Fine-Tuning and Final Optimization
At 0:11 in
The control you have with an Apollo Atomizer -Gun- #tooltest
What happens here
After adjusting the fan pattern and fluid flow, continue to make small, iterative adjustments to both knobs, testing the spray after each change. Pay attention to how the 'S' shapes or other test patterns appear on the plastic sheeting. The video demonstrates this fine-tuning, resulting in consistently formed and evenly distributed patterns. Ideally, you should achieve a soft, feathered edge on the spray pattern and uniform coverage of the material without heavy spots or dry areas. You may also need to adjust the air pressure regulator on your compressor or at the gun for optimal atomization, though this is not explicitly shown.
Goal: Achieve a balanced and consistent spray pattern
