Re: Powder Powder Everywhere, Newbie
Being a newbie myself and reading this forum for some time, dust was a major concern with me especially having an attached garage. What I did was spend the extra money and bought a 1-1/5 HP Delta dust collector, about $350.00, that collects down to 1 micron. I also built a booth using a furnace filter as the base. Actually it works very well. There's some downdraft but not enough to effect appling the powder. My other concern was using fans that drew the powder through or past the fan motor. That's an accident waiting to happen. It may be more costly on the front end but safety was my main concern. I also justified the cost because Harbor Freight sold me their display powder coat oven for $175.00 verses $400.00. It was only missing a knob and door latch which I replaced for nothing. Hope this helps.
