Hey all, hobbyist here, I’ve been on these forums for some time and reading up on stuff. I got a PC gun a couple months ago wired up my garage for 220 and got a clean used oven to shoot parts in. I’ve been looking around these forums getting lots of tips which have helped me out greatly in shooting my first couple of parts.

A few questions though, how do you guys handle hot parts that you’ve masked off and it’s flowed out a bit? Do you completely let it cool down and then unmask then bake it till it’s cured? How would you pull the tape/foil off without disturbing the flowed powder (obviously depending on size/shape of part)? Any tips tricks are appreciated!

Secondly I need to build a good PC spray booth, I’m just going to make it out of 2×4’s and some type of smooth plastic or plexiglass, I’ll put in a filter with a box fan on the backside to create airflow past the workpiece. I know it’s beneficial to ground a piece of metal behind the part I am shooting in the booth to collect charged powder but what is everyone using as a ground? I’m doing this in my garage with a concrete slab.

Lastly, my oven is a electric house oven that is quite old but is in fantastic shape. Has anyone made something for hanging parts to the top of the oven (inside) or do you just put a rack on the top rung and hang parts from there?

Thanks for any input!
