For context, this video is part 3 of a 5 part series focused entirely on the G100 - the de facto go-to for spraying gel coat and resin. This entire series is just one subsection of an entire section dedicated to a range of fundamental tools I will be exploring in detail in my course on fiberglass mold making (obviously we’ll cover this and use extensively during in person workshops as well).
In other sections we will dive into best practices, materials, procedures, tips and tricks, sourcing and actual fiberglass mold projects starting from zero to chicken scratch to cha-ching!
I thought sharing a teaser like this might give you an idea of the depth and breadth my course will provide and help you think through whether or not that might be something you will find valuable.
Thanks and happy fiberglassing!

great video. As simple as these little tricks and tips sound they are valuable!

Glad you found it helpful!

Awesome video! Very helpful. One suggestion...not good to use silicone grease around GelCoat. It can cause fisheyes. Also, the solvent resistant o-rings used in this gun will deteriorate quickly if you use a petroleum based grease such as vasilene. Best to use liquid soap or some sort of synthetic grease. Never install o-rings dry. They cut easily.

Yezir, thank you!

Great video, can you explain how to and when to adjust the flow knob at the back? Thanks for the tip on the whip... i made one for my setup..

[@fortheartisan]

Thanks man, appreciate the comment. With the whip being close to the tool, I never adjust the flow knob on the gun - I just leave it wide open and dial in the pressure with the regulator on the whip. This is actually the same for all my spray guns and what makes this so nice.
