Hey, I am new to coating also have not actually done it, but I think you are suppose to be grounding the actually part.(Alligator+Part)=electrostatic bound of powder to metal. I am a novice so make sure you know for sure before you try it.

You guys are confusing ME.. and I've been doing this PC stuff for awhile.
Suspend your part with wire off a metal rack. the clip the aligator clip to the metal rack holding the part. The part you are PC'ing just needs the ground to the powder coating box. Not to a stake in the ground or a lightning rod on top of your roof. :P |

jagboy, i understand that part. if you look at most standard plugs, they have 2 or 3 prongs. the ones with 3 prongs have a ground (the round prong) the plugs with only 2 do not have a ground, therefor your machine is not grouned like it should be, and i dont think the alligator clip comming from the machine will not work.

Yes, wire in a duplex receptacle (female) and get a ground somewhere. You can do the copper clad driving rod and bond it to that...or
If you have a metallic water line near by you can bond it to that "IF" you make sure the line is bonded where it enters the house. |
