What can dry material in or on the nozzle cause during spraying?

When dry material accumulates in or on the nozzle during spraying, it can disrupt the flow of paint, leading to inconsistent spray patterns. This inconsistency can manifest as uneven application, which may result in blotchy finishes or areas where the paint does not adhere properly. Ensuring that the nozzle is clean and free from dried material is crucial for maintaining an even and controlled spray, which is essential for achieving high-quality paintwork.

While a smooth finish depends on a consistent application, any blockage or buildup in the nozzle directly interferes with this uniformity, making it difficult to achieve the desired results. Other options, such as excessive paint buildup or a shorter drying time, do not directly correlate with dry material in the nozzle interfering with the spraying process.
