Hi TikTok,I first started using PBC when Terry Primo posted how well it had worked for him. Here is a tutorial that Terry did http://www.primosknives.com/articles/scale_prevention/no-scale1.htm psriley , check that site out a little after reading the PBC tutorial there is some good reading for a guy just starting out. Look under his site menu and go to "articles" TikTok , Terry finishes his Blades completely before HT , like so many have said before me " it is so much easier to bring a Blade to finish before it gets in the 56-60 HRC range. That is pretty much how I do mine now too. psriley , I have to always apply PBC twice to get full coverage.When I put it in my kiln for the second time when it comes back out it sometimes has a bubble or two , I just break them (I say break cause they're kind of crispy) and apply my second coat.I catch mine too , but on a large piece of cardboard that I keep around for just that purpose. Very rarely do I have a pit after Heat Treat since having gone to this method.
