20s thought it would run as most paints would with that level of thinning, 30 seconds usually the rule for HVLP I have found, 10% thinner to start with either water-based or oil, then add more as required. No more than 15-20% and your usually good to go!
@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo - actually I went to your site and read the article that goes with this video. But thanks for the response and link! Cheers...
The paint I’m using says it’s 97-107 KU.. so to spray it with an HVLP 3 stage with 1.8mm/2mm nozzle/cap, how many seconds do you think the flow should be? Using a #4 Ford cup.
From what i can tell the aircoat is an air spray gun if thats the case the dulux coating suggests you can thin it a bit more up to 125 ml per litre this should help www.duspec.com.au/pdfs/datasheets/AUDD0028.pdf
Also pressure at the gun makes an atomization difference. There are different Zahn cups. I use GE #2 and #3.. Originally used by General Electric to measure viscosity of dope, inside step down transformers at different temperatures. That's why I trust GE Zahn Cups accuracy and durability.. The video is fairly good. There are many variables not included. But as a basic understanding, is good. Thank you for posting.
Very helpful. I have watched several of your videos now, and you explain things extremely well. Thank you for that.
Sir , we can measure kinematics or dynamic viscosity of paint
Best viscosity vid ever! Thanks man

19s? I get runs if I'm much under 25 but I'm no pro painter. Thanks for the video - very thorough and appreciate the knowledge!
@Pittsburg - Where's the video on the viscosity cup differences and conversions? Did you make it yet?
This is a chart that shows differences

What would you suggest I thin my paint with? I am trying to paint cabinets with Benjamin Moore Advance.
A small amount of water its water based
Great info. Thanks for the education. Will be looking forward to the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it if you have any videos you would be interested in please let us know
Great demo !!! thanks a lot
Hi great videos, would you have any recommendations on air assisted airless , viscosity, pressures tip size for oil based enamel thanks
Artie6937 hi do you have a name of the product? We can probably help
Dulux super enamel oil based, Wagner air coat
From what i can tell the aircoat is an air spray gun if thats the case the dulux coating suggests you can thin it a bit more up to 125 ml per litre this should help www.duspec.com.au/pdfs/datasheets/AUDD0028.pdf
It's a air assisted airless
Thanks to great ideas
great video. Why not just use water instead of thinner? do you get better results with thinner?
It would have to be a water based paint to use water. The process is the same for water or thinner based materials.
20 scond best or not?
More info please
