I’m trying to spray Target EM6000 with a Fuji 4-stage HVLP and am hoping someone with the same setup that has done it before can tell me how they set up to do this. I’m having trouble with the surface looking like it has stuff in it when wet and just sprayed. I’m guessing I’m seeing bubbles. If I go for thinner coats, things look dry and grainy. As I try to get wetter it looks better but then the bubbles (if that’s what they are) appear before the dry looking appearance goes away. It’s hot and humid here. I’ve got 5% retarder added to the finish. I’ve tried 10%. The rough plan is to build with gloss and then do a final coat of satin for sheen. On a test piece, the satin seemed to give more problems than the gloss. I’d really like this product to work for me! If someone says they’ve gotten it to work with such and such aircap and with the air turned back X%, I’ll start from there and try again. I’m guessing I need to bring the air volume back but each experiment doesn’t quite get me there. I’ve tried both 1.0 mm and 1.3 mm. |
