Building bat racks for the dugouts at my grandsons' ball fields. They are essentially 12, 3" x 12" PVC pipes attached to two 2x3 treated boards that then hang from the chain link fence. Very basic project except for the awful PVC shavings and dust! It is super static charged and sticks to everything. I have a good dust collector (1 1/2 hp Jet) that works well for wood dust and shavings but this stiff flies everywhere, sticks to the outside of the DC hose as much as it goes through it, and has made a mess of my shop.
HELP!
What do commercial shops or smarter amateurs than me do to control this problem? Is there something you can spray on the pipe to reduce the static? These racks have proven very popular and I have been asked to do 4 more but am reluctant to go ahead after just finally getting the last mess cleaned up.
