<x-charset iso-8859-1>Has anyone ever tried epoxy paint? I use it around the house and that stuff is tuff! (pardon the rhyme).

Apparently you need a dedicated oven (wouldn't want to contaminate your food w/powdercoating toxins). I've been considering this option (& I have an unused large '50's oven in the basement near a gas line).
