What happens here
It's common for paint to dry and clog the tip of a spray gun, such as the Apollo 7700 atomizer gun, especially during breaks. To prevent this frustrating issue, you can use a stick of chapstick or lip balm. Begin by rubbing your finger onto the chapstick to get a small amount of the balm on your fingertip. Then, transfer this balm by rubbing your finger directly onto the nozzle tip of the spray gun. Ensure the entire tip, where paint could dry, is covered with a thin layer of the lip balm. This creates a non-stick surface, preventing paint from drying and adhering to the tip, thereby avoiding clogs when you resume spraying.
Goal: Prevent paint from drying and clogging the spray gun tip.
