Cardboard Destruction
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, July 30, 2004 4:40 PM
I recently bought a Badger 150 and I was testing it out. I had no paint, and i was just spraying compresed air through it. I had a peice of cardboard sitting there, so I sprayed sum air at it. The nozzle was about 6 inches from the board. I sprayed a little and I heard a pop noise. I kinda stared at into space wondering what it was, when I looked down at the cardboard. It had a nice big hole in it from the pressure of the air. My dad saw it and immedietly turned the pressure down on our compressor. I lauhed to myself later about the incident. Luckily I didn't blow any models away using it. I'm lucky none of the parts weren't damaged from the great pressure. I guess the air came out so finely it puncutred a big hole in the board. I got a good laugh and a lesson to turn down the psi before I start spraying.

Ryan,

That is strange. Confused [%-)]
I have sprayed closer than that on cardboard at 80 psi and didn't have that happen.

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon
