Bill... I often get mistaken for Spielberg, especially when I'm wearing a ball-cap!
, but lately I'm getting Walter White/Heisenberg from Breaking Bad! lol - but as I tell everyone... I had that look long before Breaking Bad ever came out!!
I can't take credit for that image I'm afraid, it's by a good friend of mine who went to Iceland back in October. Awesome work!
I'm using Satin Timeless, no dilution, and the standard 1.3 air cap that came with it. By adjusting the feed and air flow (on the hose before it hits the gun), I'm getting a very nice, even spray. I can usually get away with 30-45 minutes between coats with no problem, depending on how heavy I lay down the coat. The first coat is very quick and thin, and then I get a little heavier with subsequent coats. I'm finding 4 coats to be just about ideal.
The pegboard works great! I built a frame for the pegboard our of 2x2s, but cut the pegboard sheets in 1/4s and then mounted them with screws. This way I can just replace a 1/4 panel if needed without having to replace an entire sheet. I have a sheet of plastic stapled to the back so any spray that goes through is trapped. But this allows me to put up any size of canvas I need. I tried a bar with clamps on it, but it was too restricting for the different sizes I do. Just before the large print you see in the video, I sprayed a gallery wrap that was going to be 12 x 72". I use large paper clamps on pegboard hooks to place them where I need them. The entire board is 8' x 8', mounted to the wall at a slight angle... maybe 12 degrees or so.
The only ventilation, I'm afraid, is a window behind me and at this time of year, it's not open very often (I'm in Ontario Canada... -30C with the wind-chill today!) but I of course use a mask and goggles. The room is closed in with plastic so everything stays pretty well contained. I don't really spray a lot... may 3 or 4 each month on average. If I start to spray more than that, I'll do something about the ventilation.
