What? you want me to do all the work? Don't you want to try something different and cool too?
I have an old MR vader hilt that I sanded the outside layer off, I'll try it on that... I'm pretty sure it's copper.
Well I dont have the extra scrap lying around to buy anything so unfortunatly I cant try it.

Just giving you heat no worries dude, I can do it.
This is a great idea Eastern... you should HELLA do a video tutorial on this the next time you build a saber that has some or lots of weathering to be done...
BTW all, if I haven't mentioned it, many of Eastern's sabers will show up as "cameos" in the upcoming new CF release vid... it's gonna be fun.

Hey Eastern,
Did you ever have any issues with fumes or contamination to your oven when baking the clear coat epoxy?
The kill switch seen here is a brass knob. I used regular olive oil and 3 "bakings" to get this finish. It's the one near the covertec knob

Yes, you mentioned it. And every time you do, my head gets a little bigger Did I send you a vid of that last saber - the one that just sold for $8-bajillion dollars? it had lots of lights. And I haven't done video editing to make a tutorial all that useful, I'll have to look into that and try to develop some vid-editing... uh, "fu".
Excellent question to bring up. No, not with epoxy, nor with enamel paint...
BUT, I DID get some funny smells with Rust-oleum Reflective Finish. You know when you're barbecuing and you have to light the coals and let them heat up? Think "pre-heating charcoal with too much lighter fluid"... that smell.
does this work on powder coated or anodized parts?
I tried this a few times, but the effect always looks drippy. I've tried applying thin coats, sanding, laying the piece in the oven at different angles. Always comes out looking drippy.
