Default Orange Peel

Mike, while you are here....

Can't orange peel also be caused by water/moisture in the spray system?


I only spray shellac, but orange peel happens with shellac most often when
the mist starts to dry before, or as it hits, the surface.

IME, and on those dry days, you can usually minimize orange peel with
shellac by spraying closer, and thinning it a bit more.

What's maddening is, depending upon the temperature and relative humidity,
on one day a higher grade, anhydrous alcohol instead of the BORG's standard
"denatured", will minimize orange peel, while on another day it will make it
worse.

..... sometimes it's brush time.
