoxy-based before? Can this applied with a small toaster type oven?

I use baking laquer often on presentation pieces. It is easy to apply, and stands up to pretty heavy use. About a year ago I thought I would try it. Put a coat on the damascus belt knife I carry, through a great deal of hard use, it is just now starting to wear away. A modified toaster over works great. As is the temp fluctuates far too much in a toaster oven. If you place some insulation (ceramic fiber type) on bottom, top and sides, they will hold a surprisingly even temp. I also us mine as a tempering oven. You can view some of the laquered blades on my site.
