Danish term

rævehale /rævehaler

Danish to English Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial spray painting
Udskiftning af maleslanger

Slanger kan lukke til indvendig, hvilket typisk giver 'rævehaler'.

Sorry, this is a brief instruction manual, and there is no more relevant context.

The 'slanger' are the paint supply hoses to the paint pistol.
Does this mean gaps and uneven patches in the painted surface?
Something like 'helligdage' (Holiday, skip according to L&H) ?

(Please don't tell me it's a foxtail unless you know in this context!)

But thanks for any suggestions!
Proposed translations (English)
2 thin parallel fuzzy stripes
3 kinked hose

Christine Andersen (asker) Sep 15, 2006:
I've found the expressions 'fluttering spray' - when the paint leaves the gun in a jerky manner but htis is caused by air leaking into the fluid line.

Another expression is 'frogs' - skins and other foreign bodies in the paint when it needs straining. I don't know if they are on track at all?

But I still don't know what 'rævehaler' are exactly in this context!

rævehaler er derfor "kinks"
