[TheForge] epoxy coatings

[Bob Ehrenberger]

Kevin,

Brownell sells a spray on coating that works really well. You spray it on,
let dry, and then bake in the oven.  Kind of like parkerising.  They offer
both flat and glossy, I know they have black and I think that they have OD
green.

My son has used it on some survival knives and on some gun parts instead of
blueing.  It's an almost indistructible finish.

Subject: [TheForge] epoxy coatings

Has anyone had any experience with powder epoxy coatings on knives or
other tools?  I've been looking for a method to coat small knives using
either powder epoxy or a Teflon based coating medium.  Most of the
information I have found on the matter has been rather vague, so I'd
welcome any suggestions or opinions.

Thanks - Kevin
