HVLP: What Tips to Use for Shellac? Karl, Leon?
I got the HVLP sprayer from HF, same one as Rockler.
I used it to spray some Zinsser BIN and it came out pretty good. However, I sort of just guessed at what tip to use and I don't know if it was the best choice. So, to you guys who HVLP a lot... before I google myself to death, what tips are for what? The Rockler manual says .9mm for latex and 1.8mm for oils. The HF version says it comes with 1.0mm, 1.5 and 1.8, and there are three different tips holes increasing in size. I assume you use the corresponding hole sized tip for different needles. The BIN instructions only talk about an airless sprayer. The guy at Zinsser said they recommend .05"-.07" (1.3-1.8mm) for HVLP for all their "paints." He knew I was asking about BIN, so I'm assuming that's also for the BIN. Is that correct. BIN is pretty darn thin. -- -MIKE- "Playing is not something I do at night, it's my function in life" --Elvin Jones (1927-2004) -- http://mikedrums.com ---remove "DOT" ^^^^ to reply |

I generally spray a 1 1/2# cut (with a 2mm needle), and use either 99% isopropyl alcohol or denatured alcohol, depending upon the temperature/humidity. On hot, high humidity days here on the Gulf Coast I find 99% isopropyl is less prone to blush. That said, experimenting is the only way to getting the best results with any particular setup. -- eWoodShop: www.eWoodShop.com Wood Shop: www.e-WoodShop.net https://plus.google.com/114902129577517371552/posts KarlCaillouet@ (the obvious) |

Only reason it isn't 200 proof is that as soon as it is exposed to air, it sucks water vapor out of the air. BTW, 195 proof moonshine makes a dyn-O-mite martini. Lew |

Temperature, humidity, and thickness of application may have as much to do with your finish as anything, but fine tuning your tip for actual use is just as important. You can spray with the wrong tip (say the 2mm for lacquer) and get away with it. Likewise, you can shoot a low color saturated latex with a 1.2 tip and get away with it if you thin enough. I have 1, 1.5 and 2.0 mm needles and tips for my Apollo HVLP. With a .5 - 2 lb cut of shellac I would probably start with the 1.5 tip. If it were me, and sometimes it is, I would hit that 2# shellac one more time and cut it about 20 - 25% depending on the weather. The hotter, the less I would thin. I prefer a smaller tip and use a 1.2 mm on my gun, but doubtful you would find any difference. I like to shoot it thin, just thick enough to hang onto a vertical surface. The finer tip will put out a finer finish. As for BIN, I shoot that unthinned out of my gun with a 1.5 tip, and have shot it with my 1.2 tip as well. A call to Zinsser revealed that they put in some kind of agents that make it more viscous in the application than homemade shellac, and they told me that it was formulated with the knowledge and intent that it would be gun applied. It is one of the few materials I just pour in the gun and shoot. How thick a film are you laying down? 3-5 mil? HTFSIK? * *:-) It's easy. The preferred application thickness for almost all top coat clear (including shellac) materials sprayed is 3 mil. Odd, but it holds true for just about anything I have ever seen. You can apply more if you want, but 3 mil is the standard. So what does 3 mil look like? Pull out a dollar bill and check out its thickness.... right at three mil. So spray some finish on a test board, take a razor blade and cleanly scrape away a side so you can see a profile and compare it to your dollar. Personally, I have never even used a gauge. You can shoot most latex finishes thicker, and certainly 5 mil is within that range. For that, I use my 2 mil tip, and during our hot summers I shoot that unthinned. For more moderate weather, say the 70s, I thin latex about 20%, then shoot it with my 1.8 mil tip. Even though you don't have to thin latex with a 4 stage turbine or a CAS gun, it works better for getting a finer finish. Robert |

Obviously, you could unscrew the fitting from the gun and put another in its place. Possibly you'd prefer an oil trap/air dryer with the matching output, fit with hoses that never are used on raw compressed air, for the "better finish experience".

Obviously, you could unscrew the fitting from the gun and put another in its place. Possibly you'd prefer an oil trap/air dryer with the matching output, fit with hoses that never are used on raw compressed air, for the "better finish experience". That's the point. I want to unscrew the fitting from other guns and fit one like this (this is the one on the system). This outfit has a selection https://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-quick-disconnect-hose-couplings I'll look more closely but I didn't see anything when I looked a while back. Who knew that there were so many incompatible connectors? |

I found the quick connect connectors. Who wudda thunk they'd be garden hose connectors. Now all I need is to do is play in HD for a while to come up with a reasonable adapter from a hose thread to 1/4" NPT. |

I'd be willing to disect it and give you an idea of what to look for. (Although, if I recall it was a single trip to the store deal so it wasn't that hard.) I was using mine to clear the water in the garden hose so I could leave it outside when the weather was below freezing, but found I was better off with a rapid reel hose reel that let me bring the hose inside the garage.

I went to the Borg today and figured out a couple of ways of doing it. It depends on how awkward the thing is, which way I go. I was using mine to clear the water in the garden hose so I could leave it outside when the weather was below freezing, but found I was better off with a rapid reel hose reel that let me bring the hose inside the garage. I just let mine drain as I "roll" it up for the last time each season. I'm sure there is still water in it but it doesn't stay out anyway (one hibernates in the garage, the other in the basement). |
