I need to spray multiple coats of water based poly, with 2 hrs waiting time between coats. Do I have to clean the gun immediately after every coat?

Yes, if you don't it will clog up and you will have lots of problems. Cleaning is pretty easy though, so not too much trouble. Lots less trouble than clogged :)

No - If using on bare aluminum it will require wash down with a suitable solvent, then prime and use R/O above or below water line paint - 2 coats.

Yes. Please use a metal container as it is very strong solvent. You MUST use the special roller coming from the package. Other roller will be melt very quickly. Please wear a good mask as smell is very strong and may be not good to your health. Mix half of paint + epoxy at a time so you can do two coats. Plan well where you will start so not corner yourself. Try to finish one coat from one end to the other. Do not overlay if possible as it will break your roller - dry really fast! Cannot be perfect, but try cover every area. If missed in first coat, pay attention on second coat (wait for 24 hours). The paint is sufficient (barely) for two coats. Good luck. Yes. Please use a metal container as it is very strong solvent.

No, brass doesn't have to be tumbled after cleaning. If it is really dirty range brass, I tumble for 15-20 mins prior to the sonic. Than I pop the primers out. Finally 10-30 mins in the machine -- rinse with tap water -- let dry -- begin loading. With long brass (.223 .22-250 .270 ) I spray with Hornaday case lube remove primers and sonic. When reloading my own brass that doesn't hit the ground or lay around for long time, it only takes 5-10 mins. You will have to experiment a little like I did to see what works best for you. Great product --- recommend to all! Good Luck !

I just used it with Duracoat over the weekend. It worked fine except being my first time using one of these guns, I sprayed on too thin of material/too much air, so the paint dried before hitting the surface. I was trying to be a little careful, but I might need to redo the Duracoat now. Lesson learned, get the right air/material mixture.

I would highly suggest that you would consider using a Gloss Water Base Polyurathane product. Application is much easier and a great deal less toxic. Several coats may be applied on the same day due to the rapid drying time. Good LUck

I think I read that you have to apply more than one coat. I haven't tested mine; sounds like I need to.

You should clean the rifle after 200 shots because the pellets do not leave residue in barrel that much...look on you tube for cleaning pointers. ....

I was confused by this too, but it just means that these Gel base and top coats need to be soaked off. Use a cotton ball with pure acetone then wrap with a square of tin foil and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. That is how I was taught. I do know that they do make kits like "BMC UV Gel Nail Art Polish Acrylic Aluminum Nail Wrap Soaking Pad Remover Kit" but it is less expensive to just use acetone and tin foil. Do a search for the kit here on Amazon.

I live in Texas and was working at around 85-90 degrees F. I had trouble with fast drying paints drying in/on and clogging up the sprayer. You might want to try clearing most of the poly by spraying water/detergent solution through the sprayer with the second cup. Then, put the spray tip in water/detergent solution and place a damp rag on the open spray head--not the entire sprayer--while you wait. Certainly, the poly can stay in the cup if it is capped.

When the remaining paint in the bottle dries up, simply add a touch of hot water to it, a little at a time and stir it with a round tooth pick till it starts to mix, but better yet and much more efficient, I tape it to a vibrating tumbler I have to clean my dirty, fired pistol brass. It's already water based anyway so you can't hurt it with water.

U can finish 3 deck if U do same time. Make sure U use anti-corrosive solution to prime the sprayer. It will not work with water to clean up the nozzle. It is a very low end model. Otherwise U can't even finish 3 deck. U can do it if U know how to keep it with extensive care.

Just one coat is enough, it is self Seattle paint if it's not look good you can do other one after it's dry .it should dry in 24 hr or 48 hr is most. Now as you have paint is not dry so don't use until you see it's dry other wise it is get wrinkly when you use it.

Paint sprayed through any small gun should always be filtered (easier than stopping to clean the gun). The gun is easy to use and it doesn't take long to get use to the fluid, pattern, and air controls. Plus, the gun is easy to clean and maintain. It is easier to spray if you have 4 to 5 c.f.m. of clean air.Have fun, paint your world bright colors.

Is that a question? You're looking to spray glue with this gun? I'm not familear with wildwood glue, but any glue would have to be pretty thin and the gun cleaned as soon as you're done spraying. This is just my opinion, I have never sprayed adhesives thru my gun.

I run a couple swabs of M-Pro 7 gun cleaner down the barrel first. Next I run the copper remover down the barrel as instructed. It works wonders.

Hornady makes a gun parts cleaner (black label) for their sonic cleaner II. Follow the instructions. It works great. Supposed to be ok for all types of finishes...(Mine is stainless). Cleanest my Kimber has ever been.
