Q. Is it possible to powder coat using metallic powders? If so, what powder particle size is required? Are there special set-ups for metallic powder? I want to apply nickel and cobalt-base powders that would subsequently be fused at around 2,200°F. J. Z.

Epilogue...
Just so that you don’t think I am a total jerk, I called the last questioner and gave him his answer on the telephone. It just does not make sense to print this answer in the magazine.
