I think the HP-CS instructions are misprinted. If you read the section on 'Stippling' below the 'Fine-line' section they start talking about fine-line spraying. Then over the page under 'Cutaway Handle' there are 3 random steps and then they talk about stippling. I think steps 1 - 3 under Fine-Line spraying relate to Fine-line spraying. Steps 4 and 5 actually belong to the steps 1 - 3 on the following page which are for Stippling though are under the 'Cutaway handle' section.
Hope that make sense,

It is also recommended that the HP-CS sprays at around 35psi. Someone said earlier that Spectra-Tex is like Commart. I used Commart at 25 - 30 psi and it sprayed really well. I didn't have tip-dry issues until I went to Wicked Colors at 35psi. I have learned to spray with the cap off so I can clean it with my thumb nail easily and quickly before I spray a line. Obviously with no cap on you have to be real careful not to damage the needle.
Must say I am now interested in this stippling effect. Think I will give it a go tomorrow. I have been playing with ice-block sticks to try and build texture, maybe this will work better?
