meter will indicate the viscosity of the paint. A low viscosity means
liquid paint, while a high viscosity means thick paint. For some
paints, the viscosity can be set at 18±2 seconds, while for oil paints it
should be 40-60 seconds.
For MSW-ES-1000, the recommended viscosity is:
Wood painting, selected varnishes - 30/40 seconds
Waterborne paints - 30-60 seconds
Solvent-based paints - 40-60 seconds
Varnishes - 40-50 seconds
Wood stains, selected varnishes - no dilution required.
It should also be taken into account that sometimes some surfaces
require additional treatment such as sanding and/or degreasing
before painting/varnishing for better coverage.
Before actually painting/varnishing a surface, it is a good idea to
conduct a test on a piece of cardboard to make sure that the
settings are satisfactory.
3.3.2
Basics of correct painting/varnishing
When painting, keep a steady distance between the gun
perpendicular the surface to be painted / varnished at a maximum
of 20 cm (see the picture below).
If the distance is too close, too much paint may appear in the
middle of the surface to be painted (e.g. risk of streaking), and if the
distance is too long, the painted surface will not cover properly.
