Osmo in a HVLP?

[Jay Selway]

Anybody tried it? Curious if it would work. I'm batching out a billion small pieces and love Osmo, but need to speed up production.

I'm a newbie to HVLPs, so thanks in advance.

You're going to have to provide more information about the product you're talking about...Google yields nothing.

google osmo hardwax oil. its green, and maybe comes from over the pond.

After some digging into the MSDS I found that the viscosity is 45 seconds in a DIN #4 cup. DIN #4 is almost the same as Ford #4. 45 seconds is the perfect viscosity for spraying through a 1.8 mm gravity feed HVLP gun. Having said that, I doubt I would spray that stuff and it's oil based. Any over spray (and there will be over spray) is going to make a gooey mess on whatever it lands. That may be OK for you, however. I would look at a dunk and drain process putting a bunch of parts in or on a wire basket. Don't know if you've already tried that.
