I may be different, but I never considered static cling a "mess". I have never experience any static cling so annoying that I would not use that powder and even with the "bad cases" of static clean (dry, low humidity, hot weather?) A tap or two or blowing in the hopper for the last few granules has been sufficient. How much powder clings to the hopper ID? a couple tenths of a grain, a quarter grain? Not enough to bother with...
