i have been using the geil spray gun for almost as long as they have been
advertising it, and i find it a very good spray gun, there is a adjustment
on the handle which allows one to control the pressure, i have a additional
control i put on the hose before the handle which is more convenient for me
to use. i don't pay attention to the psi, i adjust by the spray pattern.
have a regulator on the spray booth, where i connect the spray gun, which i
set to 40 psi, the only time i use this pressure is to clean the gun between
different glazes and to spray clean the booth, when glazing i adjust the
pressure for the effect i want. i have never used the gun at anywhere near
40 psi even with thick glazes, it is a excellent spray gun. by the way i
have used and own a true hvlp gun which has its own air source, bought it
used in about 1983 for over $100 it sits in my store room unused, not at all
as easy to use as the geil gun. i felt compelled to answer this email as i
feel you have unfairly knocked a very good product, why don't you try it.

I would never buy the Geil gun no matter how well it works, because they are
advertising it as a HVLP gun and it is not one. It has no step-down
regulator on the input port, and they recommend using it at 30 to 50 PSI,
and therefore, by definition, is not a HVLP gun. The whole idea of a HVLP
gun is that it works on much lower pressure (generally 6 to 10 PSI) and has
a much higher transfer rate, which means that there is far less overspray
and thus far less waste. Geil makes these super-quality kilns and everyone
seems happy with the kilns, so I am baffled as to why they would risk their
reputation and credibility by misrepresenting this gun with false
advertising.
