Don't vacuum primers off the floor - Page 2

Today I was remodeling a closet where a mouse once gnawed through the side of an 8 pound jug of powder.

I vacuumed up a lot of powder today.

The local hardware or paint store should have painters canvas drop cloths that are light and pliable enough to put down and take up. A 3X5 would do wonders to keep the carpet cleaner and hold dropped primers.

Why can't I get a primer to go off in a vacuum cleaner?

What am I doing wrong?

Trying.

At work several years ago a co-worker/dip stick had a 100 ct. package of percussion caps accidently fall out of his coat pocket and then ran over them with an electric jack. You could hear that boom all over the building!

I reload over carpet, sometimes even with black powder.

I use those sticky lint brushes before vacuming. Gets everything.
