Powdered Paint?

[Bob/Mn]

Is there any info on how safe powdered paint is? I am concerned about the dust that is created using a fluid pot procedure.

There is no warning label on the containers,but I hate to assume.

FYI

I received this info from A paint company.

How do you like the fluid pot for powder painting? Are they easy to use or is there a learing curve to them?

The fluid pot does a good job with powdered paint. No more paint runs from over coating.

I made my own pot from 2 inch pvc pipe.
