I have searched and read all the good post on using a rotary and how to

control or eliminate splatter.



Guys, I am having great difficulty in mastering this aspect of using the rotary.

It seems if I dont add enough product, the machine starts to skip and jump around.

If I add more product, then this is where it can and has started to splatter.



Sometime I am running the machine at about 1200 rpm, and jump it up to 1500rpm, and whoomph, its as if I just added more product but I did not, and I get splatter.



So when does this learning curve come into effect and things get better ?
 
well first off are you applying the product onto the paint or onto the pad?



if you are applying it onto the paint, remember that the buffer probably spins clockwise, so you want to start from the right of the panel that you are working and move to the left. that way the product theroretically have more time on the pad before the product reaches the outside of the pad and splatters like you say you are having a problem with.



Hope i helped, im sure someone will come on here and shoot down my thoughts but it works for me so who knows.



Which rotary are you using by the way?
 
I start off at 800 spread, then work my way up....idk I guess it just takes some time... :nixweiss

Chris,

Your on and I really really appreciate your offer to help me out. Im heading down south on February 7th for a company off-site on the 8th or 9th.

Can we hook up on the 7th ? (Im heading to Anahiem).

Around 2;30 or 3:30 ?



Let me know where you want to meet...maybe Pauls/CG ?

PM if you want too.
 
Only problem is time. I have to get my son from school at 3. I'll see if I can arrange something for that day though.
 
I don't know what pads you are using and products, but those two videos will help you to eliminate splatter. Notice how they are picking up the product. That is all there is to it. Of course too much product will produce splatter. Even OP.
