FINISHING TIPS
Orange Peel:
Reduce viscosity. Increase atomization with a smaller fluid tip (5). Spray area may be too cold.
SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED APPLIANCES
Sags or Runs: Move spray gun faster. Spray lighter coat. Increase atomization.
Wet and Milky: Finish applied too heavy. This condition is prone to trap water within coats. Apply lighter coat.
Blushing:
Seal coat applied over solvent-based stain that has not been completely dried.
Rough Surface: Seal coat not sanded enough. Sand smooth and re-coat.
Fish Eyes:
Surface is contaminated. Clean surface, sand area and re-coat.

ACTION REQUIRED
Thin as required using appropriate thinner (see thinning instructions).
Clean Gun
Add undiluted paint
Reduce the paint output by adjusting the paint flow adjuster (9)
Increase speed of application
Release Trigger sooner
Increase the distance between the spray gun and the work surface
Reduce paint flow and move further from the surface.
Add thinner
Clean the fluid tip (5)
Clean the gun
Replace air hose (13)
Filter the paint
Refill paint container (12)
Check that the pick-up tube (11) is pointing towards the paint
Check the condition of the filter (14) and clean if necessary
