I bought a Fuji Mini-Mite 5 with a T75 gravity cup last December and I’m having a difficult time getting the adjustments correct.
I’m using waterborne General Finishes Enduro-Var and Crystalac Top Coat Poly thinned up to 20%. After talking to Fuji tech support a couple of times and continually being told I’m using the wrong needle/cap set and not thinning the finish enough, I said to heck with it and bought everything from 1.0 to 2.5. I started the 1.0 needle, than a 1.3, 1.5, 1.8 and finely a 2.0 to get it to spray with any satisfaction (I haven’t tried the 2.5 yet). Makes me wonder why this gun comes with a 1.3 if a 1.8 or 2.0 is needed for waterborne. Anyway....can anyone tell me what I maybe doing wrong (seems to be a heck of a learning curve with this thing) and has anyone else had similar problems spraying waterborne finishes with a Fuji? I now have about $1300 in this Fuji and my old $249 Earlex 5500 seems todo a better job with the same needle I used for oil base poly.
