Carl at the supply shop convinced me to try waterborne primer

I always swore by solvent-based primer, but Carl said I was burning money on booth time. He showed me a door he did last Tuesday that dried in 20 minutes with zero fisheye, so I grabbed a gallon to test my next job. Anyone else have luck switching over?

My 30 year old DeVilbiss gun just won't lay waterborne flat like it does with solvent.

You're saying it "just won't lay waterborne flat" but are you sure it's the gun and not the material? Waterborne is a whole different animal and atomizes differently even with the same settings. Could be you just need to tweak your pressure or fluid tip a bit before blaming a 30 year old workhorse.
