Greetings,

I am shopping for a spray gun and just got stomped when I thought I was
doing so well. :) I read that some of you bought one, but nobody mentioned
tip size.

The L Sprayer comes in four tip sizes for light to heavier glazes. What is
the definition of light and heavy?

Thank you,

Fabienne trying to figure out which one she needs :)

Yes, I have learned from my mistakes...
I can reproduce them exactly.

The gravity feed spray gun we use has nozzles (tips) in 4 sizes,
1.5 mm, 1.7 mm, 2.0 mm & 2.5 mm.
The usual size nozzle size for use here is 2.0 mm.
Bear in mind we like thick glaze coats, so, thick glaze slop.
Think full cream milk, not skim.
Can't stand thin glazes, or light beer, or underproof rum.

ps on reflection our glaze slop is more like yoghurt :)
