Hello all,
While playing around throwing some paint at a couple of foam board airplane builds, I was using my H&S Ultra brush and it seemed that it was clogging up a lot but I can't figure out why. I was using cheap acrylic paint thinned with water to a consistency of milk. It seemed that the paint flow got to be less and less the longer I sprayed but I could point the brush at a scrap of paper and pull the trigger back and forth all the way a few times and it helped but not for long.
I also was thinning the paint in a small plastic cup before pouring it into the paint cup as well. I am running about 15 lbs. of air pressure too. The H&S Ultra's air cap makes it impossible to clean the nozzle while spraying unless the paint cup is empty.
So, I need to hear the wisdom of the community to point me in the right direction. Thanks!
