OK, so I'm very seriously considering buying an HVLP turbine (Earlex 5000) and was hoping someone could help me make sure I'm not making a mistake. I live in North Carolina, and it is fairly hot and humid a lot of the time. I work out of my unheated, uninsulated garage. I can finish in there, or in the driveway, but either way there's no way to escape the heat for much of the year.
Will it be a mistake to start spraying water based stuff in this environment?
Also, as a corollary - if I put on some oil and shellac for color before doing the water-based, am I gaining anything here? Is it too dangerous for me to spray shellac?
My goal in all this is to make finishing easier and quicker. I am really not good at it, don't enjoy it too much, and don't have a lot of time to devote to getting better. I'm willing to do what's necessary, but am looking for a shortcut and am hoping spraying will be that for me. Thanks for any advice!
