Basic Spraying Techniques
NOTE: Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice these
basic spraying techniques before you begin spraying the
surface. Anything you don’t want painted that is in
the area of your spraying surface should be covered
or removed.
Hold sprayer at least 25 cm (10 in.) from surface and
adjust accordingly to achieve desired results. Aim
sprayer straight at surface. Tilting sprayer to direct spray
angle causes an uneven finish.
Flex wrist to keep sprayer pointed straight. Fanning
sprayer to direct spray at angle causes uneven
finish.
NOTE: How fast you move the sprayer will affect spray
application. If material is pulsating, you are moving too fast.
If material drips, you are moving too slow. See Trouble-
shooting, page 21.
Triggering Sprayer
To achieve even spraying, pull trigger after starting the
stroke. Release trigger before the end of the stroke.
Sprayer must be moving when trigger is pulled and
released.
Aiming Sprayer
Aim tip of sprayer at bottom edge of previous stroke, over-
lapping each stroke by half.
