Hi,
I have some Polyvine Wax Finish Varnish that I used on a stripped wooden door. It took a while to apply and I have a load of other doors to do so I thought about spraying.
Polyvine's literature states that their decorator's varnish can be sprayed but no mention of spraying for wax finish varnish. So I contacted them and asked. They said: "All of our products are suitable for spray guns, some models of spray guns may need the products to be slightly diluted."
So then I contacted the technical helpline of an online spray gun retailer. They said they need to see the data-sheet so that they can find out the required nozzle size. The data-sheets for the two products in question do not mention nozzle size. So again I asked Polyvine and had this reply:
"We cannot state a nozzle size as all spray guns are different. If you find the varnish is not coming out of the gun effectively then the product can be watered down to up to 10%."
Which just seems a bit odd to me.
So I either need to come up with a nozzle size to get advice from the online retailer, or hopefully someone here knows what will work and where to buy. I'm after a budget/DIY model -- it may be a while before I need to use it again.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
