Nice tip for emptying Powder Dispensers ...

[rustyinbend]

A buddy told me to do this, and it works great. Just grab a few (2 or 3) used dryer sheets from finished dryer loads (Bounce, for instance) ... crumple them up and loosely store them in your powder hopper like I do in my Chargemaster below. It fights static electricity and makes the powder fall easily and cleanly when you clear the bin. Maybe everyone but me already knew this trick, but since it was an epiphany for me ... I figured I'd share it.

Good tip and as a bonus the powder dispenser will smell outdoor fresh!

nice tip! do yall's just beat your dispensers against the inside of the trash can to get those last couple of kernels out?

Not much smell ... since it's already depleted with a load of laundry. But "just enough" left to kill the static. If you want your Chargemaster to have that refreshing spring meadow smell ... use a virgin dryer sheet (but I don't recommend that). LOL

Haven't needed to ... my sequence is:

1. Empty the hopper
2. Brush the loose powder off of any surfaces
3. Dispense a large number (I do 80gr) until it stops trickling
4. Empty the hopper (again) to get the last of the powder out
5. Hold a small container under the tube and rotate 90° forward and tap once or twice

That gets everything out for me ... works better since I started using the dryer sheets to keep kernels from sticking.

I keep a dryer sheet under my charge master lite. It seems to work well, no drifting. Seen that somewhere and just wiping down the out side with it also.

Canned air. Empty the hopper and run a few grains out into the pan. Back flush the tube with the canned air dump hopper again. Super fast

This is the way

Fuck not any more. I make sure every kernel gets back to the container. I spill it all over the place anyway so those need to make it back in the jug.

Or just wipe down the inside of the hopper with a dryer sheet and you’re done, for years. No need to store them in there.
