08 Hopper System:
A hopper system can be an effective tool when spraying large amounts of the coating. Larger containers of varying sizes that fit your spray pump are perfect for mixing and containing the product. The best system is to mix each pail and then pour into the hopper. This works well when multiple guns are being used and consistent flow of product exceeds mix rate. Place the pickup nozzle for the sprayer at one end of the container and periodically stir the hopper with the mud paddle. This system will allow the sprayer to have consistent product throughout the application. When used with a lid, the hopper will help prevent drying of the top layer of coating and sidewalls of the hopper.
