ROPERLY
• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and one (1) or more
inches from the spray surface, depending upon the spray
pattern size desired.
• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a
consistent speed as illustrated below. 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.
• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after spray pass
has begun and release trigger before stopping the pass. The
best results occur when making 20-inch passes. Always keep
the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface and overlap
passes slightly to obtain the most consistent and professional
finish possible.
When you quit spraying for any length of time, turn the
turbine OFF and place the spray gun into the spray gun
holder on the turbine.

If spraying with an HVLP spray system is new or unfamiliar
to you, it is advisable to practice on a piece of scrap wood
or cardboard before beginning on your intended workpiece.
