Then I also talked a potter friend into buying one too!

Now I have had some problems with a little dripping of water out of the
tip, while I am spraying the glazes. This mars the glazes. I don't know =
why
this happens or how to fix it. I wonder if I should not buy a new tip =
and
those associated parts to try and see if the glazes have worn some part =
up
at the front of it. Or should I look at using the new and unused needles
that came with the thing when I bought it?! Is that what might have =
worn? I
have hardly used it at all. Maybe four sessions.

My friend wants to buy more bottles to have for the glazes. Neither of =

experience with this sprayer, Harbor Freight and ordering parts ...or
anything related that might help us?! THANKS!

I don't have a dripping problem..........

There's a learning curve for using this sprayer and I'm getting better
at it.......

Now about bottles, I thought it would be a good idea to store leftover
glaze in these, didn't see them in the catalog, called the 800 number,
and was able to order three bottles at about $6 apiece.

THEY HAVE NO LIDS!!!!

I haven't gotten around to complaining to Harbor Freight as yet.
