Gun distance 15–20 cm, 50 % overlap, fan fully open. Strain (~190 µm). Flush equipment with water before and after use (dealer). Stainless/plastic fluid path; don't leave material sitting in the gun — it skins and dries.

Air spray is the catalog method. Transfer efficiency up to 40 % (methods page) — budget for overspray.

Not listed by Technocolor for this code — fine by standard practice; better than airless for topcoats (methods page). Stainless fluid section.

Only for big flat areas (cladding, fences) where throughput matters. Watch for sags — no thixotropy claimed.

Synthetic brush (for waterborne), 0–5 % water. Lay off along the grain, don't overwork — waterborne grabs fast. For pure brush work the 2022 catalog had a separate HTL60K.
Roller
- Allowed
- yesrecommended
Not a Technocolor-listed method — test first.
Process and compatibility
- Substrate preparation
- Wood dry (12–15 % MC), clean, dust-free; sand P150–P180. Waterborne raises grain: wet the wood, dry, then sand P180–P240 before lacquering (official prep page). If the wood will see weather, apply a preservative first (CPH6 / CTH100); seal end grain with HTS30.recommended
