Submersible frame for maintaining a buoyant object in a flat state during a coating process

A method for evenly coating a buoyant object by submerging the buoyant object without distortion in a coating material in a tank, said method comprising:

• forming a submersible frame having a pair of opposing wire meshes coupled together by a pair of opposing sidewalls to form an enclosure with a pair of opposing open sides, and whereby said enclosure maintains the buoyant object in an undistorted flat state, said pair of opposing wire meshes and said pair of opposing sidewalls comprising a material having a density greater than a density of the coating material;
• inserting the object into said submersible frame through one of said open sides;
• lowering said submersible frame with the buoyant object therein into the coating material while maintaining said frame in a level position;
• maintaining said submersible frame with the buoyant object therein in the coating material for approximately a 5-10 second dwell time;
• following said dwell time, raising said submersible frame with the buoyant object therein while maintaining said frame in a level position;
• positioning said submersible frame with the buoyant object therein on a conveyor to enable air to circulate around an entirety of said submersible frame and coated buoyant object;
• and
• removing the coated buoyant object from said submersible frame through one of said openings after the coated buoyant object and said submersible frame are dry.
