3 different products.


I know EXACTLY what you are talking about, Leon. I had two and took
them both back. I NEVER would have tried another one if that guy
hadn't had one in his garage.


Robert I bought a Wagner spray gun in the early 80's and took it back, I
never even used it past trying to get it to work. A few years later I
bought the Wagner Power roller to paint the outside of my house. I did a
little inside painting first and the thing seemed to do the job pretty well.
Then I tried it outside and apparently did not sterilize every itsey bitsy
teeny weenry part after the previous use. I could not thin the latex paint
down enough for the pump to push the paint through the hose. After a couple
of hours of thinning the paint finally flowed but poured out of the roller,
uncontrollably. I then proceeded to go into a fit and slammed the roller
into the outside wall there by changing it's shape for ever. ;~) It did
not help but I felt better. It then went straight into the trash can. A
few years later, you guessed it, I bought the Wagoner "Paint Stick" The
syringe style paint roller. It worked pretty darn well for several years,
then a buddy showed me one of those tall paint buckets to dip your roller in
and I tossed the Paint Stick.
