Start

Before you begin:

Before spraying, the material being used may

need to be thinned with the proper solvent as

specified by the material manufacturer. Never

exceed the thinning advice given by the coating

manufacturer.

Do not use materials with a

flashpoint below 70°F (21°C).

Material to be sprayed should always

be strained to remove any impurities in

the paint which may enter and clog the

system. Impurities in the paint will give poor

performance and a poor finish.

1. Stir the spraying material

thoroughly before

measuring viscosity.

4. Unscrew the cup from the spray

gun.

5. After the material has been

properly thinned and strained,

fill the container to the top of the

neck.

6. Carefully screw the cup back

onto the spray gun.

2. Dip the viscosity test

cup completely into the

spraying material.

3. Hold the test cup up and measure the time in

seconds until the liquid empties out. This time is

referred to as Runout Time.
