For a professional looking finish paint must be thinned. If manufacturers recom-

mendations on thinning are not available, the following can be used as a

general guide.

Water based paints (emulsions) 10-20% water.

Oil based paints (gloss) up to 10% thinners.

Cellulose paints up to 50 % cellulose thinners.

HANDLING THE GUN

the first requirement for a good resultant finish is the proper handling of the gun.

The gun should be perpendicular to the surface being covered and moved par-

allel with it. The stroke should be started before the trigger is pulled and likewise ,

released before the stroke is ended. This gives accurate control of the gun and

material.

The distance between the gun and the surface to be covered should be 6 to 12

inches depending on the material and atomising pressure. The material depos-

ited should always be even and wet. Lap each stroke over the preceding stroke

to obtain a uniform finish.

NOTE: To reduce overspray and obtain maximum efficiency, always spray with

the lowest possible atomising air pressure.
