Hi, Thanks to all for responses. I will post a pic when I get round to doing it. I have a gantry but figure on hanging the finished pieces to dry from that. Not up for a pressure pot as we don’t do enough to warrant it. Gerry, is that what you did to Tom?

Hi I have a good HVLP sprayer in a box in the workshop that rarely gets used but when it does works very well. One of the two reasons it rarely gets used is that it requires very vigorous effort shifting the laden gun about to get the perfect pass. It doesn’t seem heavy at the beginning of the...
