I guess what I'm saying is I see my powder gather around the edges when I spray the powder on....and I read on a website on the troubleshooting that it says to suspend your parts closer to your rack to minimize this. On my sample pieces I always file down the edges to reduce the faraday on the edges and to eliminate any sharp places.

I always spray the front, then look at the back and I notice there is maybe 1/2" wrap around so I try to hit the middle but it still builds up on the edges.
