Hey Arcee
…yes…crank everything up.
Crank the engine all the way.
Crank the pressure all the way.
Spray a line.
If it’s still there…we have two options…
1) “Reduce” the paint = “thin” the paint…
SO…add a splash of water…maybe a “half cup of coffee cup amount”…stir well…circulate…
Try another line. Try this method only two times = two “half cups”.
NEXT…change paints. If you
‘re using SW Hotline…it has 67% solid material in it. I don’t use it.
Try SW SET FAST…there are two types…
1) The type that has 57% solids…great paint.
2) The type that has 50% solids…great paint.
Next…make sure the tip is a 17 thousandth = .017″ = a 1708 designation…OR BIGGER…such as a .019 = 1908.
Bottom line…crank the engine…just like you’re going to mow grass…all the way up.
Crank the pressure all the way up.
If it’s still there…”reduce” no more than twice.
If it’s still there…change paints. Try one that is less in solid material.
AND…to make it a little easier to spray through the tip…try a .019 instead of a .017…though it should be fine with the .017.
Get back to me.
How’s that?
