    Spraying setup?

    I am looking for my first spray setup. As most of you know most of my work is on small projects so I am not looking for a major production setup. Currently I use a lot of rattle can products like Deft. I am thinking lacquer as it dries very fast but I am open. I do not have a spray booth.

    Spraying Stain

    Is there any issue with spraying stain I'm looking at using some Cabot stain and would prefer to spray it instead of wiping it on. I can't think for any reason why it wouldn't work. My gun is able to spray latex so I wouldn't think it would be to thick or am I just missing the boat.. :banana:

    What kind of Laquer/varnish is good for spraying

    When my dad owned his cabinet shop, we'd finish the cabinets with a coat of sealer followed by two coats of deft lacquer. It was applied with a spray system. This was back int the 80's and early 90's and I think it's discontinued now because it was some unhealthy stuff. My question is....what's...

There are 16 pieces so forget the brush and break out the HYLP. I've never sprayed shellac. Some sources say 1.5 lb. cut is the max. Others say a...

    Spraying latex with the Earlex 5000

    First of all, I'm no expert on spray finishes. With the exception of the spray can, this is my first time I haven't used a brush, rag or roller. So keep that in mind. I've been looking at getting a spray gun for a while now. I haven't progressed much beyond BLO and polyurethane, which is nice...
