As the title. Can the GC50 be sprayed using HVLP gun? I have a Apollo Pro Spray 1500. Hoping to only have to use a different needle. What would be the best cleaning method If I can use it?

Ben

The gun we supply uses a 6mm nozzle, so if your gun has a 6mm nozzle then it should in theory work.

Cleaning involves acetone before it cures. Hence why the cup gun uses disposable cups to reduce clean up time.

Looks like the biggest I can get is 2.8mm. Can the GC50 be finned down?

Hi Ben,

Sorry we missed your next question. No, we wouldn't really recommend trying to thin down the GC50. GC50 is already designed as a spray-gel and as such it has quite a high styrene content already.

It's far better to get a nozzle that's appropriate for spraying gelcoats rather than thin the gelcoat beyond where it's supposed to be.

All the best, Matt
