Spraying temperature

Post by deadedith »

What is the minimum ambient temperature for spraying nitro? This would be in an open, well-ventilated area with humidity between 40-50%.
Thanks

Dave,
Check out the reranch.com forum. Those guys spray when its cold. Most would not recommend it though. I sprayed rattle can sanding sealer at 40 degrees a few weeks ago. I dont see any difference, but I will be sanding it off, so it wont affect my finish. hopefully.
