Preparation
Start Thinning the material:
Before spraying, the material being used may
need to be thinned with the proper solvent
as specified by the material manufacturer.
never exceed the thinning advice given by the
coating manufacturer.
note: Make sure to consider which spray gun you
are using when determining whether or not to
thin the material. See "Notice", previous page.
Do not thin with materials that have
a flashpoint below 70°F (21°C). The
material flashpoint should be shown
on the material container.
note: Material to be sprayed should always be
strained to remove any impurities in the paint
which may enter and clog the system. Impurities
in the paint will give poor performance and a
poor finish.
