![]() May be something as extraordinary as that. There was a discussion not too long ago where a finisher changed brands of deodorant and caused a contamination problem. If there's an air vent or heat supply in the path to that one booth, check that as a source. Switch personnel and see if the problem moves. If the contamination is limited to one booth and you've ruled out the equipment (including the air filtration system), then it's either the personnel (spray operator, stain wipers, or sanding crew) that work that booth or something along the path to the booth. Start raising hell, who knows - you may just get your boss's attention and get the credit your department deserves.įrom Paul Snyder, forum technical advisor: I also took to adding fisheye flowout (silicone) to all finishes in that shop to add a little bit of security. Thankfully, It didn't happen again and my bluff wasn't called. ![]() I presented the shop owner with a list of chemicals that would cause me problems in the finish shop and swore I would walk if I encountered the problem again. I don't remember the specific lubricant that was the culprit, but I do remember ransacking the entire cabinet shop to get rid of anything that would create that problem again. It sucks when you have to redo an entire rack of doors that fisheyed.Īny time a new employee starts, even if they aren't in my finishing department, I make sure to tell them what can screw up my finish and that it will be them who fixes it. Had I not been slow in the booth, though, the entire set of doors (nearly 200) would have been contaminated. Luckily I caught it in time and didn't have a repeat of fisheyes in my finish. On a slow finishing day, I was helping out with sanding and noticed that the guy who was making doors had a can of Lami-Lube nearby. That turned out to be my source of fisheye several months ago. If you've eliminated sources in the booth and the person spraying, go into the main shop and look to see if some idiot has used Lami-Lube on a shaper or router table. I had no problems with this until last week. I have changed the pump, lines, and guns. In the last week I have developed fisheye in one paint booth. I'm a finishing supervisor in the manufacture of wood cabinets.
