Getting a uniform layer of powder onto a part can be a little difficult. We have the Eastwood dual voltage Powder Coat Pro gun, and therefore we have the ability to fine tune some settings to get a more perfect part.
...
The low voltage setting can be turned on by setting twisting the switch to setting #1voltage knob to a lower voltage ~10. This is used for hard-to-get-to places such as holes, and 90 degree corners. The diffuser is required when using the low voltage setting. You You should do your low voltage spots first.
...
The high voltage setting can be turned on by setting twisting the switch to setting #2voltage knob to a higher voltage ~40. This should be your default setting when using the powder coat gun. You can take the diffuser off while using the high voltage setting if you prefer - this will get you a narrower cone of powder spray.
Cleaning up
Once finished with your parts, or when you need to change colors, ensure you clean the booth and your gun.
- BEFORE cleaning your part or the booth, ensure the booth vent is on, and the voltage is turned off.
- Ensure that your powder coating gun is in a secure spot, and will not fall over.
- Get a large shop vacuum, and ensure the filter is mounted properly, and in good condition.
- Use the vacuum on the tip of the powder coating gun.
- Take off the tip of the powder coating gun and using compressed air blow out the inside and outside of the gun.
- Start using the vacuum from the top of the booth to the bottom, ensure you vacuum up all powder.
- Use compressed air to spray off the bar on the top of the booth.
- Use compressed air to spray off the filter guard in the back along with the vacuum to ensure that it is fully cleaned and the powder does not spread.
- Double check to make sure all powder is cleaned up, and that cleaning off the filter guard in the back did not spread further powder.
