Did a monster of a pergola with it this morning in 3.5 hour nonstop. Didn't bother stirring product as any drop out there may have been would have been coming right out the gun.
Cleanup goes fast with not a bit of mess and the collumn diameter helps if anything to steer the product right to the uptake tube inside.
Goes as such....ya pop air hose off, pop the air release valve built into lid, flip lid off real quik and dump excess product via funnel back to container. Then you close it up and turn your air off at gun and spray a straight stream from the hose into container till hose is clear and all ya got is air coming through product line. Open it back up and pour in maybe 2 cups of spirits and spray that though into an empty jug. Yer done....
Used only one rag today for cleanup and so I'm happy with that. I don't like to have the fire hazzards associated with numerous oil soaked items if I can help it.
I have this tomato cage type wire mesh thing with a bottom flange that makes it real stable on any surface. Can either drop tank right in or if I place the cage over the tank it would take the hoses to the ground preventing any tip over situation. With the 100' worth of hose I got no problem with pulling on it though at all. Turns out since the cage thing sticks up past top of tank it holds them big wide mouth red funnells from Ace perfect for filling tank. They got a screen in the bottom that prioveds a little prefiltering. Still haven't stuck a filter down inside the tank on the uptake tube. Not sure if I want or need to...

Its impressive that you made that. I have not used this tupe of sprayer before. I will ask some questions that most will find quite novice:
1. Doy you put an air hose from a compressor on a valve to pressurize the tank?
2. Do you need to back pad, or back bush?
Thanks for taking the time to help me with this. I have an oldschool paint sprayer, and a sureflow type. I assume the pot type with a gun would come out like a can of spraypaint?
