Subject: Harbor Freight HVLP Sprayer
Many claybuds responded to my statement
about the Harbor Freight sprayer being
good enough for me if it was good enough
for Tom Coleman... haven't received such
a confluence of responses to a post since
I wrote offering a chart of Lichen
recipes if a claybud requested one. (Nope,
I don't have those around anymore....)
My responses were from dozens of potters
who've been in The Life about the same
length of time that I have. I also had
many, many posts from Gurus and those-who-
could-be-if-fill-in-the-blank, saying that
they, too, use the HF HVLP and are very
happy with it.
How rewarding!!
In answer to your questions.... MY sprayer
has a label on it that says Professional;
it's listed in the on-line catalog as Item
34944.... Central Pneumatik.. gravity feed
high volume... low pressure... spray gun.
Features are:
* A wide fan pattern due to low pressure
* A high transfer efficiency and fast
working speed that helps save time and
paint
* Less air polution because of the reduced
spray mist.
"The stainless steel needle and fluid tip
lets you use the spray gun with water-born
materials. The spray gun's design makes it
easier to operate and maintain."
Item 34944 - September 1997
If you wrote to me with a specific question
which I have not answered here, please
write again and re-ask. And, yes, if Geil
is truly making his own spray gun and IF
I can get a Spraying workshop, I'll
undoubtedly buy Geil's.
Thank you.

In the Mojave where my Tom Coleman clay
finally arrived today!!! I had hoped to
catch his and Horsely's workshop in Ojai
this weekend, but no go.
Word of Caution: If you want to register
for a workshop, do so early on. The host
for the workshop must get ducks in order
at minimum 4 or 5 weeks ahead, especially
when the presenter is well-known. I heard
today that often a workshop could be filled
the last 5 or 6 days alone but that's not good
enough. I used to depend on being able to
weasel my way in at the last minute. Not
gonna work any more .... I want a quality
..... high quality.... workshop within a
certain geographical range... therefore,
I have to quit procrastinating and get on
my horse early.... will do...
