How you doing man. I’ve been watching your videos. I just started a coating job, and the company I work for is a small shop. I’ve noticed a lot of popping sounds when I’m in the booth. Suggested a ground rod, but then got told the best ground you can have is water line ground lol and not a copper rod. So is that a not to good way to ground a Booth ?? The water pipe is not copper at all just a steel one I think
Lol in my head I was like shit I'm gonna get attacks from Peta now...and laughed at how ridiculous it was that I needed to clarify. Thanks for watching
I am experiencing issues with powder coating. I am using epoxy polyester powder, but it is showing signs of corrosion or poor adhesion, particularly at the edges please help me to solve the problem
I live in a 150 year old home. My shop is a converted barn. Before I started powder coating in checked the electrical in my shop and the electrical needed to be replaced in total. I upgraded all the wiring and added a separate ground for the barn. Original there was no actual ground. When I started powder coating all way well, but I put in a dedicated ground rod in and I saw a much better result in powder sticking, lesser faraday effect. It’s most noticeable if I’m adding a coat over another like with translucents or primers and clear coats. Great video, great advice.
That green wire to the rod is super loose, it even twisted just from your slight touch. Might need to sand those connections up before you tighten it as well.
My shop is in a busy industrial area in NY. I have 220A on the electric panel I mean its in a Manufacturing zone so do I still need to ground to the floor with a rod? Can I use the wires coming off of the panel? Thanks in advance
What can i do if the ground is not deep enough. I'm living up a hill and in 6ft depth there is just stone. Can i connect 2 6ft-rods for grounding?? Thanks!!!!
Thanks for watching!

Effing rolling. The look after clarifying for PETA, it says so much. I know how you vote.

The wire on your ground rod needs to be tightened up! Enjoy your vids!

"How to ground for powder coating", then shows his ground rod with a very loose ground...
HI, thanks for sharing information, what about if my powder coating gun doesn' t have the ground wire?
That green wire to the rod is super loose, it even twisted just from your slight touch. Might need to sand those connections up before you tighten it as well.
the red wire for a grounding electrode conductor is blowing my mind right now....hahaha
Great Fundamental Basics.
Thankyou.

6ft is enough.
Is 8 ft really necessary...?
ya done good Dan the better the ground the better the job.
Whats the price on the Electron setups, is it still on sale?

You may want to tighten that ground screw on the green wire you grabbed hold of it's REAL loose if you rewatch your video. lol
Hey Dan, how about a tour of that AMAZING oven system of your's!?
How do you clean the hooks? Or do you throw them away?
we strip them in our greensolv tank
I don't understand why you need more ground rods than what your electrical service already has.
