  • This video shows how to use a paint viscosity cup to deliver consistent painting results. It also shows the impact that making a paint thinner (reducing viscosity) has on being able to spray the paint.

    Very helpful. I have watched several of your videos now, and you explain things extremely well. Thank you for that.

    19s? I get runs if I'm much under 25 but I'm no pro painter. Thanks for the video - very thorough and appreciate the knowledge!

    20s thought it would run as most paints would with that level of thinning, 30 seconds usually the rule for HVLP I have found, 10% thinner to start with either water-based or oil, then add more as required. No more than 15-20% and your usually good to go!

    Sir , we can measure kinematics or dynamic viscosity of paint

    The paint I’m using says it’s 97-107 KU.. so to spray it with an HVLP 3 stage with 1.8mm/2mm nozzle/cap, how many seconds do you think the flow should be? Using a #4 Ford cup.

    Also pressure at the gun makes an atomization difference. There are different Zahn cups. I use GE #2 and #3.. Originally used by General Electric to measure viscosity of dope, inside step down transformers at different temperatures. That's why I trust GE Zahn Cups accuracy and durability.. The video is fairly good. There are many variables not included. But as a basic understanding, is good. Thank you for posting.

    @Pittsburg - Where's the video on the viscosity cup differences and conversions? Did you make it yet?

      This is a chart that shows differences

    Hi great videos, would you have any recommendations on air assisted airless , viscosity, pressures tip size for oil based enamel thanks

      Artie6937 hi do you have a name of the product? We can probably help

      Dulux super enamel oil based, Wagner air coat

    • @PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo
      @PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo  Před 7 lety

      From what i can tell the aircoat is an air spray gun if thats the case the dulux coating suggests you can thin it a bit more up to 125 ml per litre this should help www.duspec.com.au/pdfs/datasheets/AUDD0028.pdf

    What would you suggest I thin my paint with? I am trying to paint cabinets with Benjamin Moore Advance.

  • @sgtpetegriffin8522
    @sgtpetegriffin8522 Před 5 lety

    great video. Why not just use water instead of thinner? do you get better results with thinner?

    • @francoamerica2008
      @francoamerica2008 Před 2 lety

      It would have to be a water based paint to use water. The process is the same for water or thinner based materials.
