Problem

Cause

Solution

 

 

 

 

 

Excessive spray fog.

Atomizing air pressure too high.

Close restrictor valve some, or

 

 

 

decrease air pressure as low as pos-

 

 

 

sible; minimum 40 psi (0.28 MPa, 2.8

 

 

 

bar) needed at gun for full voltage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fluid too thin.

Increase viscosity.

 

 

 

 

 

“Orange Peel” finish.

Atomizing air pressure too low.

Open atomizing air valve more or

 

 

 

increase gun air inlet pressure; use

 

 

 

lowest air pressure necessary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poorly mixed or filtered fluid.

Remix or refilter fluid.
