Re: bucktail help.......

Keith, I'm not having issues as you call out with the HF powder paint. Flows very well in my fluid beds ( I also have made my own now) with a quick stir at the beginning to get the air/paint flowing. Are you baking your jigs after applying the paint? Do you coat them? I use the ProTec for all my colors over the white and have few issues.

Re: bucktail help.......

Prismatic powders offers very good deals($4/lb) on short lots
and discontinued colors that you can use for base color.
The Eastwood Company is for white. I tried one of their
chrome powders and it looked great but it got funky
in the baking process.!!

I started out using the HF white in a 3 inch fluid bed and did not like the way it flowed. I also don't think it tough at all. Maybe top coating it with protec it does not matter?
