The instructions for adjusting HVLP I gave above are not entirely correct. I got these from a person who posts on www.paintucation.com, whose handle is GaryL. These are for a Sharpe Platinum, but I believe they apply to any HVLP gun, if anyone is interested:--Turn the fluid control all the way out, until it is about to come off the threads. Pull the trigger (NO air to the gun!), turn the fluid control in until it touches the trigger, you will feel resistance, then turn an additional 1/2 turn. For the fan control, turn the control all the way out, then back in 1/4 turn. These adjustments will likely need very little modification. Further info -- The distance to hold the gun from the surface is about 6 inches. Close your eyes, pull the trigger with the air connected, hold your hand some distance from the tip of the gun, slowly move your hand or the gun closer, until you feel "a wall of air". Open your eyes, it will be about 6 inches. This is the maximum distance to hold the gun from the surface, and gives the correct atomization. The adjustments are for a full pattern. Although pressure, fluid, and pattern width are adjustable, guns function best when "wide open", and require, IMO, an excessive amount of fiddling if you want to paint a smaller surface. For smaller parts I use a touch-up gun.

Today's Featured Article - Experimental Tractors Article - by Danny Bowes (Dsl). Tractor technology appears to have nearly hit it's pinnacle of development. If you agreed with the subtitle, you are rather mistaken. Quite, actually. As a matter of fact, some of the technology experimented with over 40 years ago makes today's tractor technology seem absolutely stale by comparison. Experimentation, from the most complex assembly to the most simple and mundane component, is as an integral a part of any farm tractor's development ... [Read Article]
