Default Spraying Latex

I sprayed some white latex this afternoon and got a pretty good finish and coverage, the best I've done so far. However the finish feels like a very fine sandpaper. I'm using a HVLP gun, the paint was two parts paint to one part water and a small amount of Floetrol. Valspar latex enamel, satin white. The spray pattern shows very fine/small dots of paint, but yet it takes 5-10 minutes for the paint to dry. I'm thinking the dots of paint need to be a little big. Any suggestions to avoid getting the sandpaper feel?
