MATERIAL PREPARATION
i
Material to be sprayed may need to be strained to remove any impurities in the
paint which may enter and clog the system. Impurities in the paint will give
poor performance and a poor finish.
*THINNING THE MATERIAL
Before spraying, the material being used may need to be thinned. Never exceed the thinning advice
given by the coating manufacturer.
Most paints do not require thinning but some paints with heavy pigments and solid bases may
require thinning to spray as desired.
If thinning is necessary, use water or paint conditioner (such as Paint Easy™) for water-based materials,
mineral spirits for oil-based materials. Never exceed the thinning advice given by the coating
manufacturer.
i
Only thin the material if absolutely necessary to improve spray performance.
Optimal spray performance should be acheived simply by adjusting the various
controls on the unit.
Do not thin with materials that have a flashpoint below 100°F (38°C).
