Material
preparation
Start Before you begin:
Before spraying, the material being used may
need to be thinned with the proper solvent as
specified by the material manufacturer. Never
exceed the thinning advice given by the coating
manufacturer.
Do not use materials with a
flashpoint below 70°F (21°C).
Material to be sprayed should always
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.
1. Stir the spraying material
thoroughly before
measuring viscosity.
4. Unscrew the cup from the spray
gun.
5. After the material has been
properly thinned and strained,
fill the container to the top of the
neck.
6. Carefully screw the cup back
onto the spray gun.
2. Dip the viscosity test
cup completely into the
spraying material.
3. Hold the test cup up and measure the time in
seconds until the liquid empties out. This time is
referred to as Runout Time.
