Gun enthusiasts want the best when it comes to protecting their firearms and customized finishes. Especially when those finishes include ferrous metals, wood, stainless steel, synthetics, and alloys. There is no heating or baking required. Here are a few tips on using DuraCoat Aerosol, and be sure to ask your Lawrence, KS supplier about Peel 'N Spray templates.
Advancements in science offer new possibilities every day and now people have choices of textures for customizing their guns. From several selections of camo to attractive pearl finishes help protect the outside of all guns. All of these choices help personalize weapons for quick and easy identification.
One thing to remember is mixing this product with a hardener. It helps speed up drying time without reducing quality or appearance. Ratios of 12:1 is standard but for faster drying times slightly increase the amount of hardener. It also gives a higher gloss finish at about a 10:1 ratio. Read the directions on the product to make sure of the mixture.
When using templates that stick on the weapon, be sure to remove any residual adhesive materials before applying the product. A clean, dry rag and some mineral spirits will free up and remove the adhesive without damaging the project. Any residue left behind causes bubbles and other distortions that blemish the surface.
Typical drying time is overnight. Placing the weapon in an oven for just 1 hour and baking it for about an hour at 110 degrees F speeds up the drying process. At this point, it is possible to use abrasive solvents, lubricants, and cleaners without destroying the finish. For full curing time allow three to six weeks.
Keep in mind that DuraCoat is available in over 200 colors, including Clear and those 200 colors when mixed will match any color in the spectrum. The Aerosol Kit contains a spray can that easily allows mixing the dryer with the color mixture for perfect results and easy to access and clean up afterward.
The most important part of the whole process is to clean the weapon and all its parts. Dismantle it and place the parts in some order that help you remember how they go when putting the gun back together. DuraClean is excellent because it removes all grease, grime, dust, dirt and any other debris without even leaving a film.
Always dismantle a gun for safety reasons before attempting to clean it, repair it, or refinish it. Make sure all compartments have no ammunitions in them. Check the cylinder, the bullet clip and chamber to make sure the gun is unloaded. Then dismantle it and mask off any areas not intended for DuraCoat before spraying the product on the pieces.
There is no such thing as too much safety when dealing with firearms that use explosives. When cleaning and oiling guns use the proper tools to dislodge any debris especially inside where dirt often collects. Then use the very best grade products to clean, maintain and customize your entire collection.
