  • Harbor Freight 20 oz. Professional HVLP gravity feed air spray gun review spraying Minwax polyurethane onto wood furniture. one mistake I made is to dilute the polyurethane after talking with the manufacturers you're not supposed to dilute it with anything just use it straight it works fine.

    And... where can you buy additional tips for this gun? I've looked at the manual and Harbor Freight's site and don't see where you can order tips for it.

    Looks great! I wanted to spray a guitar I'm building this way rather than using spray paint cans. Couple of questions. I will use my Harbor Freight compressor. I will need to get an air filter, yes? Does the sprayer spray at all angles, because I will have to spray the guitar at all different angles. Looks pretty basic and easier to hold and maneuver. Thanks!

    Can you tell me what size compressor you used-and what CFM you were able to dial in with it? I want to get one of these, or the Black Widow-HTE or maybe the HVLP model, but my compressor is a small one at 2.5 horse power with an 11 gallon tank. The Specs sticker says it pushes 6.3 SCFM at 40PSI and 4.3 SCFM at 90 PSI. I’m in Southern California where it is warm and dry most of the time, so I don’t know how far apart SCFM and CFM would actually be.🤔. The guns I mentioned say they require around 11 CFM @ 35 PSI for the HTE and 12 CFM @ 28 PSI for the HVLP. My project is around 60 feet of iron fence plus three gates. The paint I am using is: Primer: Sherwin Williams Pro Industrial Pro-Cryl Universal Primer.
    Top Coat: Sherman Williams Pro Industrial Alkyd urethane Gloss Enamel. Both of these product are pretty thick, and SW does not recommend thinning-ya right. The primer measured north of 227 seconds to run out of a Ford viscosity cup. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Bruce

    • @kelvinparris6267
      @kelvinparris6267 4 года назад +2

      You can use Acetone so that it will flash off quicker than Mineral Spirits and dry more like a lacquer. If you do not want to use Acetone, you can just use Naphtha but it dries slower than if you use Acetone..

    I have the same gun as your newer one, and drilled the nozzle out to 2mm per recommended, am using floor poly as it it t tougher finish.
    I sprayed and the finish we full of small bubbles.
    What would you recommend to eliminate all the bubbles. I have 12 table tops to do for a friend
    Thanks

    • @CreativityUnleashed
      @CreativityUnleashed  2 года назад +1

      One question did you use sanding sealer first ? and also sometimes right after sprain if you hit it with a heat gun it will pop all the bubbles super fast but not always it depends the material you're using I hope that works

      I tried various wipe on techniques and the MinWax oil base poly didn’t flow.
      I’m going back to spraying and want to try again. Please give me some pointers to my questions
      Using Varathane Polyurethane at what ratio should I mix it?
      Have a regulator attached to the gun, what pressure do you use.
      I tried a MinWax Sanding Sealer before but it prevented the poly from getting a good amber color to the wood, it did prevent raised grain but effected the final color. What sealer do you use?
      Your finish on the piece in the YT is beautiful.
      I was plagued wit very fine bubbled before don’t want to repeat again.
      I’m so frustrated really hope you have time to help me set this up.
      Thanks
