-When completed, the object should be completely coated with a dull, opaque coat of powder.

10.When finished spraying:

-remove your foot from the Pedal Switch (11),

-press the Control Box Power Switch (17) to the OFF position,

-unplug the Control Box power cord from the electrical outlet.

WARNING: The Spray Gun is still elec- trically charged. Discharge Con- ducting Pole before touching or you could be shocked.

11.Touch the Conducting Pole (9) to the Ground Clip (10) to discharge any residual electricity.

12.Wipe the Scatter Tip off with a clean cloth.

13.Place the activated charcoal respira- tor over your face mouth and hose.

WARNING: The fumes produced dur- ing curing are hazardous to your health. Do not breathe the fumes.

14.With the oven preheated to the de- sired temperature (300 to 500 de- grees F), place the object on the oven rack, close the door, and turn the ventilation system ON.

-Typical curing time is 15 minutes. Check the Powder Coating container for recommended curing time and temperature.

-If the object is large, curing may take more time.

-The power coating should melt to a smooth, gloss finish all over the object.

-Check the curing object often to prevent over-curing which can cause roughness to the surface.

15.When cured, turn the oven OFF and open the oven door slightly to allow the object to cool gradually before removing.

When the object is cooled too rapidly, a dull finish may result.

Process Tips

1.To remove an orange peel effect after curing, wet-sand the object with 400 grit sandpaper, dry, and repeat the coating process. Over-powder coat- ing can cause this effect.

2.Polish with traditional paint polishes.

3.Lightly buff with a loose wheel and white rouge compound to remove imperfections.

4.Thoroughly clean the Cup before changing powders.

Some powders are made from poly- ester, while others are made from polyurethane. A mixture of both can cause pitting of the coated object.

5.Porous metal objects may need a thorough cleaning with a brush and pre-painting cleaning solutions.

6.If the powder starts to buildup in one place, blow off with light air pressure. Moisture in the air will cause pow- der buildup. Replace the Disposable Moisture Separator (8).

7.Poor disbursement can be caused by low air pressure. Adjust the air pres- sure or replace the Disposable Mois- ture Separator. The Cup should have at least one inch of powder during coating.

8.Use automotive paint remover to remove a cured coating.
