Prepare The Spray Material - WAGNER W 140 P Training Manual

Prepare the spray material

Paints are usually sold in a spreadable, undiluted state.
The paint usually needs to be diluted for use with the
spray gun. To thin the material you are using, try Paint
Easy™ Paint Conditioner for water based paints. It
thins the paint by adding a specially formulated
material for a finer spray. Water will also work but it will
dilute the material. For oil-based materials, use the
thinning agent recommended on the material container.
To achieve the correct dilution you have to use the
viscosity test cup supplied with the unit (viscosity =
consistency of the paint). Dip the viscosity test cup
completely into the spray material Hold the test cup up
and measure the time (in seconds) until the liquid
completely empties out. Compare the measured "run-
out" time with the viscosity table detailed on the
following slide. If the actual run-out time is greater than
the recommended run-out time, additional thinning of
the spray material will be required.
