This Issue’s Question:
True or False:
If you use a powder application
room, you should have ample
space to store at least 24 hours’
worth of powder supply so the
powder can acclimate to the
temperature of the room before
use.

Last Issue’s Question:
The question for the July/August edition of Pop Quiz, along with the answer is:
Q: Your company powder coats one side of a two dimensional part. What type of powder booth would be
most suited for this type of part?
A. Batch Booth
B. Conveyorized Booth
C. Chain-On-Edge Booth
D. Flat-Line Booth
A: The correct answer is D and can be found on page 146
of the Handbook. Flat-line booths are primarily designed
for the one-sided coating of two-dimensional parts of
minimal thickness. When a two-sided coating is required,
it can be accomplished using a two-pass process.
Editor’s Note: Some respondents noted there is no such thing
as a two-dimensional part. While this is technically correct, the
Handbook uses the phrase to describe a thin, flat part.
Last issue's winner is:

The t-shirt you selected
is on its way.
