Thread: Thinning lacquer for HVLP

If it written it doesn,t need thinning, then you may don,t need to.

You better try to spray it and see the result. If you fell the lacquer is too thick then you can add some lacquer thinner to thin it.
If you have viscometer you can measure the viscosity and check with viscosity that work with your hvlp spray gun.
The hvlp gun is work for low viscosity material.
it work for the viscosity material less then 14 second ( measured with NK 2 cup)

I have used Durasilk and found it to be excellent. I thinned the sealer (Sovereign Sealer) and the Durasilk by 10% and seemed to work well.

Everything I've put through my Wagner HVLP set up, has gone on better after thinning

Thanks all for info, got side tracked so a late reply.

I tried without thinning and it was too thick, so in the end thinned down to about 10-15% and it coated pretty well.

Cheers
