Isn't that what powder coat does?

How would you powder coat a room? Powder coated items need to be put
in an oven to cure. UV light would be far simpler. UV light cured
adhesives are what orthodontists use to bond brackets to teeth as speed
is paramount. There would be a huge, instant market for such a
coating.

The issue would be the UV threshold. I wonder how intense the UV light
would have to be to kick off the reaction.

Who said anything about a room? He said electronic gadgets and patio
furniture.

I see the bigger picture. ;)

Seriously, being able to dispense with the baking part of the powder
coating process would be a big advantage, wouldn't it?
