You need enough heat to get those polymer chains to bond properly, but if you overdo it, you&rsquo;ll scorch the substrate before the coating even sets. It&rsquo;s a frustrating spot to be in. To fix this, we use a mix of custom-spectrum IR lamps and high-reflectivity aluminum plates. The goal is simple: push the heat deep into the coating, not just sizzle the top.</p>
