Gloss Black

There are a couple of scenarios that may lead to a foggy or hazy finish when applying Gloss Black USS-2603 or any powder for that matter.

1) Burn-off gasses curing into the finish because of poor oven ventilation

2) Too thick of application: looking to apply 2-3 mil thickness (can check this at flow-out once cooled)

3) Slow Ramp-up of oven temperature: Place your coated piece into an oven that has been pre-heated to the curing temperature.

Thank you for your inquiry,

Gloss Black USS-2603 should be cured at 400 Degrees F. for 10 minutes. Remember that the 10 minute timer should NOT start until the thickest part of the substrate reaches cure temperature. You can use an infrared gun like the one available on our website https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-equipment/SE-422/prismatic-infrared-thermometer to check status of the substrate temperature. We never recommend applying our powders hot or Hot-Flocking.

All of our powder application guides are located on our website. For Gloss Black USS-2603 you begin by searching from our Shop tab for Gloss Black.
