Thanks for the replies. Jig man, thanks for the advice with the silicone. I will use that in the future if I have to replace the canisters. Geckert, your profile says you are from the jersey shore. Even though I live in SC right now, I moved down here from New Jersey. I lived in morris county. About 5 minutes from lake hopatcong. I got the fluid bed working and finally used my new weedless football jig mold today. The paint job came out great. When I cured it in a toaster oven, the were no runs of paint at all. I will post some pictures of the 2 jig heads I made today. Just a test run before I start to make more. I have noticed that the powder paint seems to be very thick and constantly needs to be stirred up. But it works great. Just a quick dunk, and the paint is good.

I finished building a fluid bed. It works, but I have some questions. I've noticed some little small volcanoes in the powder when the air is pumping in. The more I open the valve, the more the powder becomes a big cloud of smoke. When I turn the valve down, there is very little movement. The powder paint seems very thick. I mixed it up before I put it in the canister, and then mixed it up again once in the canister. Also, when you are using glue to secure a vacuum bag to the bottom of the canister, if you sit it on top of a piece of wood to press down and secure it, it sticks to the wood, and the rips when I try to lift it off. Any suggestions..
