Why is my WAGNER Paint Sprayer spray pattern too thick?

A spray pattern that is too thick, which results in runs and sags, may be due to several factors. The material flow setting might be too high, so try decreasing it. You may also be applying too much material; adjust the material flow or increase the speed at which you move the spray gun. Other potential causes include a clogged nozzle, which requires cleaning, a clogged air filter, which requires changing, insufficient pressure build-up in the container, which means you should tighten the container, or spray material that is too thick, which requires thinning.
