Powder Coating first time

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

Lovely knives Adam.
Stealing a knife from a field operative mercenary is not a wise idea. In the words of Sgt, B.A. Baracus, "I pity the fool who steals my knife!"

I use the Harbor Freight Powder Coat and it does not specify. I use 400f for 15-20 minutes

Thank you for your reply, sir!

Edited to add: I found what claims to be an MSDS for HF Matte Black 93306 and it said it is an epoxy system.
PPS: The other colors past and present (white, red, yellow) are hybrid epoxy/polyester resins.

Is the powder coat applied to knives a polyester, please? What is the cure temp? Thanks! (Just curious!)

As a general rule it seems all the powder coating I've used (not many different brands) all say 400°F for 20 minutes as the recommended cure.
