New spray gun in the workshop. Testing it.

Greetings

Recently I decided to buy myself a new spray gun. The old one has long demanded replacement ...

The old spray gun has served me for several years, but nothing lasts forever and it has several problems. The first - the button began to sink from the paint that got in. I cleaned it once, it helped too at times. The second problem is a broken torch shape regulator.

Although I glued it on, I can't get a round shape for spraying paint, and besides, this flag at times falls off again or starts to pass air at the bonding point and the shape of the torch when spraying distorted.

It's time to change. I didn't do much searching and decided to take a spray gun of the same type.

It is about the same as I had, only when adjusting the shape of the torch there is already nothing to break.

In this spray gun, the turbine is disconnected from the spray gun. The tank has a volume of 800 ml. Adjustment of the paint supply is implemented as in most similar spray guns, that is, the regulator on the trigger limits the distance of the needle to the nozzle. And of course the density of the paint matters.

I decided to test this spray gun on my furniture. Now I am slowly making a kitchen for myself. The enclosures are made of plywood and require painting. I tested them on them.

I prefer to work with water-based varnishes and paints and here I will use this varnish.

I first tried such a varnish last fall when making decorative partition.

I liked the varnish at work. It is diluted with water, it fits well on the wood, you can get the color you want by simply mixing the base colors of the varnish.

If, when working with this varnish on pine, the first layer is applied to a minimum, then you can get a positive color.

Since the varnish is water-based, it lifts the pile well, so after each layer I do an intermediate sanding.

When painting, I try to get the color closest to the desired one.

In general, when I first use it, I am satisfied with this spray gun and I hope in the future it will serve well and for a long time.

I also suggest watching a video clip for clarity.
