Spray performance will depend upon a number of factors: material thickness, spray
pattern selected, material volume, and air volume. With any type of spray system,
desired spray results will be achieved through some trial and error while adjusting
some or all of these variables.
Review these pages to learn about the spray controls and how they can be used to
acheive the desired spray results.
Notice:
