Tip for y'all. If you go to Harbor Freight you can find the white and black powder coat in 16oz plastic bottles for $7.99 each, they work great. I use the heat gun method.

[@edwardolivares5038]

What’s the name of the paint ? 🙏🙏

[@ExploringLifeWithChris]

I’ve done this on a prior laser project and the results were outstanding. Especially one designs that contain a lot of detail.

[@jamesshelton9126]

I did this on a white acrylic control panel made the engraved letters black, worked very well

[@kevinandpennylct2415]

Thanks again for your trials. Maybe someday!

[@shellyfinegan5362]

I saw my name I saw my name haha how fun that was!! happy to help support any way I can I've watched you guys for years!!!

[@DrgnSlyr]

The heat gun is the way to go.

[@Spirited282]

Great video and idea, it turned out great by the looks of it. I think i would prefer to try the heat gun method, lol

[@parabellum1130]

There are also heat lamps for powder coating parts that aren't able to fit in the typical oven ... I'm sure that might work better then the heat gun

[@scotthamel7928]

I do the heat gun method. Works great. Thank for the video on this

[@sgtserginsky]

The heat gun method looks less complicated. How much time does it take when applying heat?

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

It was just 5 minutes under the heat gun.

[@JimFerrell-rv6gc]

What’s the difference between Mica powder and powder coat paint

[@deniellemondesire7080]

Awesome video as usual thanks a lot, but I'm trying to figure out what masking tape was used via the heat gun process. Don't see the link for that item in your Amazon list.

[@luv2craft]

Great video. Can you link that powder coat please?

[@loiserwin5991]

The heat gun looks like it has a more finished/cleaner look👍

[@AndrewR74]

What is the make and model of the heat gun please? My shop heat gun died a while back and I’ve been looking at getting a new one.

[@darrelljetter9846]

Do you think you could do this on the F1?

[@mke614]

This looks very interesting as an option to offer people. Question…. Could you use a heat press instead of a heat gun?

[@denisekellerman4238]

What brand of heat gun is that? I don’t see it in your amazon store. Thanks!

[@tammympearce]

What mask do you use? I tried blue tape and that didn't work well

[@lorihall3615]

I did not see the heat gun or the powder coat in your Amazon link. Can you please post these so I can try this?

Who is this “Helen” that you speak of 🤔 these look like fun and I can see doing these with area codes

[@FredSchmitthammer]

Is the powder coat food safe for the cutting boards?

[@monicamoffett765]

I was wondering that too

[@RobertLugg]

What mask did you use?

[@pblais404]

You mentioned in your opening segment about doing powder coating on cutting boards. I am hoping not on the business side of the board.. I would think that putting that on the cutting side would cause it to chip off with use of knives and stuff and then going into food

[@GarlandFarms]

Instead of a heat gun, try a toaster oven.

[@1youHey]

Why not just mask the material, engrave and then paint it.

[@ExploringLifeWithChris]

Masking works great on designs that don’t contain a lot of detail. But if you engrave something with lots of detail, removing the mask can be time consuming. But I agree with you and typical just mask my projects. But this approach does work really well.

[@stacymcvey4229]

Way too time consuming...and messy...no thanks.
