Re: Dust Problems While Coating Papers

2005-07-17 by Nick H. Nugent

Hello Terry,

I found out the dust accumulates on the roller so what I always do now
is rinse it and squeeze out as much water as you can. The moistened
roller actually works better than a dry one. About dust during the
aerosol spray ... I'm not sure what you can do. It's not so much a
problem for me because my spray booth is equiped with a powerful 495
CFM blower that practically makes the room dust free within 15
seconds. Perhaps you should just get the piece in ready position, blow
across with a compressed air can, wait until the dust settles, then spray.
