[cruizer]

actually, I bought one of those when I first started doing powdercoating. Yeah, it's a piece, but really for my needs it's served well. they only thingk i did was replace the gun with one from Menards, and I created a sand retrieval system where the hole in the bottom of the cabinet is left open, and a large funnel is attached to it. A tube drains the sand to through a house to a bucket below where it's screened before it hits the bottom of the bucket. And my return tube is in the bucket. Works quite well. Once in awhile I have to tilt the cabinet to get the sand through the hole, but it works.

Yeah, it leaks at like all the seals, but I have a large piece of plastic covering the top of an old large cardboard box that has abotu 2" lips on it. Keeps most of the sand contained. Once every couple months I fold up the plastic and dump the sand into the funnel.

The gloves and the plastic panel have both lasted me over a yar, although they are both in need of replacement now.
