I've been spraying glazes much more in the past year than I ever have. I am
wondering about the best spray gun to get for general spraying. I have been
using
Pasche H series airbrush with the #5 tip
An intermediate Pasche Model 62 sprayer,
And inexpensive touchup gun from Sears,
and a 1 Qt. Pressure Pot sprayer from Sears.
I am considering replacing the last two. What do you think of HVLP?
And what are your recommendations regarding brands? And suppliers?
Thanks,
Rick Malmgren

Rick,
I use a Critter, an animal of sorts. It's actually called-- Critter 118
Siphon Gun--
This Gun is great because the glaze does not go through the Gun itself it
only goes up the siphon tube. It comes with a pint container for glaze that
screws on the gun. I have put larger containers on it and also have multiple
containers for different glazes. This is great for production. I have used it
for years.

I've used the Jelly Jar Sprayer available through Continental clay for 10
years. It works great with thick glazes. Just make sure you clean it well
after each use.

Rick, I bought a Reliant, hvlp, gravity feed a couple years ago from
woodworkers warehouse and like it better than the others I have tried. The
cup sits on top and I can use it with or without the lid on so can add
glaze very easily, change it by spraying till clear with water then putting
new glaze in. I removed the filter so the glaze can be a tad thicker but be
sure it is sieved first. If it cloggs dump the glaze, clear with water, put
glaze back in all without unscrewing the container from the spray nozzle.
Bought a second one with quick release valves ( the latter much harder to
find) so I could go back and forth with 2 glazes.
