#1 Method to Troubleshoot a Powder Gun Problem...Follow the Air
As the old saying goes, if something is worth doing, it is worth doing it right. One sure fire method to solving a powder coating problem is to “Follow the Air.” During this presentation, attendees will learn what “Follow the Air” means and how it can be used to troubleshoot a powder coating problem. The information presented will focus on powder coating with a manual gun, however, much of the material can also be used to troubleshoot an automatic powder coating gun.
