#62 spray gun bottle replacement

I like the Paasche #62 spray gun for glazes, but really don't like the small 3oz
glass bottle that comes with it. The art supply store where I purchased it, knew of
no other bottle sizes for it, so I wandered around my house looking for suitable
replacements. Most generic vitamin bottles work, but my favorite is the large
bottle for Mylanta Calci Tabs. It will hold about a half pint of glaze, plus you
can see through it. For larger amounts the 2 quart vinegar bottle was just the
ticket. When I needed to extend the intake tube, I purchased 1/4 inch vinyl tubing
at the hardware store and cut to length.

Hope this tip helps, Ken
