Shop Talk 20167 Kremlin Airmix Spraying SW Kem Aqua Plus WB Topcoat

In this video I will be spraying a test door with the SherwinWilliams Sherwood Kem Aqua Plus water reducible clear finish with a Kremlin 10:14 Airmix system. I originally sprayed this finish back in 2011 with a gravity feed HVLP spray gun and have been getting quite a few questions on it as far as application my opinion of the finish solids content and cost. So I decided to try it again with my preferred application with a Kremlin 10:14 Airmix air assisted airless set up. The concern was that an air assisted airless system could potentially introduce micro bubbles causing the finish to have a hazy look so I wanted to see it for myself if it was truly the case. Fortunately I didnt have any of the problems I read about on some of the woodworking forums about the claimed micro bubbles and milky look. My overall thought of the Kem Aqua Plus is this: if you have patients can control your shop environment to maintain 60 degree F and are willing to put a little extra effort in pre sanding its a coating worth looking into. If I had to go to waterborne i would be ready.,
