air compressor

<< < (3/3)

HondaFour:
Try and get the biggest one you can afford as the free air delivery needs to be good for spraying a bigger job or the compressor will run all the time, not godd for its long term health.

curro:
I do a lot of 2k spraying (i run a mobile smart repair business). A compressor (if big enough) equiped with a co-aliscent filter will provide clean air which must then be run to an airfed mask together with its own filter. This is safe.
Dont do as i did when i started by trying to use one of these 'gerson' type disposable masks sold on fleabay as safe! You will eventually become sensitised to the vapour (which means you will never be able to go near solvents or 2k again) or worse develop asthma.
I use a Hydrovane rotary compressor in my van, through a 3stage devilbiss filter, then to an airfed full mask (and i only spray outdoors), 2k is, as said previously,  NASTY STUFF!  I feared i learned this lesson too late as my lungs are pretty bad now.
My advise for what its worth is 'leave it alone'!
