This video shows how to use a paint viscosity cup to deliver consistent painting results. It also shows the impact that making a paint thinner (reducing viscosity) has on being able to spray the paint.

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!

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!

Sir , we can measure kinematics or dynamic viscosity of paint

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.

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

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 video. Why not just use water instead of thinner? do you get better results with thinner?

@francoamerica2008 2 жыл бұрын

It would have to be a water based paint to use water. The process is the same for water or thinner based materials.

@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo - actually I went to your site and read the article that goes with this video. But thanks for the response and link! Cheers...

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.
