Whaaa. . . ?. . . leaving powder sitting for several months?
+1make one out of aluminum.
I put mine away by emptying the reservoir powder back in the jar after every loading session. I do this because I don’t want to have the bottle I’m using moved or put back on the shelf and then be unsure of what powder it is in the hopper.Whaaa. . . ?
Why would you do that? Do you leave open cans of paint sitting out for several months too? Paint, and powder, are both mixtures of solids, volatiles, and preservatives that are constantly evaporating and oxidizing. The rust is likely due to ammonia one of the byproducts of oxidizing preservatives.
Power goes back in the bottle, every time, every day. If you don't have time to put it away, you didn't have time to take it out.
Is that what this is? Or is it something from leaving powder sitting for several months? If it is rust, what can I do prevent this?
