Quick Start: Tools

Getting started with Powder Coating is easy with just a few simple tools. Here's a quick list to get you started:

• Toaster Oven
• Powder Coat
• Enamel Sifters

Our advice for the toaster oven is the inside height is important so spend a few extra dollars that we didn't and buy a tall oven (maybe even one with a light). The oven will no longer be food safe so keep that in mind when purchasing an toaster oven.

The powders are available online from many locations but we of course hope you'll buy from our shop where you can purchase smaller quantities. 

Sifters have a cup with a very fine screen and a handle allowing you to dust your piece with the powder. These are also available from our our shop or a quick search for enameling tools will turn up many sites.

So that is the basics, of course you'll need metal to coat, scouring pad and acetone to clean but more on that next time.
