I guess powder coating would go under this forum. Anyway, I was out in the shop today and started powder coating some casings. I noticed that my spray needed to be a little tighter. Well, dumba$$ me reached for the tip and I heard, saw and felt the spark![xx(] The jolt went from left hand, up through my dang teeth and down to the finger tips on my right hand. Stupid me didn't take my foot off the pedal! [:o)]

So, do tell. Did you do that dance where your teeth are clinched together, your left arm pulled up in front of you and all that moves is 1 leg and you just do a circle? You don't mention if you lost bodily fluids either.

Dustin...kind of an exact question. Must be speaking from experience? [;)]

Um, this one time a friend of a friend who's second cousin was married once of 4 times to his brothers, sisters, aunt told me that could happen. [:D][:I]
 
Shocking!!!![:D]

Which came first the site, sound or feeling?[}:)]

In my humble opinion, this is not the appropriate way to jump start your day.
 
THarvey.....I saw it, felt it and heard it all at the same time![xx(] That stuff is fast![:D]

I was doing a dance alright. The "Oh, please get it off of me" dance! I wonder how many volts that was.
 
All kidding aside, the FIRST think you do after you finish coating is to ground the tip. You do not need to have the switch on to get zapped. (Either hand held of foot pedal controls) I would not even put the gun down until you do this. [;)]

Most people would be shocked to see what happens if you dont. [}:)]
