LFC
Flock Gun
with Quart Aluminum Cup
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & REPLACEMENT PARTS
FLOCK GUN USES:
Flock is being used for decorative purposes and functional
applications. New uses are being discovered daily in
utilizing this finishing material.
When flock is applied to toys, novelties, printed matter,
scenic backgrounds and window displays, the velour finish
is attractive and lasting.
Flock is employed for sound-deadening, as a build-up for
shock absorption, for felt like non-mar surface protection
and for gasket seal.
Flock is cotton, wool, rayon or other natural or synthetic
fibers cut to the lengths of 1/64", 1/32" or 1/16". Longer
fibers are not recommended for the
LFC
Flock Gun. The
binder or adhesive is a silk screen process color or a
special adhesive. Both flock and binder are obtainable at
leading paint supply stores. Binder colors vary from the
deepest black to delicate pastel shades. For good matches
binder colors should be the same shade as flock used. By
varying binder shades, novel tones can be obtained.
DIRECTIONS . . .
1. Before connecting air hose from air supply to air inlet of
flock gun, blow out airline to remove any moisture and
other foreign matter. For art, display and small production
flocking for which the
LFC
Flock Gun is designed, use
Paasche’s
D
Air Compressor W/Switch. For high speed
work, a larger Air Compressor is required.
2. Fill cup three-quarters full with dry flock. Be sure it is
dry; damp flock will nest and may cause clogging of the
gun. For satisfactory operation of gun it is essential that
air be dry. To assure clean, dry air, a Paasche
R2-1/4M
Regulator & Condenser Unit
with manual drain is
recommended.
3. Screw cup onto gun. Make sure gasket is in position
and screw cover is on tight.
4. Adjust
LF-61 Fan Guard
for round or fan spray.
5. Start Air Compressor, open air line valve, pull trigger.
6. For spray adjustment, the
LF-72 DIAL
controls the
amount of air blowing flock through the multiplehead,
and the ajitator tube. Turn the dial all the way down until
it stops, then turn it counterclockwise until desired flow
is achieved.
7. When applying the flock, direct the spray at several
different angles to obtain good coverage. Release trigger
at end of each stroke to save material and assure uniform
coverage.
OPERATION SUGGESTIONS . . .
Binder may be applied with models
HG-08
and
KRG-14
Spray Guns or L Sprayer
. They assure uniform
application of material.
For economic, sanitary and safety reasons, a
CB or FB
Ventilating Flock Reclaiming Booth
should be used for
recovering unused flock and removing dust and fumes as
illustrated in Paasche’s Industrial Catalog.
