Were there problems with the finish?

If not, you used an appropriate tip.


I think even if there are no problems, that wouldn't be an indicator
that a better tip might yield better results.


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.


Thanks.


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


HTFSIK? :-)
