Curious if anyone has ideas on what happened to some areas I was finishing last weekend. What was supposed to be a couple hours spraying doors and face frames turned into a weekend long ordeal. Poplar face frames, mdf inserts. I primed with HSF5000 primer, 2.0 tip in my 3m accuspray 20lbs of spray pressure. I ran over them with 220 before spraying with a hand block and wiped off the dust with blue scott towels. So I started spraying EM6500 with a 1.8 tip, same gun same settings, I did thin maybe 5% with water. I hung the panels from hangers in my booth and sprayed them vertically, as you can see from the photos there are areas where it just didnt seem to adhere, seems the finish kinda "slid" off. I dont get it, these panels were not exposed to any type of oil, grease, etc. I'm very fussy about handling them. Part of me thinks it has to do with how the gun was atomizing the product?? I ended up sanding the panels smooth and spraying them laying down flat. I did not thin this time and used all the same settings and processes. The EM6500 laid down really nice and flat so I'm very happy with the end result.
