How large of a jig can you powder paint good? 1/8th starts getting a little bit more difficult. How far up can you go before it just does not work well?CF

Can't answer that exactly, I do 1/4 all the time with great results! I don't do anything bigger than 1/4 though.
How big do you want to go??? I know a guy who does 3-4 oz sea heads and use's an 8" bed - takes alot of powder but saves him a bunch of time. The only thing is the air pressure getting up in beds that large you'd need an air compressor with a way to really control the flow.
depends on your fluid bed. I use a 1" pipe for 1/48 - 1/8 and 2" from 1/8 - 3/4
I did make a rectangular bed a while back 1" wide 6" long for spoons etc up to 2 oz and works great.
I paint 3/8 and 1/2 oz in a 2" X 2 1/2" fluid bed with a tablespoon and a half of pp. Works good
Are You Guys building Your own fluid beds? If so, can you tell me how You built them? Thanks.CF
Alot of us do build our own they aren't hard to do. This is step by step how I did mine - you'll have to scroll down further in the thread as I messed up my Photo bucket and had to repost all of them
