Spray technique
•
The spray result depends heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the surface to
be sprayed . Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and kept free of dust .
•
Cover all surfaces not to be sprayed .
•
Cover screw threads or similar parts of the target object .
•
It is advisable to test the spray gun on cardboard or a similar surface to find the
correct setting .
Important: Begin spraying outside of the target area and avoid interruptions inside
the target area .
•
The spray movement should come from the arm, not just from the wrist . This ensures
that a uniform distance is maintained between the spray gun and the spray surface
during the spray operation . Select a distance of 5 - 15 cm, depending on the desired
spray jet width .

•
Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up-and-down, depending on the spray
pattern setting .
•
An even movement of the spray gun results in an even surface quality .
