AO Spary Welding

Why mess up a good handle?

Why not simply use a good pump sprayer with a wide orifice?

Or are you planning to use the "flame applicator" for depositing powdered metal in an attempt to plastic/ceramic coat things?

FWIW, you may wish to look into a Powder Coating setup.

The problem with the Powder Coating is the oven that's needed to bake the final coat. I have been using powder metal as a coating but I wondered if there were other coating I could do with my handle. Spray Welding a large area is time comsuming. Have you done any Powder Coating?

Thanks

Powdercoating: If it fits, I put it in the oven. Larger stuff, I use heat lamps. They work pretty good for this novice powder coater. You can easily get parts up to 450F with lamps.

Eutectic Castolin sells them and supplies some plastics, ceramics and metal powders for "cold thermal spray". The torch is a gas hog and is expensive.

Colmonoy sells the torches but I don't know about cold spray powders from them. They are one of the largest suppliers of brazing powders and hard to beat on price.

Stoody used to have a division, check for it with the ThermalArc/Victor people.

The last one out there is Metco, a pretty big player.
