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.
Some people like a smooth finish and others like some other type of texture. Just about any surface is possible with these products ranging from camo to a pearl texture. It is even possible to create layers of texture and then finish them off with a protective coating of the clear product to reduce dings and scratches.
The help guide makes it possible to read and understand how to mix the ratio of DuraCoat and its company product the hardener so that the finished item looks professionally done. Just 1 part Hardener to 12 parts DuraCoat leaves the weapon with a smooth surface and nice shine. For more shine use ten parts to 1 part.
When using the stick on templates, they leave an adhesive residue that is easily removed using mineral spirits and a clean, dry cloth. Be sure to remove all of the adhesive before applying a coat of the DuraClear so that they do not leave bubbles on the finished project. Also use a good cleaner to remove oil, grease, and any other contaminants before applying new finishes.
Typical drying time is overnight, but the process is accelerated by baking the item for 1 hour at 110 degrees F. At this point, it is safe to reassemble the weapon and test fire it. Once the weapon is thoroughly dry, most cleaners, lubricants, and abrasive solvents will have no adverse effect on the finish.
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.
Remember that a clean surface is the best to ensure the desired results of any firearm customization. Once dismantled check all interior surfaces, and if necessary use a mirror to make sure all corners and crevices are clear of debris. DuraCoat Cleaner is excellent for this procedure because it leaves no film or residue.
As always, make sure the firearm is unloaded and completely dismantled for both safety and access to all areas of the surface, especially any tight corners or recessed areas where the human eye cannot see. Any coating product hardens after drying and presents a possible malfunction in discharging the weapon. Use a dental tool mirror if necessary to examine all internal areas.
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.
