Briefly discuss three techniques used to prevent orange peel.

What will be an ideal response?


-Use proper gun adjustments, techniques, and air pressure.
-Schedule painting to avoid temperature and humidity extremes. Select the reducer that is suitable for existing conditions. The use of a slower evaporating thinner or reducer will overcome an orange peel problem.
-Allow sufficient flash and dry time. Do not dry by fanning.
-Allow proper drying time for undercoats and topcoats (not too long and not too short).
-Reduce to recommended viscosity with proper thinner/reducer.
-Stir all pigmented undercoats and topcoats thoroughly.
