Hi,

Can your Epoxy Coating Resin be sprayed with a spray gun?

If affirmative, what nozzle should i use? 2,5mm?

Hi Pedro,

Although I've never tried it I wouldn't suggest spraying the coating resin if you're using the resin clear and coating something where the clarity (particulary in terms of air entrapment)  is important. The reason is because it's a very viscous resin and it's so important when coating with clear epoxy to reduce the chances of air entrapment wherever possible, I would be worried that spraying might cause air entrapment.

If you do spray, you'll need something larger like 4mm+ nozzle, given how thick this coating resin is.

All the best, Matt
