CAUSE

REMEDY
A Material not thinned out sufficiently. Add the correct amount of solvent by measure.
B Failure to deposit a wet coat. Check solvent. Use correct spread and overlap of stroke.
C Spray gun stroke too rapid. Take deliberate, slow stroke.
D Insufficient air pressure. Increase atomizing pressure or reduce fluid pressure.
E Using wrong air cap. Select correct air cap for the material and feed.
F Spray gun too far from the surface. Stroke the spray gun 6 to 10 inches from surface.
G Spray gun too close to surface. Spray gun should be worked 6 to 10 inches from surface.
H Overspray striking a previously sprayed surface. Spray detail parts first and end with wet coat. Hold spray gun so over spray hits unsprayed work.
I Poor thinner, too hot. Use better grade of thinner for material or add retarder to allow flow-out.
J Material not thoroughly dissolved. Mix material thoroughly.
K Drafts. Eliminate excessive drafts.
L Humidity too low. Raise humidity of room.
