Coating Bolt heads

[Guest]

Harleydad, I do the same thing except I use a folded up box that way I don't have to cover the backside. Great info!!

I do it the same way too. I like your idea though, I will start saving my small boxes.

You won't have a problem with the cardboard in the oven?

Re: Coating Bolt heads

If you have bunch to do, use a piece of cardboard and punch some holes in it. Wrap the cardboard in foil (heavy duty works best) and insert the bolts. Leave the head sticking up just a bit so that the foil won't stick to the bolt when curing. Cover the back side to avoid powder wrapping around to the threaded ends. Coat and cure.

Is that the ground clamp I see for your pc gun? Looks like a ground clamp for a welder.
Is the ground cable that big on the more expensive guns?

Re: Coating Bolt heads

Then what do you have the gun's controller ground clip connected to?

Re: Coating Bolt heads

It does make sense. That probably means the ground in my controller is very similar so I probably don't need to run a wire from that to my booth either, since my electrical power grounds the cabinet through the connecting conduit, the controller through the outlet ground, and is supplemented by a driven ground rod attached to the cabinet itself much like yours.

Thanks, Harleydad.

That would be nice one less cable to mess with and check on. Or clean for that matter. I do have my hanging cable I hook my parts to grounded to a half inch ground rod outside for an extra ground.

As told to me by the manufacturer of my gun, you also need to be somewhat concerned with the type of soil you're putting the ground rod into. Sandy soils will not get you your best best ground, it's fine in the spring when the ground is wet, but if it's real dry sandy soil it might be a good idea to also run the other wire. Grounding to a water pipe is also an option.

Makes sense. Mine is driven in good ol' ND clay. All of this just relates to good electrical practices.
