Hi MJ, all...



Pardon me, I spoke in haste and it just occurred to me to clearify what
might be a significant point -


If the Spray Gun is made of a Die Cast Zink or Aluminum Alloy, prolongued
pre-soaking, or prolongued soaking in the solutions I mentioned, should
probably be avoided ( but would not likely harm anything even then if it is
a mild or medium strangth solution)...while having the solutions in the gun
to run it through, or a short soak, even if fairly stout, should be
fine...rinse and shoot plain water through once done, to clean out any
leftovers.

Hi - I am using a Paasche 62-2-3 sprayer for glaze and occasionally I will
have issues with clogging. I have always been able to clear it up with
water, but now it seems to need something more. What kind of solvents do
you recommend for the sprayer?

Thanks in advance for your help. MJ

Hi MJ,



Hot Water with Vinegar...

Or, maybe...as a seperate possibility...

Tepid Water with Ammonia...

Even dismantle, soak in either of these, and then put the aqueous mixture
and the Air to it...


Might do it...
