I'm a total newbie when it comes to spray finishes (I've only sprayed spray
paint from a can). I was looking at this guy on the woodcraft website and
it looks like a bargain. I saw a review at the WoodWhisperer and he digs
it.

Anyone here own one and like it? Here is another newbie question. I love
poly. Can I spray poly with this ? How well does it spray paint?

Thanks

We did this a short while ago ...

I have one, still like it, have now used it to shoot shellac ... may
never touch a brush again.

cheers ...
