More durable and less sticky is enough to interest… still difficult for the average married still living at home or with roommates Joe who can’t use his oven for coating… legally! :roflol:

I have the eastwood dual voltage gun, old free oven I have in goat shed and use eastwood and prismatic powders.
Got it for metal art and works great for small stuff.
I need to make a bigger oven
@BaconBitRacing this part got left out of my response last night

So here we sit after piddling here and there this weekend and of course hurting back..ugh..20230530_160622.jpg

Need fuel line and a small filter. And tie up throttle cable.

The gas tank...what to do?

Stock we might feed carb with pressure from a full tank....because it's close to level with inlet.

May make 2in riser mounts? I don't want a pulse pump or whatever they are called.

And don't want to lose capacity.

I have alum sheet and wire with a brand new tig machine, even have bottle of argon...but after 3years it's still 99.9% new.
Back then too many controls and no manuals...might need see what is online now.

I can alum if machine is setup like at work...just didn't have a start point. Then I could just make a tank

Had to go this route due to not feeling like finding where in the heck taps and tap handle are at :unsure:
As much new knurling there was it won't come out before I replumb it.
In a month or so....

So stopped at autopart store at lunch for non reinforced fuel line, filters and clips.


:mad: no 5mm or 3/16 line etc..several days wait or Friday 3hr trip to bike shop...

You know why Amazon gets orders? Because I sat in parking lot and ordered everything and it'll be here tomorrow after work, fuel shutoff is Friday

Hopefully fire it up Thursday night...
