- 1) MOST IMPORTANT!!!
- MIX the paint COMPLETELY BEFORE you thin it down to spray!
- (I mix the paint in the jar, then pour a small amount into the brush jar.
- THEN I thin it down, mixing completely again!)
-
- This will get rid of a lot of your symptoms.
-
- 2) Have you tried acrylics? I like them better than oils. I have done oils
- since @1972. Acrylics are a lot more forgiving (and don't smell as much).
-
- Hope this helps.
-
- BTW: wider path = wider tip
- you can also spray from a little farther away. (notice I said a LITTLE).
