Success Story - The "Masters" Touch

Eating next to a golf course has taken on an entirely new meaning...thanks to the wonderful work and artistry of Paul and Merna Uccello. Someone must have said, "Picture this," and the Ucellos did just that. It seems the Uccellos' good friends at "Birdie's Wings" wanted to give the restaurant in Acworth, Georgia, a new look, so they gave Paul and Merna the idea of converting the interior of the popular hot wings eatery into a golf course setting.

Tech Tip - Airless Spray Tips

Each Airless spray tip has a 3 or 4 digit number. For example, Graco Airless Tip number LTX 517 or WR 1227. For a 3-digit number, the first digit is the spray pattern (measured in inches) multiplied by 2, and the second and third digits represent the tip orifice size (in inches). For a 4-digit number, the first two digits are the spray pattern (measured in inches) multiplied by 2, and the third and fourth digits are the tip orifice size.

Examples:

1. LTX 517 is a 10 inch (5 x 2) spray pattern with a .017-orifice
2. WR 1227 is a 24-inch (12 x 2) spray pattern with a .027-inch orifice

NOTE: Each spray pattern is measured at 12 inches from the spray surface.

Application Tip - Perma·Paint Chip Coverage

Perma·Paint chips should be dispersed to cover 70% of the entire surface area leaving the remaining 30% uncovered by chips. The coverage rate is approximately 6 to 7 square feet per 1 pound bag of Perma·Paint chips when cumbled to a "fine" chip size. There are 15 to 20 square feet per 1 pound bag of Perma·Paint chips in their original size.

NOTE: Coverage will vary depending on the percent of coverage of surface area, the method of dispersing, and chip size.
