Driftwood Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I just placed my first order of tungsten weights My question is, can you heat and powder coat them like the lead weights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DiyEngineer Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 (edited) You can powder coat them, but it is slightly harder to coat than lead, also it takes slightly more time, since tungsten conducts heat slower than lead does.

Guest DiyEngineer Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Most suggest spray painting over powder coating so far that I have seen, also they say to be very care when powder coating as it could clog the hole accidentally.

Driftwood Posted April 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Thanks for the info. None of these have the plastic insert but painting will probably be a better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
