Liquid material preparation (Fig. E and E1)
Tip: Make sure the type of material you use can becleaned with either mineral spirits
or paint thinner (for oil-basedpaints) or a warm water and soap solution (for watersoluble
paints like latex). Use drop cloths during pouring,mixing, and viscosity testing of materials
to be sprayedto protect your floors and anything else in the sprayingarea that you
wish to remain untouched.The liquid being sprayed may need to be thinned (diluted)
before starting. When thinning, use the proper liquidthinner recommended on the
container by the materialmanufacturer.
Warning!:
Do not use materials with a flashpoint higherthan 60°C (140°F) .A viscosity test
cup is provided to determine the"runout time" of the material being used.
► Before measuring for the proper viscosity, stir thematerial thoroughly.
► Dip the viscosity cup into the material being sprayedand fill the cup completely.
► With the cup held over the material container,measure the amount of time it takes
for the streamof material flowing out to "break" or stop being aconstant stream out
of the bottom of the cup (100 seconds or less) (Fig. E). This is the "runout time". Refer
to the thinning table for information on thethinning required for different materials.
► If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid, thinning material recommended
by the manufacturer(Fig. E1).
► It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit,however, the required thinning may exceed
materialmanufacturer's recommendation. Thin latex paintso that it runs through viscosity
cup within110 seconds. The operator should consider the type ofapplication and final
location of the project whenspraying a material that requires more than 110 secondsto
run through the viscosity cup.
