Will a Critter spray gun work to spray dye-based stain?
I've only got a portable compressor, something like 2.7 CFM @ 90 PSI.
It's not yet time to upgrade to a "shop" compressor, although that time will eventually come. The bottom line is that my compressor doesn't near have the ponies to power a conventional or HVLP gun. Rockler (among others) sells a product called a Critter siphon spray gun: http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/product...erings_id=2002 It's specs fall within the meager minimum specs of my hotdog. I know it isn't the kind of quality a "real" spraygun has, but at $40, it might be able to delay my purchasing a $500 compressor and a $100 gun. At present, the only thing I would like to be able to do is spray toner/glazing, primarily using dyes rather than pigments. Does anyone have any experience using this gun to spray dye-based stains? Can it spray a fine enough mist to provide even coverage? Thanks for any advice. |
