Static and the plastic vial

[smokepole50]

This may have already been covered in the tips and tricks section but I thought I would throw it out in case it has not.

I found that if you dust the inside of you powder vials with a bit of graphite powder you will have no static issues causing the powder to cling to the inside of you vial. Most smokeless powder are already covered in some ammount of graphite to controll burn rate so it does not hurt a thing. The graphite I used was a large quart cantainer I bought years ago from John Deer to have graphite for my bow cam wheels. I'll never use it all in two life times.

Rub the inside and outside of vials with fabric softener sheet that is used in clothes dryers and powder doesn't cling to the sides.

I twisted a piece of a Bounce dryer sheet in mine, so far so good.

Dryer sheets here also even used ones usually work enough. You could probably make you own from a bore mop and liquid softener too.

The only catch on drier sheets is that some are better than others for this job. The last batch I bought was super cheap, and they left a waxy powder residue in my vials that I had to wipe out. I might need to try the graphite tip.

Never had static problems in my home made clear tubing vials but then again I used Triple Seven in them for years. Maybe that coats the inside with some kind of residue that prevents the static problem. Just my two, Rusty

I haven't found my vials to stick enough to worry about, but those dryer sheets should work well. One of the powders I used to use had so much graphite covering the granules it coated a bunch of my vials to make them look almost black. I think it was some old batch of IMR4198, but not sure, but nothing sticks to those for sure!
