Fujispray air cap size for PremierArt Print Shield
« on: April 13, 2015, 12:17:41 am »

I've been working with Canson Platine fibre rag coated with PremierArt's Print Shield for unglazed mounted images.  I like the finished results, but the spray pattern from the cans of print shield leaves a lot to be desired.  I have a Fujispray MiniMite 3 that I use for spraying canvas that works quite well.  If I do much more of the coated Platine I'd much prefer to spray with a setup that offers better control of the spray pattern and maybe reduce the overspray a bit.

I use the 1.3mm air cap for water based coatings, but I know I'll need something smaller for the Print Shield.  Anyone used Print Shield with a Fujispray and a T-series spray gun?  My best guess at this point would be the 1.0mm air cap, but who knows, this stuff is so thin that maybe the 0.8mm would be better...

I believe my Sata MiniJet 3 gun has a 0.8 tip in it for PrintShield.  I know I had to order the smaller nozzle after the OEM one was too big and splattery.

You found as I did the PS stuff is very watery and I set it up using acetone as a cleaner and for a test spray pattern.  It seems to flow about the same.  Nice that it flows out well against some Krylon in a spray can which sputters, and even better than Marshall's SureGuard which is my old spray can favorite.  I do it outdoors with the Sata as the mist is very fine and remains airborne for a long while.

Thanks for the info.  Good to know about the viscosity comparison with acetone... that's really thin stuff.  I'm leaning much more toward the 0.8mm setup now.  I found a materials safety notice for print shield and the specific gravity is almost a dead-on match with acetone.
