Airgunsa

Sorry, trying to find the setup/dial in for mossy sauce activator, airgunsa, 1.8 tip , about 14psi. Having issues right now which I feel like I'm having too much fluid, but I'm killing my film and I have to get these things out quickly. Thanks

Got any pictures to help us diagnose things?

I've repainted it, but the film just slid right off the item. Not melting the paint as if you put way too much activator. Almost in my opinion, like the paint window closed. I'm using OHW so that shouldn't be the issue

Definitely sounds over activated or you maybe dipped into film That was upside down on the water. Really not sure unless we have photos.

Trying to get someone to give you "the setup/dial in for mossy sauce activator, airgunsa, 1.8 tip , about 14psi" is pretty tough to do. A MUCH better approach is to learn to set up your gun, as it will change often and you need to be able to adapt to the situation.

Get some construction paper, or some Ram Board from Home Depot and watch this video

Once you can set up your gun, this process gets WAY easier

@MidOhioHydrographics definitely not upside down. I know what that looks like. Lol
@WileECoyote I'll try that this afternoon

Ok, same f-ing thingand that's letting it dwell for 20seconds after activating 🤬🤬

MidOhioHydrographics

Yeah that’s over activated. Dwell time after activation will only make that worse. Spray less activator.

It also sucks when you’re trying to get things out quickly. It never goes well. We always quote 3-4 week turnaround if it’s going to take 1-2 weeks. LOL

You're right and usually give myself plenty time,unfortunately it took 2 weeks to get my film. And I'll add that's never happened before with them. Normally I get my film in 4 days, max. Thanks again @MidOhioHydrographics

Looks like you may have some dripping from the tip, or spitting as well. Its hard to tell between that and the running off.

@WileECoyote I was having drips. Took it apart. Got that fixed. And thought I had it set back where it was, but pretty damn obvious I didn't. Now this and can't seem to get it right. Tried Jim's video and it looks good there but just laying down right. Just trying to drink a little so I can calm down and try later

This isn't rocket science, but it can be damn frustrating. Don't worry, we can get you through it. If I was standing there, I could show you how to set up a gun in under a minute.

Start off with your fluid flow low, and then bring your air up from zero till the pattern spreads out evenly. Keep increasing your fluid flow slightly and then bringing up the air till you can spray the pattern on a piece of paper and see no gaps and it drips after 1 full second

@WileECoyote yeah, it's frustrating sometimes to say the least. I finally got it and got just about everything in the shop dipped last night.  I appreciate the tutorial though. That definitely would've helped and now it's here maybe will help someone else

You would be amazed at how many times we have told people the exact same information. It's located on literally HUNDREDS of threads already.
