There is a painting project going on at our house, something I detest having no feel for the art. To help things along, my wife bought a Wagner air sprayer. As the engineering type around here, I was intrigued. I now find that there are different types of sprayers, airless, air, and High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) devices. Ours is a HVLP, comprising a spray head with a paint tank, and a 'turbine' which operates like an industrial strength hair drier when you turn the control to max.
I have a couple of questions that the Web seems ignorant about.
- Can I thin primer for spraying? Tried using it raw and it came out lumpy.
- Other than pushing up drying time, is there any major problem if you over-thin the top coat?
