Yes it aerates and boils the paint in the cup and applies a thin even coat of paint to the heated head. I use a heat gun to heat the head then quickly dip it in the paint. No more plugged up eyes to chip out and it uses a lot less paint. I will take some more pics how I made them and post them. You can also search on here fluid bed and it will pull up a lot of info. Google it and it will bring up some also.
They are easy to make I think I have about 40 dollars in it with the fish tank pump being the biggest cost. If anyone wants to make some let me know I have a lot of airstone left I would let ya have.
There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

So do suspend the air stones directly in the powder?

I think he needs to give a demo at camp this year.
A gun, like any other source of power, is a force for either good or evil, being neither in itself, but dependent upon those who possess it
From an old movie I sawSpiderdog62 thanked you for this post

The air stone is epoxy into the bottom of the cup. Paint sits on top of it and air flows through stone via the air pump through a control valve so you can adjust flow.
I will post up pics tomorrow of it apart so you can see it in pieces.

I entered "fluid bed" and got a lot of stuff. But there are some links to YouTube stuff that are very informative. I'm gonna try this.
I'll smoke just about anything (in my smoker)
The fishing is always great. The catching varies.

The bed
Base without cup
Air stone epoxy in bottom of cup
Air stone before trimming it to fit cup.
Parts are pvc pipe fittings in whatever size you want to make. They are a threaded cap for base a double threaded union and a threaded coupler. Then you will need a fish tank pump and valves.
Attach base to board then screw on the union and screw in cup once air stone is fitted in place. Drill hole for valve in base and attach valve. Add paint and adjust air flow till paint starts to boil.
Heat head and swipe quickly through paint.

I bought the stones on ebay they were for a large tank or goldfish pond. I trimmed them with a grinder to size. Note they are hollow so one stone made two cups.
I have 4 or 5 more stones if someone wants them I could either mail them or bring them to camp. Or if interested I could make you a bed for the price of the fittings you supply your own pump
