plbass Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I made a fluid bed using Cadmans instructions. I put paint in and turned it on and got paint blowing out in a couple of spots. Shouldn't the paint boil like water? I used a coffee filter for the bottom of the cup. Did i add too much paint? If so how much do i add at a time?

Jig Man Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Your paint will react differently as to color and brand along with temps and humidity. Sometimes I don't get any volcanoes at all. I put my paint on the cup and turn on the juice. I slowly crack the valve and stir with a popsickle stick. As long as the paint comes up and gets easy to stir I am happy. If I get volcanoes I turn the air back down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 Throw out the coffee filter and use paper. It has smaller holes evening out the air flowing threw the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 OH contrare. I have brown paper sacks, coffee filters and shop vac filters depending on the paint color and supplier. Try them all till you find out what works for you in your environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
