    Do you remember your thinning ratio and your preferred thinner. Did the airless spray well or was it splotchy, Do you remember the nozzle size of the airless sprayer. Also how much overspray did you have to deal with? Any tips are always helpful to all considering these experimental processes.

    no need to thin with an airless also a good airless sprayer is never blotchy if it is you need to stop and figure out what your doing wrong. tip size will be anywhere from 309 to 311 could use a 411 also but you will have overspray then. Is really easy and fun to experiment. good luck

    I went to his seminar at Oshkosh and was surprized at the shine in his finish. We talked briefly about our differences in method but unfortunately did not have the time I would have liked. Malcom does some great things with latex.
