On Wednesday around 3:30 to 4:00 pm, I went to refurbish a part for the Windmill press that had a very deformed finish on it and because someone didn’t clean the powder coat booth, it exploded all over me. Normally I don’t mind getting dirty; but, having more powder on me than my part is a bit absurd. I hate to complain; but, if you are using the powder booth is it possible that you could better clean up the excess powder when done? There was a good 1/2 to 3/4 pound of powder in the booth when I opened it up and I and practically the entire hot shop got coated. It took about an hour of cleaning to get the shop clean enough to be presentable.

I wish there was a better way to get people to clean up after themselves. It’s not just metal. The woodshop suffers the same. Sorry that happened to you.

What do we use normally to clean up powder in the booth? Maybe we could make some cleanup equipment easy to find and use…

I don’t think the brush and dustpan are that hard to find as it is. I think it’s just pure laziness.
