Compareing air dry & oven dry Cera-cote

[Larryh128]

Has anyone done both air dry & oven cure cera-cote & compared the two? Also any opinions on going over parkerizing with media blasting?

I have only done air dry cerakote and can tell you it is darned tough. I have also done duracoat and air-dry ceracoat beats it hands-down. Common sense will tell you the oven-dry cerakote will be tougher yet.

I have done oven dry cera-kote and the biggest problem I had was the fact that it is still wet when you put in in the oven. Any thing that touches it and you have a mark. Also its a lot more harder to get a good finish. Now all I use is the air dry. I use a cheap airbrush and my finishes all come out great.
