    Tell you what I learned from what bondo told me a month ago…it’s not always wide open on OVERALL or panel painting. Some times you need to adjust differently. I was having a problem with my Sata. I cleaned up the fan a fuzz, Increased the pressure to 30 (HVLP), and slowed down a tad….waalaa….success!!! :rock :rock Some pros might have thought there was hardware issues and a need to go replace very expensive parts. so glad I listened to the pro bondo and applied it to my application…whew!!!! Saved me hundreds of dollars!!! Thanks!! :pcorn:

    Nope it was me that said that :stoned He said he had a bottom heavy pattern,usually means your fluid tip is damaged or your air horns are dirty.Turning the fan in to clean up the edges is one thing,but to cure a top or bottom heavy pattern is asking for problems.

    I like turning my fan in, I am trying to compensate for something I guess! :blush:

    Some of these pros like jayson think they know everything about painting, I’d be willing to bet he doesn’t even paint cars for a living, probably just sits at home all hours of the night and trolls this site. :rofl
