The control you have with an Apollo Atomizer -Gun- #tooltest

What happens here

Identify the fluid flow control knob, typically found at the back of the spray gun's handle. This knob controls the amount of material (paint) that is released through the nozzle. Turn the knob to either increase or decrease the fluid flow. As demonstrated, adjust it and then perform another spray test, observing the thickness and consistency of the 'S' shapes. If the spray is too light, increase the flow; if it's too heavy or causing runs, decrease it. The goal is a uniform wet coat without excessive material or dry spray.

Goal: Control the volume of material being sprayed
