Alright an update is in order. I have evolved from water heater boxes to a real blaster box. So yesterday it was drier than Tommy Chong's mouth while I was blasting a few pieces. I noticed that I was getting hundreds of little voltage zaps thru the gloves. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I think it is static discharge but I'm not sure. I ran a ground wire from the cabinet to a copper pipe but it did not help. So I just bit the bullet and finished. ( I felt like that idiot radioman on the sub in that Kelsie Grammer movie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) ). In retrospect should I have stood on a rubber mat, instead. The cabinet is insulated from the metal stand by a piece of plywood, also. Should the wood be removed? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Any thoughts?
