I have 50' hose to water trap which I leave barely hissing then 50' more to
workshop then 25' to gun. The first 50' acts as a condensor for water
separation. 50-60 psi at compressor gives good consistant gun pressure.
HVLP may require a secondary tank near gun. Raining cats and dogs in
Oregon, but painting anyway. Ron NB Or

Hi Ron-
On my HVLP conversion gun, I used 25 feet of hose to lower temperature
of compressed air, then through a regulator/filter set to 40 psi, then
15 feet of hose to gun which has an attached pressure regulator set to
10 psi...works great. Watch that humidity, Ron...Polyfiber tells me no
higher than 70%. I can't imagine Oregon at less than that...is it?

The Poly stuff is a little different than many paints in that humidity
speeds the drying. I have seen people wet the floor of the paint area on
a warm day and try and spray polytone with interesting results. It
looked like there were spider webs everywhere. It was drying before it
hit the plane and caused all sorts of a mess. Blush retarder can really
help.

That's probably why my Polyfiber rep told me to not spray at 70%
humidity or over. I was lucky that most of my spraying was done at
about 60%, and at less than about 70 degrees...and at one point at 2
am, just to get that last coat on and done with!
