Spraying Latex with HVLP

SonomaProducts.com · 2011-05-23T04:19:00+00:00

I have a Graco 3 stage HVLP. Love it for shellac, lacquer, poly, dye,etc. I bought a bigger tip. I have a 2qt pot that takes pressure frommy compressor then a material line out to a gun which has the hvlp airalso. It blew the BIN primer well but the LatexEnamel Semi Gloss wasalmost to heavy to spray but I got a decent spray after tweaking theflowiretc.I am getting small air bubbles in the paint. Just pin head sized butlots of them they don't pop and end up leaving nibs once dry.I know this setup is barely strong enough to blow latex but wonderingif anyone has any ideas. I did use some flowtrol. Not sure if that wasthe issue or if I should use more or what.I am pretty sure I had the gun and lines clear of the alcohol fromcleaning the bin and I sprayed one side of 6 cabinet doors and wasstill getting bubbles although tweaking to lees paint seemed to help abit.

Do you have it set to filter out your own messages? Google can be as far as 12 hours behind real-time, too, so don't rule that out. They get BUSY!

Still screwed up. Says I am looking at messages 11-19 of 31 but shows all 19 in the tree and now way to show 20-31. Opened "Industrial Accident" and it says there is 15 messages but only shows me three. Maybe need to learn about news readres and find something that works better than Goog

Answer: Anything else. Get Agent (or Free Agent) and grab a subscription with one of the news providers. It's worth $2.95 a month to me for APN news (and $30 for the reader, Agent, with a $15 upgrade once every decade or so.)
