Hi all,
The Lexington Arts and Crafts Ceramic Guild needs a compressor for
spraying glazes. The usage will be relatively light. To minimize noise,
we plan to buy a compressor with a tank. We would greatly appreciate any
recommendations for us re brand, power and/or source. What should we
look for and what should we avoid?

Hello,

I have a 110 volt 20 gallon Sears compressor and found out the hard way that
its aluminum cylinder wears away under the influence of clay. Rebuilding it
was almost as much as it cost new. All the other parts of it are well made,
and I still use it as a backup to the 60 gallon compressor.

Also, it was/is awfully loud. Either as loud as the big one I use now, or
maybe with a more penetrating sonic print.

Were it me looking, I'd look for a different brand with an iron cylinder.
