Yep, transition fittings are a pain! I’ve been responsible for million dollar industrial paint systems and the installation always comes down to that “one” fitting. You know, the one that’s not on the job site... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

You don’t specify what guns you’ll use, so we can’t give you a simple answer. It depends on the atomizing technology, specific air cap and inlet pressure. A small HVLP air cap at 10 psi will need about 6.4 CFM. So yes, so long as the CFM usage adds up to less than the CFM output of your...

Needle/tip size has more to do with Flow Rate than viscosity. Select your smaller 1.3mm tip/needle combination for smaller parts or cut in's, and conversely, the larger 1.3 for larger areas. As already stated, use the minimum amount of reduction as possible, and yet still achieve good...

Hi Garage Journal devotes. This is my very first posting...I needed a small project to figure out the IT side of this posting thing. My wireless conversion of the fertilizer spreader was the perfect first post. I promise I'll post my garage build next once I organize my photos and figure out a...

So SK, I've got to ask, is that a home brew snow making machine in your profile picture? What are you using the snow for? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hi Wes, I've traveled with tools for over thirty years. The airlines are ruthless! They'd eat that HF box for lunch. Check out Pelican for a box that will play their game and win. Here's a link for something that might work for you...
