What happens here

When spraying thick elastomeric products, it's essential to adjust the filters in your airless spray gun and machine. Replace the typically finer 100-mesh filters with coarser 30-mesh filters. Using filters that are too fine for thick paint will cause frequent clogging and hinder the smooth flow of the product, leading to an inconsistent finish and potential equipment issues. Ensuring the correct filter mesh allows the thick material to pass through efficiently.

Goal: Optimize sprayer performance and prevent clogging by using appropriate filters for thick paint.

Also, one thing to keep in mind when you're actually spraying this extremely thick product, it's like it's super super thick. Kind of like the product we use, Steel Bond or Prime RX, and you got to use a a really large tip to spray it. But you also got to change out your filters on your gun or your your machine. We change our gun filters out to a 30 mesh filter. We typically run 100 mesh filters in our guns, but you're going to have a real problem with that thick product going through those filters. So, make sure you change out your your gun filters.
