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.
Correct (Fig. 12 a) Be sure to hold the spray gun at an even distance of approx. 2.5- 30
cm to the target object.
Incorrect (Fig. 12 b) Heavy spray fog build-up, uneven surface quality.
An even movement of the spray gun results in an even surface quality.
When coating material builds up on the nozzle (A) and air cap (B) (Fig. 13), clean both
parts with a solvent or water.
8.3.2
