This looks like a good solution. I repair furniture as a mobile service, and sometimes the manufacturers send out little kits of their matching paints. They're about the size of a nail polish vile, so I wouldn't be able to use the mason jar. The solution would be too shallow at the bottom and the tube wouldln't reach it. Is there any smaller solution? Like something which would clamp onto the tube, yet still allow it to breathe? Then the mason jar could be screwed on over it. I might have to invent this.

I know this is an old video, but the facts dont age. I m saying this is a pos. You need a sprayer that can make a fan spray . Painting with anything that shoots a circular spray isnt going to put on a nice even coat. Ive sprayed custom airbrushed motor cycles. I also restored a 66 Nova and 67 Chevelle. So I know you need a fan spray. After one spray pass ,you over lap the previous pass about a 1/2 width of the fan spray. This gun wont do that. Just aim this at a will and you will get a circular pattern blob,. You are not going to get an even paint film on you project. You may get lucky, but with all the time and money spent, get something thats designed for proper spraying. Why not just spit some paint through a straw! You can buy a cheap touch up gun at harbor freight, and when you are done, its cheap enough that you could just throw it away, instead of cleaning it. Id guarantee youll get better results vs this cheap ass gizmo.

This is a specialty spray gun for small wood projects with a lot of pro woodworkers singing its praises. You make some good points though.

I need to paint a nbf 35" five drawer file cabinet. Right now it's blue but I want to paint it red. I was cleaning my shed and found this spray gun. Should I just use home depot spray cans or should I purchase a compressor and use my jar sprayer? Thank u

I’ve seen your question elsewhere…. If I were you, not already owning an air compressor, I’d just buy Rustoleum spray cans for the job. Be sure and prep the cabinet appropriately (clean and scuff sand). I used their spray cans to paint the pedestal base of a kitchen table and the 4 chairs and it worked great (several thin coats to prevent drips). Get a spray can trigger handle to make it easier on your finger.

I just bought one of these and I think the best thing for latex paint is to #1 strain and thin it, #2 turn the air pressure up to 45-50 psi, #3 keep the spray gun further away than 3-5 inches from the workpiece. That is way too close.

Can you thin exterior latex with water or do you need to use Floetrol?
@Eger1188772 жыл бұрын
@@l5k656 you'll have to look at the thinning directions on the can. Every paint brand and type have their own specific thinning methods. Usually water for latex whether it's interior or exterior but floetrol should work too if that's what you're more comfortable using.

My Critter came with a gasket to make a seal at the top of the jar. I guess it it not really necessary since the jar is open to the atmosphere anyway. Pipe cleaners are good for cleaning the tube and nozzle. Also, if you have trouble getting paint up the tube (like a thick paint) stick a pipe cleaner down the tube while the gun is assembled and there is paint in the jar. Pull the pipe cleaner up, with paint on it from the jar.. This gets paint up into the tube and nozzle. It is like priming a pump. I also use chenille stems for cleaning the tube and nozzle. They are longer than pipe clearers. If you need to thin the paint, use the appropriate solvent. I don't recommend Floetrol, because it just extends the drying time of the paint and I hate waiting.

That will certainly help eliminate moisture from tank and condensation in the airlines from developing and landing on your finished work. If you don't have one, at least drain the water from the compressor tank and keep the air lines off of the cool floor.
