NOTICE:
• Weather conditions can cause unsatisfactory results when spraying some coatings.
• High humidity prolongs set, and cure times.
• High temperatures decrease set, and cure times.
• Cold temperatures extend set, and cure times.
• Variations in temperature, and humidity can cause variations in finish quality.
• Coating manufacturers can recommend additives to resolve some of these problems, and should be contacted for
assistance with particular problem resolutions.
Possible Cause(s)
1. Material too thick
2. Wrong nee dle/nozzle assembly
3. Cup seal leak ing

5. Material not properly mixed, or
im prop er ly filtered
1. Material buildup on nozzle or air cap
2. Worn noz zle/needle
3. Clogged air cap
4. Material not properly mixed, or
im prop er ly filtered
1. Clogged filter
1. Clogged filter
2. Air flow con trol improperly ad just ed
1. Im prop er ma te ri al flow adjustment
2. Cup seal leak ing
3. Wrong nee dle/nozzle
Possible Cause(s)
