Nice video guys, I like how you've been inviting other woodworker to your shop Jay to build and or like in this one breaking Down the spraying of finishes. Thanks for the great tips Matt!

@NicholasGomez 8 жыл бұрын

Awesome info Matt and Jay!! One mistake I see often that some make is not keeping there arm/hand 90degrees to the surface they are spraying. In a former life this was hard for me to conquer. I always wanted to tip my hand down or up causing my fan ends to be heavy or leave a line. With practice and patience anyone can spray finish. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!! Great stuff!!

Excellent technique at 7:46. Nozzle turned 45 degrees outward at the end of each pass to angle off and halve the material. This is mandatory for surfaces being overlapped like casing and jamb corners where the paint will make two passes over the same place. Flick the wrist up or sideways just as approaching and passing across the corner area and the second pass, also angled away, will leave a uniform coat, with no need to pull out the roller and fix a puddle that will guaranteed run down.

Another great video. I'm heading to Matt's channel to subscribe. I have a HVLP system I bought used. I've sprayed with it but have fussed a lot with thinning, to the point that I stopped using it.

@beanhole69 8 жыл бұрын

Great video and much appreciated. I am glad to see Matt busting the myth of needing a high-end compressor for HVLP. When researching this awhile back, I found many "elitists" on the internet that would tell newbies they needed a giant expensive compressor with a high CRM rating. That might be true for a large auto-body shop, but as Matt just proved a decent midsize compressor will do just fine for most home shop projects.

@JayBates 8 жыл бұрын

+BeanHole Very true. I got that compressor second hand in 2008. It's far from the top of the line compressors.

@grubbetuchus 7 жыл бұрын

It works like this, whatever gun you will use will determine the minimum specs of your compressor. If your gun needs a certain amount oif CFM to spray as it was designed then you cannot starve the gun for air. Guns need both air pressure and air volume. No, the so-called elitists were not advising you wrong. If you are limited by the size of your compressor then get a gun known for its low CFM useage, like an AOM Asturo. Otherwise don't worry about a coating that's orangepeeled and not too smooth. Or get a 3-stage turbine setup and don't worry about compressors. Your compressor has to have the needed number of horsepower and also you do have to be concerned with tank size. It helps to have one rated for continuous duty, many guns are air hogs.

@IsaacOLEG 7 жыл бұрын

5HP is not mid sized have a look at the catalogs , it is also a Devilbiss possibly double stage pump, not the cheapest but not the kind you find at harbor freight , it is yet professional equipment A compressor that gives you 300 liters min at 7 bar will not give much more at 2 bars, may be 350 liter. I did that mistake to confuse low pressure and low volume at first. Indeed you always can put some spray on wood but forget about the tension of the film and the quality of atomisation(water is very easy to atomize)

@splash5974 6 жыл бұрын

Its not the amount of money for a compressor, but you do need a large tank size... hence high volume, low pressure... If guys are whinning about not affording a large compressor, stop buying HVLP! Go with a conventional style spray gun, or LVLP, which are designed for use with smaller tanked compressors. Its not BS, its just the way it works. Can you spray with a smaller compressor, like in this vid? Sure! But be aware of the added strain on your compressor, which leads to premature failure, and moisture issues which cause so many paint defects, because of the added run time of the compressor. Hot air leads to condensation, which unless you have an air dryer(which if you cant afford a decent compressor, you dont have an air dryer) will cause you headaches by making its way to the gun and on the surface you're spraying. End result, if you want good finishes on larger products, avoid HVLP or purchase a good sized compressor. You own an HVLP and purchase a small compressor, stick to small projects that the gun isnt demanding a large volume of air!

Great video as always Jay. As someone who has a good bit of experience spraying lacquer, I wanted to add my 2 cents. My advice would be not to spray indoors without some sort of booth set-up that exhausts to the outside. Lacquer, in particular, has a very strong smell that you'll be living with if used indoors. Also, though it takes a lot, overspray can start to build up on nearby surfaces. (I can't speak to poly since I wouldn't bother with spraying it)

Very informative and very helpful. I was talking to Tyler G this past week and he sprays his finishes now and swears by it and prefers it over brushes and wiping on finish. All I have is a 6 gallon Porter Cable Compressor. So I'm assuming it wouldn't be big enough to spray finishes. I've tried using a cheap Harbor Freight sandblaster gun and it would only give me about 30-45 seconds of use until the compressor kicked on and the pressure would drop.

@howardludwig9715 8 жыл бұрын

Excellent video and explanation of technique. I hope also that it will encourage more people to give it a try. Two minor critiques though. First, try keeping your arm and wrist fully perpendicular in both axis, avoiding the "fan off" technique. That will even out the finish all the way to the end. Second, try to learn to trigger the gun off as you run off the end, and trigger back on as you enter the part. That both saves finish and helps to reduce overspray in the shop. In a good paint booth with adequate ventilation that's less important, but for those of us that don't have a dedicated booth, it helps a lot. In a previous life, I painted Plexiglas advertising signs, yes you[ve seen them everywhere. In that not only color but paint thickness is incredibly important to maintain even translucency. Technique was paramount.
