this topic is really on a roll (THANKS BRIAN!!!) I would be keenly =

in your take on the differences in spraying methods. <BR>Greg
Newell<BR><BR><BR>Hi Greg -</DIV>
<DIV> I am mostly referring to =
the
differences in the way the finish looks as it is applied. I =
remember one
of the biggest adjustments for me early on in spraying water-based was =
knowing
what the appropriate amount of material looked like while still wet on =
the
surface. The tendency, I think, is to want to put more on than is
necessary, because you are seeing what initially looks like orange peel, =
or a
finish too sparsely applied. This is especially true, of course, if=
you
come from a long background of spraying solvent-based. The water-=
based
stuff levels itself quite differently, coalescing into a level film over=
several minutes. Knowing how much to apply is learned by trial and=
error, and doesn't really take that long if your awake. The
solvent-based stuff is actually a bit more intuitive that way, I think.&=
