The key to off-the-gun surfaces with WBs is atomization. A decent spray setup pays for itself over time - if not $$, then in headaches. But if all possible, invest in as good a system as you can afford. I know one must balance $$, quality, etc. As another side note, you'll get much better results from WB coatings going LP. I strongly suspect some states will disallow HVLP in the fairly near future. If woodworkers are going to invest in a spray setup, look into LVLP, RP, etc. Also note, HVLP as the dinosaurs right before the asteroid hits - HVLP is already extinct, but just doesn't know it yet. Things change when you get into LVLP, RP, Ariless, etc. So the good news is that it can be done.Īnd where there's good news, there's also not-so-good news. It's a good product and lays-out well - it's not a great product, but a good one. I'll try to provide some feedback, but it may be of limited value since I don't use a 5500.įirst off, I've shot GF-EV. LumberJocks has several long threads on the 5500 an if memory serves, shooting GF-EV with the 5500. Your best bet is to get feedback directly from Earlux5500 users - hopefully ones who shoot GF-EV. After that, the rest is just fruit of the poisonous tree. I know that i should hold the gun slightly lower, but Do i need more/less liquid coming out the gun?
#Will clear coat cover orange peel full#
i have a 1.5mm nozzle and the screw opened 2 full turns.
I think that i was holding it 8-10” from the table top. I read on a car finish blog where every says add a few more layers of finish before sanding smooth, but this isn't the same i suspect.Ĭould use advice on the peel of course as well. I know Enduro Var is very good at self leveling, but before I try a 2nd coat, should I sand it all the way smooth or will it just fill in the low spots itself? I have dye stain under the coat, so very hesitant to go too far. I have sanded this orange peel down a bit with 320 paper and wonder how far to go? In some spots, it seems i have gotten it completely smooth, but in most of the table, i have just sanded off the tops of the peel – i can see shinny low spots between each peak which didn’t get the sand paper. I now have orange peel after a complete dry. Yesterday, I applied my first ever coat of spray finish via the Earlux 5500 to the 6’x3’ table top. Highly leveraging the advice on this forum, i successfully applied my blotch control and dye (many thanks - debrief later when its all said and done).
