I use hot water right from the tap in the kitchen sink and have never had an issue with cleaning my gun(s). I only use waterborne finishes and that very occasionally occasionally includes "house paint" type products. If it's taking a lot longer there must be something unique about your gun. Remove the nozzle and needle, flush the internals again, brush out the internals with soapy water and flush, clean the inside of the nozzle with a brush and soapy water and flush, wipe the needle clean, and reassemble. I wasn't kidding when I said it's a 5 - 10 minute job. If you open the needle wide open water will flush out most of the paint inside the gun before you disassemble it. I clean my gun only at the end of the day. What do people use for tip size to spray latex? It looks like the tips for my T70 gun go up to 2.5, but I never considered buying any that large. He specifically states that Floetrol is an additive, not a thinner, though the caption for Floetrol calls it one of the popular thinners. On Phelps Refinishing site, their recommendations with the Fuji guns to spray latex are:Ģ) Thin the paint upwards of 20% with water.Ĥ) Add the 6-ft whip hose to reduce air temperature through the gun.ĥ) Hold the gun no more than 8″ (20cm) away.ħ.) Turn the fluid adjusting screw to limit the paint to a finer spray. SW website for the paint says reduction not required. I may try 4 oz of Floetrol in a quart of paint. Off to the workshop to measure the viscosity, and try to dilute it somewhat. I think it did level off somewhat, but I would never accept that initial spray on a typical project I do. It's a one-off project, so doesn't make sense to buy airless for it. I'm not suggesting that it's the right product for your needs, only that some products are better suited to airless sprayers while others can be successfully sprayed with a broader range of spray gun types. I still had to thin it 10% for good atomization but after that it was great. It's a completely different product and much better suited to HVLP guns. I switched to Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel and it was a world of difference sprays and flows out beautifully. If the Super Paint you are using is anything like that you probably won't be successful either unless you use an airless sprayer. I once sprayed SW's Emerald Exterior Acrylic latex and could not get it flow out no matter what I did. If you have to add more than 10% water to do that I would look for a different product. You'll likely need to get it down to less than 1/2 of that in order for it to spray well. I suspect it will be really high like 500 seconds (if you can wait that long) through a #4 Ford cup. ![]()
