How much powder paint per fluid bed size?

[Headstamp]

I can regulate that by varying the height or length of the piece of 2" pipe I use. I simply glue a 2" piece of pipe to the male adapter. I dump a whole jar in there (2 oz.). Figure on it raising up at least one inch when the air is on from an "at rest" level.

Tutorial??? I'm starting to powder paint my jigs and I think pictures and such would make this much easier to understand. If anyone has the time I know I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I was reading this post and am in need of a fluid bed. Does anyone have actual plans so I can make one?

Just made my first fulid bed. The instructions here were good.

But, here is what I did with the paper bag. I used both a paper bag and also tried some butcher paper I had. I have a roll of butcher paper that I got from Gordon Food Services. You can use it for tons of things. Great for putting under the project and collecting whatever. Anyhow, it works great for spilled Powder Paint as well - wonder how I found that out?

What you can do to hold the paper in place is take a test cap and cut out the bottom - removing all but the flange and the vertical side. Then press that into the paper and it seals it into the tube. Trim any excess paper.

If anyone needs instructions to build or pics of a fluid bed you can email me at fishcrzy1@mail.com and I will try and get it to ya. I made a round 4 inch one for doing my spinnerbaits and it works great.

Guys this thread made me register for the site. I've been wondering if I could build my own fluid bed and it looks like the answer is yes. Thank you for the information and I hope I can contribute stuff in return.
