Q. Has anyone figured out away to powder coat PVC? It is being done on wood now, with a lower melting temp than PVC?? Thanks for any info. D. G.
A. First of all, wood does not melt—it burns. Second, the melt point of PVC is much lower than the cure or melt temperature of PVC. So the answer to your question is simple—NO!!!
