Hi Fellow painters Do you know what the mix would be with masonary paint? and thinners? See i used leyland paint and the wagner pro 119 kept clogging ive a new job this week and wanted any good avdice? cheers
I reckon you will struggle with that sprayer, BUT something like the Wagner Spraytech W590 can apparantly spray masonry. Using my Apollo HVLP sprayer, I need to used a larger needle/tip,otherwise it clogs up, when trying to spray masonry paint.
anymore thoughts? The one you mention is £150 mine was £899 so should do it, i used it before but stuggled sometimes so though water it down a bit?
Thanks Kiab After your good advice mate looked on google n ebay so going to get a new tip, thanks again to the helpers
Seldom spray masonry, but would I usually dilute 1 part water to 5 parts masonry paint, but it can vary, depend on brands, some is thicker, some thinner.
Sadly yes, for lower viscosity finishes its a small orfice, thick viscosity a larger orfice for spraying. But,I don't use tips,etc,so many colours tips available, depending what your spraying & pattern width needed, I can just about remember the needles for my apollo & it's only 4. http://www.hvlpshop.co.uk/Item/apollo_spray_setups
General rule of thumb to check sprayability mix the paint with paint mixer then lift it out if it flows off of the mixer should be ok for spraying otherwise dilute by 10% (100mil per litre) mix well check again if still no good continue diluting in 100ml increments
