b. How to spray properly
(See Fig. E, F).
• Hold the spray gun at a constant dis-
tance from the object. The ideal spraying
distance is approx. 15 cm.
• Spray evenly up and down with smooth
passes at a consistent speed as illus-
trated in fig. E. Doing this will help avoid
irregularities in the finish (i. e. runs and
sags).
• Always apply a thin coat of material on
the first pass and allow to dry before
applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
• The closer your sprayer is to the object
being sprayed the more the over-spray.
• When spraying, always press and hold
the trigger of the spray gun after spray
pass has begun and release trigger
before stopping the pass. Always keep
the gun pointed squarely at the spray
surface and overlap passes slightly to
obtain the most consistent and profes-
sional finish possible.
9. Cleaning the spray gun
(See Fig. G).
Special clean-up instructions for
use with flammable solvents (must
have a flash point above 21 °C):
• Always flush spray gun outside.
• Area must be free of flammable vapours.
