It'a a nice little gun that will shoot "almost"
anything. Easy to clean but remember, it's a
very small pattern and takes more time to finish
a project.

It's not really designed for spraying a
set of kitchen cabinets but fine for simple chair
or table.

As a side benefit, it shoots latex paint just fine.

I have one. I use it. It's easy to clean, does a good job on a small
compressor.

Regular mouth. I have the critter gun and like it for small jobs. The only
drawback I see is the tendency to get dry material at the siphon point where
the air stream sucks up the finish. But a little cleaning takes care of
this. Larry

Unfortunately I can't access the internet right now to check the price at
Rockler
but Leevalley.com carries them as well and if I remember correctly, they
were very
competitively priced.
cheers,

It works all right for water based poly, too. Thin it some, depending on
temperature, etc.

It's not an Apollo. It's $50, though.

Patriarch,
who has used his maybe twice?

Regular. But the ones that work best are the ones you buy anyway, when
purchasing bottled peaches, salad dressing or spaghetti sauce.

Don,

The only thing I have sprayed with mine is Shellac, but it worked great for
this.

Looks like a big honkin airbrush. Interesting design.

Or pint if that's your druthers... I like the fact that I can store
material (like shellac) in mason jars and then just plunk the spray
top onto the jar and spray. Grab another jar with solvent and it's
cleaned out. Very convenient.
