okay so Dwayne James says when painting cabinets what's the best use hclp sprayer or airless and I know you've used full I I have I've used both so you know one of the things um hvlps were you know why really common these cops are common in the automotive industry um and in painting cabinets and and here's um the big difference when um painting cabinets and I use really expensive Coatings that I'm catalyzing and so um 2K polies and so like if I was spraying um Renner 851 and catalyzing it that's really expensive you're getting over to a hundred dollars a gallon so you want to make sure all that product actually gets on your cabinets and not on the floor or out the the vent of your spray booth and the transfer rate of your product on an aglp sprayer is a lot greater than um than a in the airless sprayer and in one of the reasons why is you can quickly change your spray pattern like when you're spraying the side of a cabinet door you're doing the faces but then you got to do all four edges there's no airless tip that's um just that why it's you know at least three inches to four inches wide so you're using a ton of product that is not hitting that edge it's falling to the floor as overspray and I'm eventually getting sucked out of your booth if I spray in a booth so an Apollo um 77 atomizer gun you just dial it down and do your edges really small you get a good transfer rate even on the face of the cabinet cabinets you're using a lot low a lot lower pressure like I I'm running at 4.5 PSI when I spray cabinets with a 2K poly I'm usually around 1800 like 1600 PSI I mean that's that's a lot of pressure so you're atomizing a lot of paint putting a lot of um like so look at dust and stuff in the air and stuff like that through that atomization process so you get a lot more dry dust Fallout you know within airless sprayer and a lot um less paint transfer to your substrate so if you're using expensive Coatings uh HVLP sprayers gonna save you a lot of money and the cleanup is when you're inside the house doing the face frames a lot less dust on the floor a lot less dust in the air using an um an air express so somebody just hopped on um oh John says can use with two guns with a Y splitter John Durock wow right before he um boarded the plane to Thailand so yes I appreciate that John yeah so that was some good information that's something I never knew so a wise glitter do you have a wife splitter available at paint life Supply Co no because I never even knew it…
