Guys, could you start another thread and link to it? Not to be a PITA, but when I visit this thread, I'm looking for tips on powder coating and not information on another forum or group.

BTW, I went to the site and found it rather difficult to enjoy because of the format. Being used to modern forums and their setups, trying to view topics and posts on your site seems very tedious and antiquated. Being someone who doesn't have time to struggle with a site, I'd love to see what all the hubbub is about should you ever upgrade it.

Please, back on topic...

Well it is about powder coating, if you look its about the prep work and how its done. More importantly how it is done more efficiently which in turn helps your results and turn around times.

Good tips... Why not contribute all that info here instead of requiring an invitation code some place else? It's spam for another forum, period, and would be removed on most other forums.

The funny thing is that not only is he directing people and information away from this forum, but he's selling a product as well. This is the thing that really gives me a [sarcasm]chuckle[/sarcasm]:

Great buncha people and here's the real kicker! and no spam from that group EVER.

I have been troubleshooting my setup for a long time. Ive been able to do 3 coats on some occasion, but cannot do 2nd coats most of the time.

I though it was humidity in my lines (big compressor) so I put a water trap on compressor.

Then thought about ground issue. I drove a 9 feet long grounding rod in earth, and not in sandy soil, great ground. No dice.

Then I tried putting 50 feets of tubing and a dessicant dryer just before my powder gun. This dessicant dryer DOES grab water as it changes color. But, I cant do seconds coat still.

Now im pretty sure its humidity in the surrounding air. The place I shoot my parts in is not temperature or humidity controled.


Briefy, this is request for you guys, If you could tell me what your humidity levels are when you shoot your 2nd or 3rd coats. I'll buy a meter and give you my humidity readings.


Thank, a friend is waiting on parts, but it needs pearl in the clear, so I cannot hot flock it because it makes blotches of pearl.
