Found some good info here. www:martinsenour-autopaint.com-shared-troubleshooting_guide/tsg.pdf
I discovered that I had a cheap gun that was causing my "catering". Poor atomization messed up pattern and I overcorrected. Ordered a Devilbiss Friday. I had been chasing the contamination and/or the solvent popping theories. Every fault is shown w/ a photo. You paint pros here know this stuff but it was like the Holy Grail for my dumb ass!

Please accept my dumb ass and allow a little room on the bench (Thanks!)
