Is it my imagination or is this a POS ?

Just used it for the first time and when is the powder going to be attracted to my aluminum part?

Using steel wire to hang -- thought I may try copper -- but even so, there's plenty of charge on the piece (at least I get a nice arc).

Maybe someone has had the same experience -- is this just junk or what?

Taking forever to get powder ON the piece and not to happy about breathing in that powder (AND I'm using a good mask) -- 1st experience with DIY powder -- going back to paint I think.
