Hey everybody! So, I'm having a whole lot of trouble spraying GF enduro clear poly, and was wondering if some of the experts on here could advise.
What I have : Fuji mini mite 5 stage with needles 1.0 , 1.3 and 1.8. I'm measuring 24 seconds for the enduro clear poly out of my ford cup that was included with my sprayer (#4)? Which leads me to use the enduro unthinned with a 1.3 needle.
Project specs. Spraying 8 foot tables. Prep was sanding to 180 grit followed by water carried transtint dye sprayed with my hvlp.
Secific question is, am I supposed to see a blue haze with this stuff? Or am I spraying it too thick? I have 3 options and none seem quite right
1) I spray it so that there is no blue haze, it feels like it's going on so light that it's getting gritty? I can see individual droplets and they don't seem to flow out or coalesce. .
2) I spray with a medium build, my overlapping areas have this blue haze, and inbetween the overlapping runs is clear. This essentially Leaves stripes of blue.
3) I spray it thick, everything goes blue, but it just takes long to dry and feels wrong. Also, it's lifting water based dyes and ruining The dye job.
Any help?! Should I switch to the high performance? Or can you teach an amateur hvlp'r?
