HVLP sprayer

Diluting may be necessary on smooth surfaces and for viscous, gel-like materials. Mixing with water is also recommended if the atomisation is too coarse or the volume of paint is too low (even on the maximum setting).

Detailed information on the individual materials and the maximum dilution can be found on the material manufacturer’s technical data sheet (available online).

First, try spraying without diluting the paint. If the atomisation is not fine enough or edges appear, dilute in 5-percent increments using the stirring rod.

Detailed information on specific materials and the maximum permissible dilution can be found on the material manufacturer’s technical data sheet. This is available online.

Steam wallpaper stripper

Depending on the amount of water in the container, it can take up to 12 minutes for the system to generate steam. A full container generates steam for around 85 minutes.

We recommend descaling our wallpaper steamers after every 6th use. How often you have to descale a device depends significantly on the water hardness. You can determine this using a water hardness test, which can be purchased in DIY stores or online.
