I have investigated powder coatings for basic insulation in the past. And I had one primary concern that I was never able to fully resolve, and that has to do with the coating thinning out at corners and edges of metallic parts. Because of the surface tension of the coating as it is applied on

So, it's true! With most breakups, parties hire lawyers and split assets. Since I'm both an iNARTE Certified EMC Engineer and Member IEEE EMC Society, I wonder which party will claim me? ;-) On the serious side, I wonder if employers will continue to value either certificate. Did they ever?
