IDEAL VISCOSITY

This gun can be used with products having a
viscosity ranging from 10 to a maximum of 60
seconds. Dip the viscosity cup into the material and
fill up. Time how long it takes for the viscosity cup to
empty (Fig.1).
Using the above chart (or manufacturer’s
instructions) as a guide determine if the material
requires further thinning, if so then thin accordingly.
