@quitblazing Did you make a video of that oven you made? Or how about what materials you used to make it.

In the powder coating process, i think you need to heat the material first.

All you have to do is turn down the pressure use less paint and tune until u get a light cloud. Use a disposable in line or water separator or just a regular one. Try hanging it from a thick wire for better ground. I used thick welding wire and it sucks it to it like a magnet. I just made a custom 6 1/2 foot powder coating oven from materials at my job. The cleaner environment the better

Try sifting your powder with a fine strainer, like a flour strainer. it will take out those minor bumps in the finish! Best of luck!

hey you could paint
at b&r or maybe stick to welding!
There is WAY TO MUCH powder in that gun. That is the reason in is clumping out. I have that same system. There is a fill line on the powder container. You should only have about 2" of powder in it. My gun filled correctly produces a fine cloud of powder. You will go through a LOT less powder.

I bought my powder coat gun, and powder at Harbor Freight Tools. The gun was on sale for 50 bucks when I bought it.

Can you reuse the powder that falls off of the part?

I dont re-use it, but I guess you could if you wanted to. I would be afraid of it being contaminated with other junk, but if you dont care, I dont see why you couldnt.
