: Anyone had any experience with the inexpensive Campbell-Hausfeld sprayers. I
: looked at Home Despot this morning and saw one with a plastic canister for
: just over a hundred bucks. It seems like short money to spray varnish on
: the boats annually. Of course it only makes sense if spraying will give a
: better finish than brushing (which I can't seem to do all that well).
: How about with the other coatings we use - LPU? two part paints? Will these
: work well with the HVLP sprayer?
: Thanks for the advice . . .

I have one similar to that and it works, but the gun is not great! I am on the look out for a better gun that will fit the machine.
The nossel and adjustments are.. cheap.. and the screw on cup is inferior to the swing arm? type.
I have't used it to finish a boat ..yet. I still like brushing.
Spraying will give a good finish,but equipment,practice,and a good area to spray are all important.
Time wise, I think I can brush faster than spraying,accounting for set up and cleanup.
Hope this helps your decision
Regards Terry
