I use Polyfiber's UV smooth prime on fiberglass and like it. It can be
put on with a small roller or sprayed. I tried spraying it once without
very good results. I used an HVLP gun with a 1.5mm nozzle. Rolling has
its problems too, so I'd like to try spraying again.

Can some one one who has sprayed this stuff successfully advise me what
is the best nozzle size to use for this stuff? I'm guessing it is
larger than 1.5mm since it has a lot of solids. I have an assortment of
nozzles.

Thanks,

Did you thin it before you tried spraying? I have sprayed it with the
Harbor Freight HVLP gun and whatever nozzle it comes with with good results.

I spray AKZO epoxy primer unthinned with a DeVilbiss HVLP and 1.2. Can't
imagine Poly UV needing larger than 1.5. 1.8 would be the next size to try.
Toy around with your needle & air pressure settings. Is your needle clean?

Yes, I thinned it as it says to on the can, but it has a very high
solids content. It's really a filler. I think the term "primer" is
misused in this case. You still have to spray real primer on top of the
smooth prime after you sand it. It is a good filler, though.

Could ambient temperature be a factor? I have never used the stuff you guys are discussing, but I found out in my first few experiences with epoxy primer that it is certainly easier to spray in summer vs winter.
