The issue might also be that you aren’t tightening the cup enough, so my recommendation is that, if all else fails, tighten the cup to where you THINK it should be tightened to, and then give it a good turn and tighten it some more: that will help the cup press up into the gasket even more and should help create an even tighter seal.

This is happening because your spray gun’s trigger is set to allow too much solution to pass through when the gun is “fired”.

Why is the tip of my paint sprayer not working?
If the materials that you’re spraying do not break up well, you’re probably dealing with poor atomization. Atomization occurs when inlet pressure feeds fluid to the paint sprayer tip. If you aren’t using the proper amount of pressure, or if you aren’t using the right tip size, your materials won’t atomize properly.
Why does the tip of my spray gun keep fluttering?
Consider investing in an air spray gun instead. In most causes, fluttering occurs when the tip of your spray gun has not been tightened enough. Try using a torque wrench with a ring spanner attachment to tighten your tip while avoiding slip-off damages.
