More good tips - - - I really appreciate it!
But I believe on Batch #3 I have achieved success!
I took mifon's advice and shook and rolled my jars several times, then also made sure to tap-off excess powder
before setting in the heat gun.
Then I baked them, and guess what ?
NO DRIPS AT ALL!
It appears as though, if I am going to get into this powder coating thing, I need to invest in a Fluid Bed and some cups...
Once again, thank you all for helping a newbie.

You've already gotten some good info. Make sure your powder hasn't been exposed to moisture and starting to clump. I usually shake mind every couple of minutes. Fluffy consistency is best. Shake back & forth, tap and ready to heat in toaster.

Check this out. If you don't want to build your own TJ's tackle sells one with the cups with powder paint filter built in. Learn to use fluid bed and it makes a world of difference. Plenty of videos on YouTube for powder painting.
