Static Electricity Generator for powder coating bullets?

[David Sherman]

Have any of you added a Static Electricity Generator to your Powder Coating tools?
A couple of my recent Bullet Casting students have attached a static generator to their vibratory cleaner to improve paint coverage. They say that it only takes about a minute to get good results.
I have ordered parts to duplicate their system.
Anyone have any input?

Try rubbing an inflated balloon back and forth in your hair several times, then touch it to the projectiles.


OK, that's not helping…

I never added a generator, but I did put a dehumidifier in the shop when I was up there in Fairview Oregon because the humidity was so high in the winter. I noticed that if I kept the humidity somewhere between 50/70% in the shop it really helped the powder coating to stick. In the summer it usually wasn't a problem but in the winter and spring when the rain was pissing down it definitely helped. I also noticed that different powders stick better than others even within brands. Some are less finicky.
