Wonderful support and great information, as usual! =20

My thanks to Mike, Ric, Vince Randall and Lori who gave me the help I
needed. =20

Randall sent some info on operating the Paintec spray gun properly--I
wasn't! Hate to admit that I could not understand the simple =
instructions
but since I let the world know that I was disappointed in the product I =
need
to let the world know that it is working as advertised now. It does
continue to spray without pumping long enough for me to give my =
(sluggish)
banding wheel another push. =20

So this morning I am a happy camper! It is still a lot of work, much =
more
labor intensive than having a compressor and spray gun I am certain. =
But
now I can postpone buying the compressor until we move and I have a =
"real"
(garage) studio! =20

I am grateful for the info on compressors as I WILL get one when we move =
and
now I can be watching for one and know what I am looking for.

Thanks to all. Gay Judson
