If your Vaper Paint Sprayer exhibits excessive overspray, it might be due to the gun being too far from the work surface; in this case, adjust to the proper distance. Alternatively, improper stroking (arcing, or gun motion too fast) could be the cause. Try to move at a moderate pace, parallel to the work surface.
Why does my Vaper 19220 Paint Sprayer have a split spray pattern?
If your Vaper Paint Sprayer has a split spray pattern, it could be caused by atomization air pressure that is too high. Reduce it at the regulator or gun. Another possible cause is fluid pressure that is too low (pressure feed only), so increase the fluid pressure (this increases gun handling speed). The spreader adjusting valve might also be set too high, so adjust it.
Why does my Vaper Paint Sprayer have a heavy center pattern?
If your Vaper Paint Sprayer has a heavy center pattern, it could be due to fluid pressure being too high for atomization air (pressure feed). Balance the air and fluid pressure. Another cause could be that the material flow exceeds the air cap's capacity, so increase the spray pattern width with the spreader adjustment valve. The spreader adjustment valve might also be set too low, so adjust it. Finally, the material might be too thick, so thin it or lower the fluid flow.
Why does my Vaper Paint Sprayer leave a thin, sandy coarse finish drying before it flows out?
If your Vaper Paint Sprayer is producing a thin, sandy, coarse finish that dries before it flows out, it could be because the gun is too close to the surface. Check the distance, normally about 8 inches. Also, too much air pressure can cause this, so reduce the pressure and check the spray pattern. Finally, an improper thinner might be used, so follow the paint manufacturer’s mixing instructions.
Why does my Vaper Paint Sprayer have a starved spray pattern?
If your Vaper Paint Sprayer has a starved spray pattern, it might be caused by inadequate material flow. Back the fluid adjusting screw out to the first thread or increase the fluid pressure at the tank. Another potential cause is low atomization air pressure (suction feed), so increase the air pressure and rebalance the gun. Too much atomization air pressure can also cause this, so reduce the pressure.
Why is fluid leaking from the packing nut of my Vaper 19220 Paint Sprayer?
If the Vaper Paint Sprayer is leaking fluid from the packing nut, it might be that the packing nut is loose. Tighten it, but do not bind the needle. Alternatively, the packing could be worn or dry, so replace or lubricate it.
Why does my Vaper 19220 produce excessive fog?
If your Vaper Paint Sprayer exhibits excessive fog, it may be due to too much, or too fast-drying thinner. Remix properly. Also, too much atomization air pressure can cause this, so reduce the pressure.
Why is my Vaper 19220 producing a dry spray?
If your Vaper Paint Sprayer is producing a dry spray, it could be due to several reasons. The air pressure might be too high, so reduce it. The gun tip might be too far from the work surface; adjust to the proper distance. Also, the gun motion might be too fast, so slow down. Finally, the gun might be out of adjustment, so adjust it.
Why does my Vaper 19220 Paint Sprayer produce runs and sags?
If the Vaper Paint Sprayer produces runs and sags, it could be due to too much material flow. Adjust the gun to reduce fluid pressure. Also, the material might be too thin, so mix it properly or apply light coats. Another cause could be that the gun is tilted on an angle, or the gun motion is too slow. Hold the gun at a right angle to the work and adapt a proper gun technique.
Why does my Vaper Paint Sprayer leave a thick, dimpled finish 'orange peel'?
If your Vaper Paint Sprayer produces a thick, dimpled finish, resembling 'orange peel,' several factors could be at play. The gun might be too close to the surface; check the distance, which should normally be about 8 inches. Another possibility is that too much material is coarsely atomized; in this case, increase air pressure or reduce fluid pressure. Also, low air pressure can cause this, so increase air pressure or reduce fluid pressure. Other causes include using an improper thinner (follow the paint manufacturer’s mixing instructions), material not properly mixed (follow paint manufacturer’s instructions), or a surface that is rough, oily, or dirty (properly clean and prepare the surface).
