Powder Problems

Recommended Posts

just got a new supply of paint from columbia coatings and I can't get the neon pink or neon yellow to float. All I get is dust clouds the neon green isn't much better but it is manageble. anyone got any ideas on how to fix this don't want to send it back i need the colors and bought a pound of each. it is no good to me if I can' make it float right. any help would be great.

yes I mean fluid bed. have tried vaccum bags brown paper bags any other ideas?thanks

One thing that's helped me alot...commercial fluid beds have a vibrator motor in them, I put my homemade fluid bed on my scroll saw & turn it on then adjust the airflow for each paint. I think the vibration shakes the paint & helps prevent volcano formation. I'm not toadfrog lol but that's one of my "nutty ideas" and it works!

That is good thinking. Out of the box, as Pete would say.
