HVLP Sprayer

[stoneskippers]

Woodcraft has this HVLP sprayer on sale for $99. I bought the same one at Harbor Freight about 3 months age, same price, and have not used it. Mainly because I have not had anything to spray and I really don't know what I'm doing. Has anyone used one of these and I could use some guidance and advice. :BangHead:

Sorry I don't have real insight, but put some water in it and spray some cardboard to get a little feel for it. I have sold a few at work and I am waiting for one of the people who bought them to report back to me on their impressions.

I asked a similar question on another thread and it elicited some very interesting replies.

I have the HF version. I got it mostly some adirondak chairs I was making for a while. For what it is, it works pretty well. You have to thin down paints and I haven't used stains throught is. I did use it for a louvered door and it worked well. For nice furniture though, I be careful with it. Just remember that you are getting what you pay for!
