Seems that I'm always pulling the control box off into the floor. I have not taken it apart yet to see if can. (Guess I should do that first before posting.) Same for the current button too. I do plan on adding a extra grounding wire. As you can see.....I'm a beginner. So this may be a stupid question. <br /><br />Thanks for your knowledge and letting others benefit from it.<br /><br />Hump.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06256316172265271975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576346347573188227.post-4861432063605968212017-09-08T13:22:28.070-07:002017-09-08T13:22:28.070-07:00Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. The...Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. The voltage is what attracts the powder to the part and without it, the only thing transferring powder to the part is air pressure. <br /><br />You can try the following to help with the faraday issues:<br />-install a grounding rod with as few connections possible and connect it directly to your part.<br />-try spraying the faraday areas first before coating the rest of the part.<br />-try spraying the faraday areas indirectly.<br />-try heating the part up before spaying, not too much, just about 115 degrees.<br />PowderCoatGuidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345212251907477269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576346347573188227.post-70973311897383839852017-08-12T20:52:27.834-07:002017-08-12T20:52:27.834-07:00I have the single voltage Eastwood gun and the usu...I have the single voltage Eastwood gun and the usual Faraday problems.

You may have to fight some frustrations with faraday cage areas and some powder spitting here and there but it is do-able. At the price-point the Eastwood gun sells at, it is great for a home powder coater that occasionally does powder coating work. I would upgrade to a better gun if you plan on doing paid work for others though.

If you want to do professional work, then the bare minimum would be a Redline EZ50 gun. A good step up from that would be a Hypersmooth Es03, but ideally, you should look at an actual professional level powder coating gun from Gema, Wagner, or Nordson.

I don't know if they ever got around to changing their literature though. I personally wouldn't purchase or follow their powder coating manual. Their powder coating guns work decently enough for hobby powder coating, but I recommend that you get your information elsewhere. Information on this website alone probably covers about 500% more than the Eastwood manual. Other good resources for information are the Powder Coating Institute and forums like powder365's.
