Copper Plating
unfy:
Oven / bbq paints seem to be up to 600F continuous... not quite good enoguh
The ceramic automotive stuff looks to be 1300-2000F.... but might need a primer, then color, then top coat. Dunno, will have to look into it a bit more for instructions. Seems like it's $9 a rattle can (for each layer).
If I had some spare molds I'd prolly jump on the chance later heh.
edit: there is a prior post i did just a moment ago on the tail end of the prev page... might explain a few things in this post heh
rudy:
Hmm, interesting. I've never used any of the ceramic paint stuff from automotive stores, just header wrap and then the silicone spray on top of it. I know there are more exotic solutions, like ceramic coating. I'm not sure how those processes work. I wonder if they're similar to cerakote? Spray it on, then bake it? But like you say, it'll be difficult to get a uniform thickness.
unfy:
When I get a bit of spare cash for a spare set of molds and the paints, I'd be willing to get it a shot. Will need a few cans of normal spray paint to practice on stuff with first for a while heh. Will also undoubtedly require masking off every part of the mold but the actual lead cavity ....
Anyhoo... fun fun.
Tonight I hope to chop up some wood and the sliding drawer brackets and HOPEFULLY get the clothespin rig built. We shall see :).
unfy:
Drawer slides cut.
Bunch of wood cut.
Slides attached to bits of wood.
Tomorrow:
Attaching all of this to the base (prolly via bolts rather than screws for easy-ish dis-assembly).
Measuring fun for building the actual clothespin rod rigging/frame etc will be after that... and constructing it. Will be a fair amount of measuring for all of that :/ ...
Then figuring out vertical travel with stops and all that and.... then.... yayayayaya time to get back to actually plating heh.
Jutty:
Unfy, if it would help, I have most of a can of http://www.vhtpaint.com/products/flameproof/ this stuff, you could have (flat black). I used it on my exhaust near the exit, no prep or primer, or clear, and it has held up immaculently, even with my tire spitting crap at it. And I didn't see if you tried one, but I could probably round up a train controller if you wanted to use one.
