Default I can not control clear coat pressure

When I try to do a clear coat, the powder runs right thur the gun, if I tip the gun upright, all the powder in the cup spills out on the ground. I can not seem to control the flow at all.
The clear coat came to me in a caswell cup.

How full is the cup? It sounds like you might have too much powder in the cup, I think the recommended level is about 1/3 full.

Steve, that seems to have been what I was doing wrong, the cup was to full.
Thanks for your help.

If it was too full... it would happen with all powders... not just clear.
