a paint strainer or a piece of cheesecloth.
4. Fill the Cup to 3/4 full. Close Cup.
5. Start the air compressor and set
the regulator to needed pressure.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure.
6. Test the consistency by spraying
on a piece of scrap material.
If it still appears too thick, add a very small amount
of thinner (not included)and mix thoroughly.
Use the proper thinner for the type of paint.
Thin CAUTIOUSLY. Proceed slowly, adding
minimal amounts at a time. DO NOT exceed the
manufacturer’s thinning recommendations.
