On Spray Guns,
I just returned from giving two workshops in Vegas. I stayed with Tom & Elaine Coleman and watched the video Tom & Paul Geil had professionally shot and edited with a complete how to--from setting up, application, cleaning, compressors, you name it--there probably is not a more comprehensive spraying video out there. This special spray gun that Paul designed is pretty amazing. I would highly suggest to people looking into this spray gun via Paul Geil http://www.kilns.com/ or Tom Coleman CeledonQueen@aol.com . All parts are stainless including the needle and the housing--a drilled nozzle (with multiple holes for atomizing) so you can spray ash glazes or whatever you like. You may want to check it out. Gun is $39.95 and video is $14.95 or $49.95 for the video and gun together.

Cheap is cheap and Harbor Freight is junk to the hundredth power. I
tried Harbor Freight once, and once is enough. Their tools may be
cheap, but buying cheap tools is like cheap paint. You do it again. It
doesn't last. i tried their 100 pc set of titanium coated drill
bits....$21 bucks or so. They are all broken and in the trash heap.
Garbage in garbage out.
I would not buy anything ever again from them. And it sounds like this
spray gun is a case in point. Buy a good one the first time. i don't
quite understand the conundrum of valuing your work and putting time
and effort into it and then buying el cheapo tools that in this case,
mars the glaze finish.
I use a Deviliblis Automotive HVLP spray gun.About $200 at Graingers.
Balistic and unless you beat on it it will last a lifetime. No runs, no
drips, a perfect smooth coat.
Respectfully,
Jonathan
