powder paint problem in the fluid bed (red)

i might have just gotten a bad batch of paint? pro-tec powder paintis the only type of powder paint that i buy i have like 7 or 8 different colors of paint but ive got just 1 fluid bed cup at the moment and ive just been using the same cup and just cleaning the cup out do you think that that could have something to do with my red just smokeing?

Awhile back CSI (Pro-Tech) changed owners. Some users, on another site, noted difficulty in using some of the new PP. It could be that you do have a bad batch. CSI also supplies Netcraft.

Pour the pp on a pane of glass or a mirror, level it out, and look for clumps. Use the back of a spoon to mash down the pp.

Try adding 1 or 2 table spoons of clear to 1 ounce of red.

Make some extra cups using membranes that have different sized pores.

what kind of material is the bottom of the cups made of and where could i get some or would it be cheaper to just buy the cups from a dealer?

I used paper coffee filters on my cups. They seem to work fine. I made 5 of them

Not sure where you got your fluid bed - can't tell you what your medium is. Like LD said you can use coffee filters - have read where someone has used pillow case material. Some use micro mesh screen.
