Dear Joe,
I run a modest powder jobcoating shop. One of my suppliers keeps
telling me that I should switch from using hybrids and polyesters to
superdurable powders. What are superdurable powders, and should I spend
the extra money that these command?

Dear Joe,
We are running an overhead monorail and have two banks of overhead
lights in our inspection area. We have tried using a bank of vertical
lights, but I am looking to get the best overall lighting setup for a
variety of part shapes and configurations.

We've been having a nightmare
with craters in our powder shop over the last few months. We only spray
polyesters in our shop. However, one of our neighbors in our industrial
park applies a silicone-based military coating. I'm convinced the
overspray mist from our neighbor is causing our trouble. Am I correct
in my thinking, and what can I do to remedy this situation?

We are starting to manufacture
and sell our patent pending, ergonomically adjustable computer
workstations. We are interested in the powder coating process for wood
substrates such as high-density fiberboard (HDF) that have an even core
and face. Do powders for wood substrates still need refrigeration? We
would also like to find a powder coater of wood substrates in Northern
California or near Reno, NV, that does piece work.

Dear Joe,
In polyester/TGIC
systems, the Tg is sensitive. Every weight percentage of TGIC reduces

coatings?
