Home Depot and most paint stores can sell you a moisture trap. It should be placed as close as possible to the gun. Draining the tank can help, but it is not fool proof and the longer you spray the greater the probability that you will get moisture in the paint. In humid climates, even a long hose can cause problems if you don't trap the moisture right before the gun. Larry Severson Fountain Valley, CA 92708 (714) 968-9852 [email protected]
