Spray guns

:thumbup: I have a cheap cue that I use as a Lance to Joust with....and I have a custom built sidecart that I use for my high end cues:grin:
 
i bought an Iwata LPH-80 which is a LVLP smaller sized gun with a 1.0 needle.they also have the LPH-50 and LPH-100 which are are all smaller guns but the bigger numbers are slightly bigger.so far it works great.they are comparable to SATA and i think either will do great.we also have a Harbor Freight gun in the shop and while it works fine,there really is no comparason.
 
quality gun

I use a Kremlin for wood finishing with about 92% transfer efficency.. Great gun but $$$$
 
Sata Mini Jet

Buy one on-line or ebay...
They out-perform ALL THE OTHERS...
Just Keep the Gun CLEAN !!!
It will last forever

Anyone who was taught to use linseed oil, either boiled or raw, had a fool for a teacher. Years ago I read a number of articles on finishes wanting the best for both looks and protection. I ran across, and still have an article that was put out by Fine Woodworking Magazine that was a study on the affects of different finishes and the transfer of moisture on wood products. The very best was a coat of paraffine that completely sealed the wood and allowed no transfer of moisture what-so-ever so was rated at 100. The absolute worst was Linseed oil that actually attracted moisture and was rated at -3.0. All the other types of finishes were somewhere in between with all of the oil finishes near the very bottom of the list as far as moisture protection.

As usual, the Brits are a century behind in technology.

Dont be daft it's bugger all to do with technology.

I agree laquer and varnish will do a far better job of repelling moisture than oil alone but if a shaft has either finish it glides through ones bridgehand like a derailed train in comparison.

Warping isn't so commonplace in two piece cues anyway lacquering or varnishing them is an overkill to solve the problem.

oh and anyone who thinks oil attracts water is a muppett. :roflmao:

I agree with all those endorsing the Sata MiniJet models here. I never had any experience with a spray gun and once I "figured it out", the finish you can spray with the Sata is pretty darn nice. I also agree about the inline pressure regulator at the gun.....get one. I asked several cuemakers prior to my purchase and they all said to invest in a good gun.
 
I looked at mine and the handle says "sharpe SGF" I did not see any other numbers anywhere. As I recall it has a 1.0 needle in it. Chris.
