Is this a method of spraying lacquer that would work well with Ukuleles??
High Volume Low Pressure....
It sounded really close to a vacuum cleaner and the hose that hooked up to the spray gun looked like a vacuum hose.
I spoke with a guy I know that rebuilds tube am radios...
The old ones with the wooden cabinets from the 30s and 40s..
He was spraying lacquer on one of those "tombstone" style radio cabinets in his garage and the days temp was probably 53 degrees Fahrenheit at the most.. Overcast skies.. I asked him if he had good success with spraying in those kind of conditions and he said because of the delivery method it worked great... Also he said that when he used to use his regular air compressor he would over whelm his garage with the spray.. it would get everywhere.. With the HVLP system its not a problem and he doesnt have to worry about the over spray as much.
In my limited experience Ive always used Nitro from a can.. and last year had horrible results once the temps started dipping..
He said the HVLP system gave him a super fine mist and he didnt have any issues with spitting..... Anyway.. I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with that method of application???
Thanks for any comments..
