An oven is also essential in the degreasing process. It cooks any oil out of the metal.
You can air dry cerakote but it takes a week. Scopes obviously will need to be air dried.
Anyone who wants a scope done, I will do it for free and see how it handles a 250 degrees for a few hrs. Gimp what about your alcan?
Depending on how far a jar of Cerakote goes I will get an idea on whether is is cost effective.
I will be doing some of my blaser barrels and saddle mounts and will I post the results. Cerakote has plenty of uses, not just firearms. It could be handy to be set up.
Watch this space.

Find a motor re-winder. We have had to bake some epoxy stuff and for a couple of cans we get to use the local motor re-winders oven.
