Default Re: Better fluidizing in the hobby gun?

I did the same thing you mentioned and it did seem to help. A couple of extra holes, about 1/8.

Sometimes my powder seems more "heavy" and clumpy and shoots like you described, other times it's light and extremely fluffy and shoots great. I assume it's the amount of moisture in the powder and the line making the difference.

In fact, that probably has a lot to do with how well the powder clings to the part, since things hold static charges much better in dry conditions.

I only mention this in case you think it might be part of your problem. It's sure caused me some headaches.
