    There are a couple styles of fluid beds I have seen. One uses a treaded union. It looks like this design would require you to dump out your paint when done as opposed to putting a cap on it and putting it on the shelf. What design do you all prefer?

    Unions are expensive. 2-3" of pipe is cheap. I prefer the cheap way.

    I use a vibrating table. No air. All my paint is in pee sample cups. I just place the pee cup in a holder on the vibrating table and turn power on and start dipping. Works great. No mess.

    My fluid bed is blowing air up 1 side and not fluffing all the paint. What could be the cause of this? I bought this bed I didn't make it.

    If it is one of those that has the hard filter in the bottom go around the bottom and onto the edge of that filter with some gel type super glue. Most likely culprit is a spot that didn’t get glued good lettin air between cup and filter.

    Here are a few pictures of my crude setup.

    Even though it has 3 stations, I almost always use only one. Sometimes 2 at a time if I am doing some two-tone tapping or something like it.

    For the station bases, I used the couplings that were threaded. I used the types of plugs that have a metal threaded insert so that I could mount them with a screw through the base.
