The following starting points are suggested. However, adjustment is partly trial
and error, depending on the viscosity of the material and coverage required.
Always take care that the paint material is free of lumps. Follow the
manufacturers instructions when mixing materials.
a When spraying acoustic panels,
set the orifice plate to the third
smallest size (5/16”) opening.
b When spraying sand finish with dry-
walling material, set the orifice
plate to the smallest size (7/32”)
opening.
c When spraying orange peel
texture, set the orifice plateto the
third smallest size (7/32”) opening.
Set the stop lock on the gun, so
that the spraying nozzle is approx 1/16” from the orifice plate. This will
reduce the amount of material flowing from the gun, causing it to leave an
orange peel texture.
d When spraying a splatter texture, use the air regulator to deliver approx 4-
6psi. Set the orifice plate to the third (5/16”) or fourth smallest size (1/4”)
opening
e The air texture gun can also spray glitter if the material and gun are both
kept dry. Approx 15 psi is recommended to apply glitter to panelling and
25-30 psi to cement and stucco surfaces. The glitter should be sprayed on
while the underlying material is still tacky enough to receive it and to form
an effective bond.
MAINTENANCE
After use, always clean the gun and hopper with clean water ready for the
next use. It is essential that the spray gun is kept clean. Dried paint in the nozzle
assembly or airways will stop the gun from working correctly.
For the gun to perform at it’s best the moving parts should be lubricated
regularly using a light machine oil. Use a couple of drops of oil inside the air
inlet (35) to lubricate the inlet tube (30) and repeat this through the trigger
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE SPRAY GUN FROM THE AIR SUPPLY AND
RELIEVE ANY PRESSURE IN THE GUN AND HOSE BEFORE DISASSEMBLY.
