| Topic: Static Cling | | Question | | I've done some preliminary experiments with Sign•Foam 3 and have noticed that it has nearly no negative side to it, other than what may be its possible negative electrical charge, (might be a positive also, however). The problem stems from its own abrasive dust sticking magnetically to itself and to you and to your tools, finishes, and it is difficult to vacuum up. How, in addition to using a proper dust extraction system, can you control the spread of Sign•Foam dust around the workshop and prevent it from contaminating the finishes of other work that might be taking up some other horizontal space? Would the "Ionic Breeze" do the trick? | | Answer | The static cling is truly one of the downsides of working with Sign•Foam. We have some anti-static agents built into the chemical formula and they are actually doing quite a bit already in terms of the potential static charge. There are a few things that may help in the clean up. First, as static build up is compounded in dry weather, you can run a humidifier to add some moisture in the air. You may also want to purchase a product call Static Guard from the drug store. This comes in a spray can and you simple spray down your shop brush before you wipe off you equipment. This will cut down on much of the static cling. As far as the "Ionic Breeze" is concerned, I don’t know anyone who has tried, but if it works out be sure and let us know.
