Ok so I am making a knife for my brother that is graduating basic. It is 1/4 5160. I have hted it and tempered it and cleaned it up ready for cerakote. Well now is my dilemma. The process to Cerakote the knife calls for a time in the oven of 250 for 1 hr to get out oils and then a time in the oven of 250 for 2 hrs to dry it. is this going to completely screw up my ht? Is this going to temper it even further to the point it is no longer usable? Has anyone used this stuff before? should I have skipped the temper process and used these times as the temper? Any Advice is welcome.
