Default Re: Powder crawls away

Ok, sorry it took so long for me to respond. Had some trouble logging in.
sswee, yes, i'm pretty sure the part is cast aluminum and the craters are about 1/8 to 1/4 inch diameter.
hvac, i am using powder from Caswell. The gray stuff is from another company - it worked fine. I should have just left it alone.
Shelby, yes, it's the static cling thing that you mentioned. Very strange. I can actually see the little powder grains rolling away from the spots.
I'm going to try a light sand blast to rough it up a bit, then heat it up a little bit, and then pc it again.
Thanks for the advice. I'll let you know how it turns out.
