Operating Instructions
- Prime System: Follow your airless sprayer's instructions to prime the system with your chosen material.
- Adjust Pressure: Start with a lower pressure setting and gradually increase it until you achieve a consistent, even spray pattern without tails (uneven edges). The Fine Finish Nozzle is designed for optimal atomization at low pressure.
- Test Spray: Always test spray on a piece of scrap material to verify the spray pattern and adjust pressure as needed.
- Spraying Technique:
- Maintain a consistent distance (typically 10-12 inches) from the surface.
- Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, moving your entire arm, not just your wrist.
- Overlap each pass by approximately 50% to ensure even coverage.
- Release the trigger at the end of each pass to prevent excessive build-up.
