I'm really really tired tonight, I have been training and working with the powder coat team at work the last three days to increase their efficiency and improve their quality...Getting excellent results but I worked very hard, a lot of lifting, walking, sanding, I am sore lol...One more day tomorrow then two days off...
I've also been sending samples of material through the powder coat process along with the production materials as tests...There is one product which right now needs 2 coats of powder to achieve the smoother finish the customer wants but the owner of the company i work for and the general manager both wants to reduce that down to a 1 coat process which I also think it can be done, so I'm running a predetermined series of tests to gather information needed for me to reach this goal...Today after 3 weeks of random testing I have narrowed down the parameters to a smaller window and have since achieved a 90 percent success...It's not quite the result desired but a lot closer now, I hope to have it within a week, a 1 coat process with reproducible results...
