AIR CAP SET SELECTION
Six additional size setups are available as accessories.
Size
# 4
(1.5mm) is standard with all QTech HVLP guns.
1.0mm, 1.3mm or
1.5mm can be used for any type of fine-finishing application.
The
larger sizes such as 1.8mm allow for more fluid output - desirable with
fast drying lacquers.

VISCOSITY GUIDE
A Viscosity Cup (Ford #4 Standard) is included with your QTech system. To test
the viscosity of the paint material, fill the viscosity cup to the
brim and time how
long it takes for the liquid to empty out through the hole. We recommend you
experiment to find the ideal viscosity for your application and record the
information for the next time.
Always check with the manufacturer of the coating for assistance in thinning
for spraying. If their product is only designed to be brushed, they may not be too
helpful. But remember that any type of coating can be sprayed if it is thinned
correctly (with the appropriate solvent) and you have installed the ideal aircap set.
The chart below illustrates how many SECONDS it should take for the
material to flow out of the viscosity cup.
This is only an approximate guide.
We suggest thinning around 25% to begin with but this may contravene the air
quality control laws for your location. The solvent used for thinning is usually the
solvent mentioned on the can (instructions for
‘cleaning the brushes’). However,
please check with the coatings manufacturer. The aim is to thin as little as possible.
HVLP spraying is more friendly to the environment than most methods of spraying.
It reduces appreciably the amount of unnecessary misting and fogging (overspray)
associated with high-pressure spraying. Spraying with Nitrocellulose lacquer can be
hazardous. The lacquer, fumes and overspray are toxic, flammable and
explosive.
If spraying must be done inside an enclosed area,
ventilate well
.
Spray close to an open window or door and situate a fan to draw out the fumes
(an explosion-proof motor and explosion-proof lighting will be necessary).
Please check with the Local Authority having jurisdiction on this matter.
