Re: Hull
Hello,
The paint looks great. Are you rolling and tipping or spraying? If you're rolling how much reducer are you using, I'm painting my cockpit cabinets indoors at 70 degrees and getting some orange peel. This is the first time this has happened so I'm trying to find what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks

Re: Hull
Check your reduction with a viscosity cup . I think a Zahn. #3 . Check air pressure at the gun handle also check the surface temperature of your cabinet. And of course check the instruction. Gun pressure at the gun handle is very important. Are you using a gravity,siphon or pressure gun setup, correct needle ,nozzle ?When you get the finish you want,write everything down ,temp,humidity,gun pressure etc.. Regards, Edward

Re: Hull
I'm rolling and tipping, so no gun settings to worry about. I think its reduction also. Thanks for the tip on viscosity, I'll get cups to check. I'm going to raise the temperature and wet sand everything to get everything as flat as possible. Is looking like two more coats will be needed anyway. Taking notes is critical and I have been using a scale to get the mixing correct as I'm only making 3oz of paint at a time.
Thanks

Re: Hull
You might consider warming the material if necessary. Put the separate products in some warm/hot water, then activate and reduce,might help the flow. Edward
