However, I sort of just guessed at what tip to use and I don't know if
it was the best choice.


Were there problems with the finish?

If not, you used an appropriate tip.

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.

How thick a film are you laying down? 3-5 mil?
