I’ve never actually used BM advanced- I started with BM cabinet coat, then command, then Kem aqua, and then on to Gallery. The dry/cure time is literally a fraction of the time- recoat is about an hour for gallery, whereas advance is what, 16 hours? For a shop trying to put out product, quick dry time is an absolute necessity. Never mind that afavance is oil-modified which means the whites turn yellow over time. That’s a nonstarter for me.

@@SpottedTongueWoodworking thank you. Gallery advertising that no sand and prime needed. Would you recommend sand and prime first? Thank you .

@anisawu8709 oh my gosh. That product messaging was the single biggest mistake Sherwin Williams could have made with marketing Gallery. Absolute nonsense. My winning combo- 2 coats SW Kem Aqua Surfacer Primer, 2 coats SW Gallery. Sand between each coat.

@@SpottedTongueWoodworking thank you for sharing this valuable information.

Easily 30 gallons before having it clog up like that

​@@SpottedTongueWoodworking doesn't graco say 200ltr pump life?

That’s a lot of nails 😳 can’t say I’ve always heard great things about Milwaukee customer service, but I do like the tools.

You are absolutely spot on with the cleaning- light to dark or dark to light takes a longer time to flush and switch. I think it cleans quicker with mineral spirits than water. As for the leaking… 😬😬😬 it all depends where the fluid is coming from. My problem was the middle seal of the tip guard was not engaged because the unit had been cross threaded from the factory- if you can’t get it completely hand tightened then that’s the problem. Have you tried a different tip guard combo with the unit?

Thank you! I had been using a 308 fflp tip for gallery at a 4/5 on the quickshot, but I recently started using a 310 at 5/6 just for a little thicker coverage with each coat. Can’t notice much of a difference in finish quality and have much fewer clogs than the 308 now.

@@SpottedTongueWoodworking Thank you! I will try have try that next time.

I like to think that Milwaukee learned some extremely valuable lessons from that 1st gen jigsaw.

Thank you!

Yes, that’s exactly the type of project that his sprayer is made for- smaller projects in weird/tight spaces

I think you found me on the Shapeoko FB group- I’ll be sending you a message shortly

It’s been a while- did I not mention him in this video? You are absolutely correct- he was a large influence in my early woodworking, and a lot of the mechanical operations of this table were inspired by him.

It’s been a while- did I not mention him at all? You are absolutely correct- Guy’s podcasts and videos were a large influence in getting me in to woodworking, and his series on a butterfly table did provide a lot of inspiration for this build.

I know exactly what you’re saying. I haven’t officially tested it, but I feel I was getting quicker dry times spraying with HVLP rather than airless. The first time I tried gallery I used the SW vinyl sealer underneath and that took hours to dry. Switched to the Kem Aqua Surfacer and now it’s usually dry in about an hour spraying with airless. Definitely a nice hard, buttery smooth finish that I’m very happy with

The old one- not the new brushless one.

The price is definitely a little salty, even with contractor pricing. But this is the first product I’ve used that I honestly like. Kem Aqua was close but I struggled with it and was never totally satisfied. Gallery has just consistently been good. Just did a vanity in a dark color in the matte sheen and WOW. Glad you’re enjoying it too!

Classic case of reading a word and not being super familiar with it. I honestly thought the two pronunciations meant two different things. The more you know 🤷‍♂️

Generally I don’t like being told what to do (probably a good reason why I am self-employed) but I will take a look. At this point this project is closing in on two years ago, so I hope my best practices with power machinery have improved since then. Thanks.

@@SpottedTongueWoodworking push rod / and you probably know that any way a bit of a hassel but at least you will still be able to play the piano blades are SHARP dont make your fingers FLAT 🎹🎹🎹🤟

That’s fair. A true piano man helped disassemble that part and allow me to focus on the woodworking aspect. I keep hoping I get another chance to do another one of these and I’ll be sure to include that part!

Sorry to see you go. Have fun.

It’s not the only way to do it, but it’s a way that worked for me! Thank you!

Absolutely! I build custom cabinetry and I’ve been trying to figure out a way to help automate the process/replicate some of the things bigger/more equipped shops are doing, while still trying to maintain a high quality product. Good luck!

“It doesn’t matter the blade” because I was using the same blade in both saws to highlight the differences between the two saws on an equal playing field- same blade, same battery, same wood. I get what you’re saying, but I don’t think that’s the point.

I thought to myself, why not try to bother every single person on the internet

That’s a good question- I always understood pump armor is used when the sprayer is going to be sitting for a while, especially in close to freezing conditions. I could be wrong- but I feel like I don’t go more than a few days without spraying and as such never saw the need for it

I can’t believe it not a aluminum pump that a little disappointing for 1500 hundred bucks you would think it would be more solid .

Right? It’s such a little thing that can cause such a huge headache, especially for that price

I got my own unit and used it for the first time this weekend. I fully flushed it with water until clean water was spraying out, but then I followed it up with mineral spirits and plenty of paint was primed out. I followed it up with pump armor.

@KyleVeatch nice- I’m not saying don’t use pump armor and I don’t have a good reason not to, I just felt I never had a good reason to use it. It certainly doesn’t hurt- and best of luck with your new sprayer!

I appreciate it- and always love to connect with fellow Paul B. Hardware aficionados! I actually have a long-term review/maintenance video coming soon that Paul B plays a huge role in. I can honestly say I never thought a hardware store could be a life changing experience, but that was until Paul B came to town 😂

@@SpottedTongueWoodworking well count me as a view on that upcoming video, I’m definitely intrigued!

I’m finding that I like using it as a supplement to what I do on a day-to-day basis; at the end of the day, it produces higher quality in a shorter time frame than I can produce. Unfortunately my bottom-line is determined by the almighty dollar, rather than the art of handicrafts

I guess. It had been broken for 6+ months and unused, so things do tend to get dirty in an actively used shop. Along with expecting a DIY-level tool (at best) to keep up with a heavy finishing schedule didn’t help things. I’m surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Oh yeah. Either breathe a little bit all the time, or a whole lot all at once 😂

Sorry, just the full length build video on the channel

Idk if that was me- I was in my shop all day yesterday, south-central PA

Surprisingly well. Every time I change the filters I’m amazed how much dust it collects. We’re a about 18 months in and it’s still going strong. Biggest complaint is the remote- it’s a little finicky to get pointed directly at the unit to turn on and off

Hope it helps!

Thanks! Make sure you use a stain-blocking primer to keep that color from bleeding through- I’ve been seeing a lot more wood/paint contrast out there, so I think you’re on to something! Good luck!

Thank you!

Switching from HVLP to airless is a night day difference. I was always adjusting the HVLP to get it to spray right. Airless is just point and shoot, and the FFLP tips give an equivalent finish! Just get used to cleaning the quickshot. It’s a little more delicate than a standard airless, but as long as you keep flushing it with mineral spirits after each use you’ll be golden- enjoy!!

If you have the money to spend, it’s a neat little gun. I don’t think it’s worth the full price, but it is periodically on sale at Sherwin Williams. Now that we’re almost a year past these original videos, here’s my long-term take: it’s super convenient to be able to easily spray small jobs and switch between primer/paint/clear. I love the short hose not being in the way/getting tangled and not wasting a lot of product every time I clean it. I love being able to spray different parts of projects in a variety of places without worrying about plugs/cords (ie inside and outside). I don’t like how hard it is to keep clean- you have to keep up with cleaning l/flushing the machine out or it will give you problems. You can’t drop the gun head in a bucket of water like a standard airless gun because of the electronics, so it is harder to keep from clogging between coats or if you get distracted. The projects I have been doing are getting bigger and bigger, so the sprayer is getting pushed to its limits. I maybe should have gotten the GX19 for my shop, but this is the perfect unit for smaller furniture and small projects

No need to thin- 308 fflp and it lays down like glass!

Was just using it yesterday for a short run of crown molding- the size is super convenient for working on a ladder or platform

Please tell me more.
