So now that we have gotten over the INNUENDO, which, Jack Benny, Fred Allen, Bob Hope, Milton Burl, Red Skelton, etc., etc., were experts at! Maybe we can get back to the subject.
I'm so d@## "gun" shy about the new paints that I am almost completely crippled in the paint department. I have a couple of hundred dollars worth of quarts on the shelf that I have bought over the last winter that I’m afraid to mix it up. DBU, DP50, ALK-200, after reading the labels they all sound like they’re gonna kill me the minuet I pull the trigger. I’ve got power supplies, glass tanks, anodes, reams of information and a couple of years of monitoring the electro-plating forums and just can’t bring my self to buy/keep/use cyanide around the shop, so I’m crippled there also.
So last night it crossed my mind that if the vapors are so utterly toxic that if one inhales a snoot full that you have signed your death warrant, if you minimize the vapors, you’re a little ahead of the Grim Reaper. Well, how bout HVLP, we haven’t mentioned these here. Again I’ve not used any of them since they came in only recently relative to my painting experience. I’ve read that put only about 10% of the atomized material in the air that the old standard guns did. I just can’t see how they can break up the paint like the old high pressure guns did. What are your experiences with HVLP.
