Hi all,
The hand-held 'bug spray' applicator works ok, but lacking the desire to
sieve every glaze to eliminate particles that clog the little nozzle, what
small compressor with a small 'cup-gun' would be fairly inexpensive and easy
to find?
If I had one I could keep cups of glaze as needed, instead of having to
wash the bug-sprayer all the time.
If any of you know of a little touch up gun with extra cups and a small
compressor, I'd very much appreciate the name and source. I know there must
be simple cup guns as take a standard 'jars' like the small mayonnaise jars,
which are easy to find.
I just do not know who makes them!
Thanks!!!!

Hi!
I use EZE spray gun, I sieve but purposely do it with a screen out of a kitchen sieve
about 30#, to have bigger particles coming through.
see the results in this page

note what the big iron particles are doing the glaze.
You can buy with extra jars. You can use any of your jars: make two holes a bigger
one for the pipe and a smaller one for air streaming. hold the jar under the light weight
spray gun-top and spray or connect it in any other way.
You can buy it from
http://www.bigceramicstore.com/

I see now, in this shop they sell the jars for 2$ I might order some more jars, myself.
There is a problem that extra jar will not help. as the glazes are settling down, you
must re sieve them before use. In this case I prefer to do it from a bigger jar
To make the sieve I cut out a small piece, that fit into a half litter jar I get with supply
from my supplier. I made a hole in the lead and glued to it the sieve. I cut the bottom of
the sieve and use it upside down. I made it because I could not buy a small sieve.
Even these days when I have a smaller sieve I use it because of the reasons I wrote
before. and because it is the only sieve that fits the EZE jar exactly.
