I used my Craftsman HVLP spray gun today #15519 for $99.99. I sprayed Ford NH paint with hardener. To get it to spray, I had the paint volume opened all the way and 60 pounds of air and there still wasn't much paint coming out. I have 3/4' line with 175 lbs. Coming to regulator and filter, from regulator I had 3/8' hose, 25 ft. Long to spray-gun. The paint was thinned like water.
I had to go back to my $20 Harbor-freight spray- gun to get the job done. The Craftsman still had alot of over-spray.
Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be appreciated! Pretty frustrating eh, KC? Your 'over-spray' is more likely bounce-back that you get from too much pressure out the tip. More like a conventional gun.
You always want to use as little pressure as will atomize the paint. 60 pounds is way too much. If you have to use excessive pressure, the gun's asking for thinner paint. Then if you thin the paint too much you get other problems. Zahn cups measure viscosity of the paint if you're in question. Go to an autobody supplier for one. Could be the gun.
Make sure your tip was meant for your product. You might need a larger hole. I have neither of your guns and I don't have a lot of faith in either of your sources, Sears or Harbor Freight. I'm assuming the Sears gun was meant to be used with a standard compressor and not a gun dedicated to be used with a turbine, like mine is. With mine, you'd never get enough air through a 3/8' line. I think mine's 1'. What you're describing, assuming a compressor-type gun, sounds like you'll be taking it back to Sears.
If you've had the correct tip off, took a look, and messed with the adjustments, there's just not a whole lot there. Hi KC, I'm not all that much of an expert but between us I guess I have a little more experience. As I said I don't know your guns. That said, I'd assume the 2.2 to be the larger. We're talking about a difference of.024'. If it's not cast into the nozzle, good luck measuring it.
If you can't get it to spray a pattern with straight thinner, it ain't working, no matter which nozzle. If it will spray, you have a product viscosity problem. When I was looking to replace my standard Binks gun I wanted HVLP. Not that you'd ever spray enough product to pay for the outfit, but you get a much nicer work environment.
If I have to be there, it's that important to me. I'd read several years ago that the compressor HVLP's were a poor compromise for a turbine system. Olympus Bh-2 Instruction Manual on this page. Cambell-Hausfeld now markets a cheap turbine. When I called them and asked if I could get a furniture quality finish, they suggested I not buy their system. Seems like somebody posted here that they were pleased with their results.
Patient and cheap person that I usually am, I waited until I found a used one and pounced. It was marketed by TIP. They now say they produce their own.
Their smallest turbine will only support one gun. Rome Total War Gold Edition Iso Torrent. Not a problem for me. I heat my shop with a wood stove and occasionally will spray a flamable finish with the stove going and no real exhaust fan. I certainly wouldn't recommend this to anyone else and I sure wouldn't do it with a standard compressor gun. Fire and life insurance are paid up. (grin) When I get back to some furniture production I'll get a good fan set up.
You aren't the same KC from the fc list are you?
