This thread has indeed run a lot of years. I strongly suspect the makers
want you to keep buying them, grin.

I cleaned it out afterward with the appropriate aerosol can of cleaner
attached -- kept the trigger pressed and waited until it was coming
through clear -- but the second time I came to use it about a week
later, it's just not working.

The trigger and the valve at the end of the barrel move freely, there's
no obvious obstruction at the inlet valve and I've reattached the can of
cleaner and tried to blast it through again, but it ain't having it.

What is the best way to get it working again or is it a binner? Can
these thing she disassembled and cleaned successfully or is it full of
ping****its that never fit back together again?

Any useful advice welcome. It was fun while it lasted.....

Hi, if anyone is struggling with guns seizing up, I also bought a metal
bodied bond it gun which failed after a few months. I had religiously
cleaned it with gun cleaner but it gradually seized up. I then bought
amore expensive gun from screwfix which is Italian and it clearly stated
to NEVER remove from foam can which is what I have been doing for the last
3 yearswith no problems. You have to always keep a can on it though so
when you come to use it after a few months for example, you scrape
hardened foam off tip give it the necessery shake and you,re away!! All
the best Jon
Hey Jonathan, what brand is the Italian one?
