I just got done spraying some water-based dye from General Finishes. The one thing I was anticipating with spraying through my HVLP is that I could just spray and let it dry. However, when I sprayed, I saw droplets of dye on my workpiece. I let it soak for a few minutes then wiped it all. It came out all right, but I'd appreciate some guidance on setting up my gun for water based finishes. I was using a 1.4 tip and about 30psi with the fluid knob almost all the way open.
This setting has worked very well for me with lacquer, but I'm not experienced enough with the gun to know how to adjust it for different viscosities.
