Hello everyone!
For last two months my main clear was spi production. On first 5 gallons of it I did small adjustements, while spraying, found the best one for me, and the last 10 gallons of it I sprayed almost the same adjustment. So, I got pretty used to it, always had it the way I wanted and no runs, no dry spots. Today, however, something changed.
Today, I got 2 cars, 2 Dodge caravans, both front ends, both same color - pbu, dark blue. The first thing I noticed- got too much overspray from sealer. Second - base dried a bit too quickly. But didn't give it too much attention. And then clear. It sprayed way different than it was yesterday and and any day for last couple months. The drops were too big, and I had to readjust the gun. After finishing the second coat, I found one light run. And again, for the last 2 months I didn't have any of them! So I was mad at myself that probably I did a mistake somewhere and slowed down for a second. But next car, I'm doing same stuff and getting a run again! So now I pretty sure it's not just me, but something is changing. I have always same clear-production, same hardener, I have always same temperature- 65 while spraying . The only thing that really changed outside- we getting warm temperatures and snow starts melting. The humidity goes up and even at my home yesterday I turned out humidifier.
So my question is- does humidity affects the way how you spray? And if it does, what adjustments should I do?
Thanks
