&lt;p&gt;FOR NOVICE SPRAYERS:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First of, always use personal protection, full face respirators, gloves and coveralls, if contaminated , dispose of them in a proper manner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Start with clean gun, filters and oil in your iso-oil bottle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Always mix, agitate, &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;before&lt;/span&gt; running stick pumps, try to keep mixing while spraying (gently).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When machine is fitted with recirculation make sure you use the same materials after switching drums, if you changes materials, flush away alien hose content.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flush both sides at the hose end operating &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;JUST&lt;/span&gt; the stick pumps, heaters on but &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;without machine pressure &lt;/span&gt;to see if material flows evenly without cavitation, listen carefully to your stick pumps.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Handmix flushed content untill solid.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Always have the machine &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;AND&lt;/span&gt; hose heated all the way up before spraying, this will prevent you chamber for clogging up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shoot a fair amount of polyurea on a piece of something, to check pumps, flow, and gel time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use clean respirators, half face filters last only 4 full days, dispose of them and use new ones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Coveralls gloves and glasses are mandatory, but just mind your and somebody elses&amp;nbsp;safety, allways.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On any material, do not shoot too much material on the first pass, a thick layer of 80 degrees celcius can do strange things.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After every pass, lock the gun, if paused for longer than 15 minutes, take pressure off the hose (retract).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If done, do not take the pressure all the way down, leave just a little on, when cooling down, shrinkage of the material can suck moisture through anything (yes, even hose material).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/img&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
