Powder not charging
First, I want to let everyone know I ordered a Caswell Powder gun late last night after a very frustrating evening.
I purchased a Chicago Electric gun about a year ago and have been doing quite a bit of powder coating. Total, I’ve probably shot over 50lbs of powder. Over the last 4-6 weeks, I’ve noticed a lot more overspray, and I have been fighting coverage issues. Yesterday evening, I tried to spray black over a part that was previously sprayed with chrome back in April, and the powder pretty much bounced off. The ground was good, but I wasn’t even getting any powder on the ground wire. If I got the tip of the gun near the part, there was a small spark like a static discharge, but nothing major. I tried a part that was bare metal, and that didn’t work either. I ended up shooting both parts hot in order to get anything to work.
Has anyone else had this type of experience with the CE gun, or with any other gun? Is there a way of checking the power supply?
