Tools and Hardware Reviews of Critter Spray Products 22032 118SG Siphon Gun

Customer Review: Can't beat it for the price
Summary: 5 Stars

This is my first spray gun of any kind. I haven't used any kind of finish spay system since highschool shop class so I'm not going to be the best judge of comparative ease of use and quality through extensive personal knowledge. However, I have a critical eye and don't tolerate sloppy finish jobs.

That said, I am very pleased with this gun. I read reviews from everywhere about various spray guns and this one stacked up pretty well in other peoples' estimation so I decided to give it a go -- not much of a gamble dollarwise. I can pretty much buy any tool I need (want?) and was looking at some $900 HVLP systems. My wife was ready to support whatever I decided to buy.

It seemed like the more expensive HVLP systems would work great but might require a bit more maintenance, care, and storage space. This siphon gun has very little to clean and if you have plenty of gaskets, and keep it clean, you have nothing to worry about.

As for performance, I am very happy with the results. I have been a roller/mini roller guy when it comes to paint applications over the years. I have been building cabinets for home and hobby for over 20 years and while I typically prefer a natural wood finish, I decided this most recent project would be painted. I really love the results the Critter gave me. It took a bit of fiddling to set the spray nozzle and the compressor pressure for the best results but that's true of any tool with moving parts.

I used basic Glidden latex highgloss paint, mixed at Home Depot. I have not used any other type of finish yet, and may not in the foreseeable future as I am on a roll with paintgrade built-ins and am not likely to stop in the next year or so.

TIPS:
For paint: Buy Flowtrol and use medium paint strainers. The only problem I had was initially I neglected to strain the paint and eneded up with some paint chunks clogging things up. It was an easy fix -- but easily avoided if you strain beforehand.

Compressor: I used my 6 gal PorterCable pancake compressor I got with a finish nailer a few years back. Make sure you drain the water from the tank on your compressor before you start.

Stand: I read a lot of reviews saying the gun keeps tipping over. It has a hook on top if you have a place to hang it. I don't have such a place. I built a little box that fits the jar faily well and then attached the box to the center of a larger piece of 3/4 plywood (12"x12"). This allows me a place to put the gun down for a minute without it turning over.

Gaskets: Buy extra gaskets. They're made of paper and you may use a few "learning" about how to deal with this tool.
