What happens here

The presenter begins by discussing the fundamental differences and learning curve associated with spraying items hung vertically versus those laid horizontally. He notes that spraying vertically requires adjustments in technique and tip size, particularly with airless sprayers, to prevent paint runs and sags. He mentions that he previously used 310 tips with airless sprayers but had to reduce to a 206 tip size when spraying 2K polyurethanes vertically to manage product flow and avoid imperfections. This foundational understanding sets the stage for why he transitioned to HVLP systems.

Goal: Understand the differences and learning curve for vertical spraying and the general advantages of HVLP over airless systems.

So, in this lesson, I'm going to be talking about, you know, the spraying system that I use coupled with my PSDR system. So, there's going to be a lot of different options. You know, if you purchase this system, you're going to be spraying up. And, you know, if you've never sprayed hanging up and you've you're accustomed to spraying, you know, horizontal. There is some differences. There is a learning curve to it. You can't spray as much material hanging as you can vertical uh because of the possibility of runs and sags. You probably have to change some things if you're using an hair sprayer tip size. I, you know, typically, you know, was accustomed to spraying using 310 tips. I started, you know, messing around with this system 2K poly's and how to jump down to tip size down uh tip sizes down to like a 206 to uh keep from product from actually running spraying vertically. Uh I've eventually adopted
