I use a 1.4 with my Iwata LPH400. 1.8 will work too. Haven’t tried 1.3.

^^^ ...thank you. I think I asked this question before buying a gun with a 1.4 but couldn't find the thread I asked in.

Better to ask again than make a mistake.

1.4 or 1.5 here.

You can dial a larger tip down but can't dial a small one up.

1.4 here.

1.4 for me, on anyones epoxy.

 

[El Toro]

Let me throw this out.........depends what you are painting and what epoxy will be used for.I just did a mirror and used a touch up gun and epoxy as a filler altho did reduce a little. But 1,4 for the most part.

All the above is right, My saying is treat lit like a basecoat and use your basecoat or clearcoat gun

We have added all the tip sizes and the catalog is at printer now.

Now I feel bad costing you money. I'll split the cost of the printing with you. Add the cost to my next order of 2k primer

We were running out and reprinting anyways.
We always correct confusing statements and add things that seem to be the most common questions we receive.
All these years of changing the catalog, it will never be perfect.

I'm impressed with your willingness and effort put fourth for SPI. It truly is a company who not only cares about it customers but, actually listens to there customers. You couldn't ask for a better business practice.

Thank you, MJM!
That means a lot to SPI, especially
in these times when we're fighting shortages and 18 to 31.5 percent price increases across the board.
Once the *****!****** was shut down
All the solvents are related to gas prices and went ballistic.
boxes 10%
shipping 10%
solvents average 25%
resins 22%.
misc additives 18%.

Elections have consequences.

The good news is business for us is up, due to other companies' backorders and lack of cans to make the material.
We hoarded an extra $100,000 of cans this year, so we are in good shape.
