PRAY ROPERLY
• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and one (1) or more
inches from the spray surface, depending upon the spray
pattern size desired.
• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a
consistent speed as illustrated below. Doing this will help
avoid irregularities in the finish (i. e. runs and sags).
• Always apply a thin coat of material on the first pass and
allow to dry before applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
Even coat throughout
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed
• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after spray pass
has begun and release trigger before stopping the pass. The
best results occur when making 20-inch passes. Always keep
the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface and overlap
passes slightly to obtain the most consistent and professional
finish possible.
