I don't know how to explain this honestly, I had the chamber painted, had the bolts installed to create a spark gap. The spark gap formed flawlesssly before and after the paint dried. But a couple hours later, the spark stopped forming, I kept clicking and clicking and I noticed something wierd, I felt the shock as my hand got closer to the contacts. I clicked and I saw that a spark was made between the bolt and the layer of paint. I was confused so I held my finger above the chamber, far away from the contacts, and when I clicked, a spark formed between my finger and the chamber. What the hell just happened?
Just to show you guys what I'm saying [youtube][/youtube]
my paint became conductive?

The paint could have had some conductive elements in it...
