Over the years, Capstan's field engineers have received many questions about blended pulse spraying, and its potential for causing skips in the field. In rare instances, skipping has been documented in the field. This technical bulletin is intended to explain pulse blending, and the techniques used to provide optimum spray coverage and to prevent skipping.
