My random renderings......... Gotta back off on that gun and it's location to the part,friend. Before you know it, yer gonna blow yourself up if it's that close and it sets off a spark. (don't believe you can do it? Take a concrete tube, put a small votive candle in the bottom and light it. Good....now shake and powdered organic over it such as flour or some such. Not a lot....just enough to create a dust much as when you are powder coating. STEP BACK! Bet you even money it's gonna ignite and VOOOOF!) Many coating shops go up in flames like this. Is it gonna be any less pretty than when it happens in your garage? I highly doubt it. Even aged powder should stick a little bit to the parts, no matter the electrostatic application (tribo, corona,etc). Cut your air flow down and stand away from the part. I bet you'll have better results.
(for more about this entire process, see my posts in Tips and Tricks at the top of this category listing)
Hope that helps.....and PLEASE be careful. No more REO Speedwagon lightshows with the powder guns,k? lol.....Russ
