I am now working on my samples using the Target EM6000 product & getting some acceptable beginner results.
My question today is how long can I leave the finish in the siphon container & the gun without cleaning?
Can I do 2 or 4 coats an hour apart?
Or should I clean after each coat?
Mike

I've found that as long as I keep the outside of the fluid tip clean I can leave the material in the gun for a spray session like you described. I tend to clean my gun every time because I fear I'll forget to clean it otherwise.

I use General WB, and have used Target WB for cabinets, and leave the finish in the gun overnight with no issue.
