Earlex 3000 Paint Sprayer User Manual


 
PREPARATION
Preparation of the surface and thinning of the paint are
the two most important areas to be concerned with to
obtain the best results from your spray kit.
Ensure all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and
grease. If necessary rub down with sandpaper, or
similar.
Masking of areas is important to ensure you do not
spray those areas you wish to remain untouched.
THINNING
Your spray kit is supplied with a viscosity cup. Viscosity
is a technical term used to indicate if a product is very
thin or very thick. If thin, the viscosity is said to be low,
while if very thick the viscosity is said to be high.
Viscosity is measured in seconds. In order to spray
some materials they need to be “thinned” (diluted).
Thinning is very important when spraying. Most paints
etc are supplied ready for brush application and
may
need to be thinned (diluted) for spraying purposes.
