With the colder weather and lower indoor humidity, I'm getting a lot of static cling of cutting dust on the plastic and metal components of my Shark Pro Plus. Just the fact that I'm seeing rather heavy static buildup kinda concerns me, as I don't think a static discharge in a dusty environment, such as happens with the SPP, is safe. Are others concerned as well? Any ideas on how to control static electricity? Does it make sense to ground the aluminum table?

Re: Static cling
I eliminate any static by wiping down all booth surfaces with those fabric softener sheets that are used in the dryer. This also keeps the booth windows clean.

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't have any dryer sheets, but did have Static Guard spray aerosol. I used it to lightly spray the plastic and metal parts of the Shark Pro Plus as well as the Lexan front that I made for my enclosure for the unit. It worked very well.
