This gun can be used with products having a viscosity ranging from 10 to a maximum of 60 seconds. Dip the viscosity cup into the material and fill up. Time how long it takes for the viscosity cup to empty (Fig.1).
Using the above chart (or manufacturer’s instructions) as a guide determine if the material requires further thinning, if so then thin accordingly.
