It's my understanding that the PolyFiber stuff does not like to be
shot from the modern HVLP gun and prefers the old-fashioned wasteful
type. I think it was the PolyFiber reps in UK that told me so. I am
intending (one day in the almost unforeseeable future) to use the
PolyFiber process, so I will probably do some comparison tests
between my HVLP gun and an el-cheapo regular type before I start on
the aircraft pieces.

Many of us think we might do things differently next time around, but
some of us are real slow learners ....
