    I guess I'll try adding a ground wire.

    Sounds like you got that covered.
    I can only wonder about your climate?
    As an alternative approach, I did buy some of these vibrators and battery holders but never followed through to try them.
    I know some people use aquarium pumps attached to the measure.

    I have one hopper that I use almost exclusively with W231 for handgun loads. It is approximately 25 years old. The plastic is covered with stuck W231, but it is not stuck to any of the lower metal parts. My throws are always consistent, but yeah I really should just replace it. I’ve cleaned it before and as soon as you fill it up it sticks again.

    Maybe a glass hopper will help.

    Has anyone ever tried a Bounce fabric softener sheet to wipe down the interior of their powder measure? I have used that method for years and had good luck.

    Knock on wood, my guns don't rust and my powder doesn't clump. If it did, perhaps I'd go over to my vinyl collection and grab my static discharger?

    Don't try it with black powder.

    Play that song about the Irish chiropodist. Irish chiropodist? "My Fate Is In Your Hands."
