How to hold your spray gun
And why: wrong angle = an uneven coat
|
Spray with the gun
held about 6-8 inches away from the workpiece and depress the trigger until it
lays down a correct swath of finish (a “wet” look for nitrocellulose
lacquer, a “half dry” look for waterbase
lacquer).
|
|
Hold the gun
perpendicular to the surface being sprayed and move it parallel to the surface,
keeping the same distance from the work throughout the spray stroke.
Don't swing it in an arc, which will produce light coverage toward each
side and heavy coverage in the center.
Each pass should overlap the previous one by about a third.
Moving the gun
too slowly will cause the finish to puddle; moving too fast will leave the
surface rough when it dries.
