please - now Panitec Ceramic Spray gun
Hi Gay - I also bought the paintec ceramic spray gun - but for adding bits
of sprayed oxides here and there. It did not work except if the mix (usually
rutile/colemanite/iron etc) was very thin and then it would tend to settle
out. They now advertise larger nozzle openings and so I bought those but now
I just get a straight stream. So very frustrating, as the few times that it
did work it was great for getting larger splatters as highlights than our
regular spray gun. Maybe someone has had success with this. It definitely is
not for covering a whole pot with glaze.

Subject: spray gun compressor guidance, please
I bought the "Paintec ceramic spray gun", a pump action device requiring no
compressor. Seemed like a good way to try out spraying glazes. BUT I can't
get it to operate as I expected. It has little by way on instruction but I
don't think it is going to do what I want to do.
So my question is if I get the "HVLP Deluze Glaze Spray Gun" what must I buy
by way of a compressor? I know NOTHING about such things so could not
determine what I needed by looking at Harbor Freight on line. Any help out
there? I want the smallest (and least expensive) compressor that will work
because I have a VERY small space for my ceramic work, though I will
probably use it outside I still have to store it inside. But I want it to
be adequate to the task and not find that I have bought something else that
does not serve.
Thanks for any help. Gay Judson, deep in the heart of Texas, San Antonio
