Powder Types

[steve187]

Ok guys, I'm still discovering new things every day. I looked at Columbia Coatings website and I realized that the powder available came in urethane, epoxy, and polyester. What is the difference? Is one more suitable than the other for painting bass jigs ? What does the designation TGIC mean ?

Thanks

Steve,

I'v posted this info awhile ago. It will give you all the info on what you are asking. Definitely read post #8 and the PDF file below it. It will clear up all of the questions you have. Just to make a long story short, I have over 150 colors of powder paint and about 1000 plus lbs of different colors and different manufacturers. I stay with the reputable manufacturers and have never had any problem. Whether it is epoxy, TGIC or polyester powder paint. They are all excellent for our use. The break down is done for companies that need a particlur powder paint spec'd for a job. One in particular is the military. You can not paint anything you want for the military. If they want TGIC then you have to supply them TGIC. However for our use as jigs all of the chemical make ups would be great....................If you need more help PM me.

Thank you cadman. My primary concerns in this are now answered. I appreciate it.

Looks like mixing should go well for the most part.

Steve,

I have mixed all kind of powders together with no ill results. Since these are jigs all the quality powder paints are good to use.
