Question, I need to spray small stenciled images aprox.
1×3 inches repeated 100 plus times. can I control the
volume of paint and spray pressure, to limit blow buy
on the stencil ? Thanks for your response
Kim, the ProShot Fine Finish would not be very good for this task. It is too powerful and would not deliver the type of small fan pattern you are seeking. There are hvlp units that can shoot a small circle pattern at very low pressure that would be ideal.
Thankyou, I’ll save purchase of it for some
other project. Kim
Can you use this to spray Latex Paint?
Absolutely
Does the Latex need to be thinned? If so, do you have a suggestion of what to use and how much?
Some of that will depend on your technique, accuracy and comfort level with the gun. It will depend on the product as well. In general, I would say its not necessary to thin, but there are times (based on the variables above) where its not a bad idea. You could thin with water. In the gun (quart) cup, start conservative, like less than the size of a shot glass.
