I haven't weighed the two stocks to see what the actual weight difference is. I've only been using the heat cure Cerakote but might try the air cure. How long do the say it takes the air cure to fully harden up? I just use my kitchen oven to bake the heat cure. No odor that I can detect.
well that's differrent! yeah, they're not actual 5.56 AR's =) those are long range AR builds. see, i use my lower for both my tactical AR at work (in law enforcement) and my grendel. cerakote says for the air cure that it takes 5 days... but from what i was reading on the net, they say if you can let it set for longer then it will be better (2-3 weeks) to fully cure. so do you have to hang your parts when you bake them? b/c when i was reading on it, it looked like the coating was still supposed to be wet when you put it in the oven, and if so and you lay it on something, don't you mess up your finish?
