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

What happens here

Locate the fan pattern control knob on your spray gun. This knob typically adjusts the shape of the spray, changing it from a narrow, circular pattern to a wide, elliptical fan, or vice-versa. As shown in the video, turn this knob slightly and then conduct another test spray on the plastic sheeting. Observe how the shape and width of the 'S' patterns change. Continue adjusting and testing until you achieve a fan pattern suitable for your application.

Goal: Control the width and shape of the spray fan
