Information About DIY Kits Of Duracoat Aerosol

By Kathrine Franks


Gun owners rely on quality products for cleaning their firearms and expect the best from anything sold for the enhancement of weapons. Those products must do no harm to any of the materials used in manufacturing that include stainless steel, synthetics, ferrous metals, wood, and alloys. DuraCoat Aerosol is the latest in technology and simple for novices and professionals. Here is some information to help when shopping a Lawrence, KS supplier.

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.

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.

For the fastest drying time, many gun owners use a heat setting of 110 degrees F for about 1 hour to speed up the process and reassemble their weapons. Once the surface is completely dry most cleaners, abrasive solvents and lubricants will not harm the new finish. For best results allow three to six weeks for full drying and curing.

For people who want to colorize their guns, DuraCoat comes in over 200 different colors, and you can mix those to get an exact match of shade you want. Just think of all the possibilities of identifying a weapon just by its color and texture. Not to mention being proud of the choices of hues and designs.

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.

Even the smallest speck of dust can render a firearm useless if lodged in an area of tight tolerances and precision accuracy. It is important to keep all firearms properly cleaned and maintained for maximum safety. Ask your local gun store owner about the benefits of protective coatings that help ensure enjoyable gun ownership.
