Test Paint Viscosity

done stirring this in so i'm just going to put my lid back on and then i'm going to let it set for about a half hour stir it again and i can check my viscosity if you've never checked the viscosity of paint before you know when it comes to cabinet coatings there's especially spraying through an airless sprayer there are certain viscosities you're actually searching for i've got a video on um how to actually check viscosities of paint and stuff and um pretty in depth but i'm going to give you just a little look at checking the viscosity i've got multiple viscosity yo testers right here a sata cup ford ford cup a really cheap cup here's a zone viscosity uh meter right here this is actually a really nice one with a long handle on it i really like that one a lot um very professional looking viscosity meter but even these cheap ones can test your viscosity and the simple way to test viscosity is i'm gonna dip this thing into my product i'm gonna rise it out the product's gonna begin spilling out of your viscosity meter and you're gonna time it it's gonna be just pouring out and you're gonna you're gonna have a start a stop watch some type of way you can you know run your time stop watch use your iphone something like that when i rise it out i'm going to start my time it'll start pulling out it's going to have a steady stream as soon as that stream breaks i'm going to hit the stopwatch and that time is going to be the reading and now you're um there's a lot of different readings and of variations in those readings that you want to use to chart out things and get the proper viscosity that you want but just a look at it what it looks like here or go check out my video in depth on testing viscosity so i'm just going to fill up this is a ford four cup right here i'm going to have my timer just going to raise it up click my timer i'm going to allow this to start running steady stream you can see it's got a steady stream so this is a fairly thick product and it's just going to continue rotting continue running and this is going to run for a long time almost there now the stream starting to break now right well right there we go so now the stream's starting to break and that's going to be my viscosity i'm going to register that time that's my viscosity and typically what i'm looking for in catacody is when i'm spraying through an hvlp sprayer i'm looking for 34 seconds i want something that's going to run and i want that stream to break at around 34 seconds and that's…
