Not sure if this board has signature rules, but a sig always helps.
2nd, Most of the guys that know about those thing are greasers. Probably not going to help much due to bad experiences helping other people, and then other people not doing what they are told and getting hurt.
Good luck

Oh, okay. Those are beverage containers. Used them when I did window tinting.
I think you'd be better off investing in a Hudson sprayer that will withstand the type of chemicals we use. I have several, my oldest one is probably 4 years old, still working like brand new. The 110 degree fan tip is perfect, and made of brass.

I'll try to put a picture montage together for ya on how to do it... this weekend.
By the way, for you pump-up sprayers out there, you will NEVER buy another pump up sprayer after you have used one of these. You can put as much line as you want (within reason - 100' or so) and it works like a champ. You can use different tips to adjust the spray pattern, etc. It's the way to go if you spray on your chemicals this way.

I can see how the compressed air tanks would be the bomb for doing hoods and vents.
I use my pump up sprayers for small jobs, rust stain treatments, etc. I do flatwork mainly.
I use this for my 10,000 sq ft + projects. 35 gallon tank @ 1.5 GPM. Covers approximately 35,000 sq ft per tank. Takes us 1 minute per 1000 sq ft, on average.

Looks impressive Jim....quick question...how many sq. ft on average can do you lay down before the chems start drying on you? Is that a problem...the drying?
Just curious

The secret sauce we use Carlos we can literately put our chemicals down this morning and they will work just as good an hour from now as they will 2 days from now. Did a 86,000 sq ft project last weekend. Secured our scope of work areas, laid down our secrete sauce, and 10 hours later, we were done (except the exterior glass).
I pieced together that cart spray rig piece by piece. Most parts (besides the 110 degree Tee Jet SS 1.5 GPM fan tip, very hard to locate) was all purchased at Tractor Supply for a few hundred $$$. Paid for itself the first project we used it on.
My friend and colleague that turned me on to the "secret sauce" and the mixing recipe swore me to secrecy. PM me and I can send a request to the "sauce master" and see if he is willing to share the recipe with anyone else.
Anyone that knows me knows I am the first one willing to help my professional colleagues. But more important is that I am a man of my word, and my word is my bond, and I would never disrespect a friends request.

I've has some discussions over the years, some guys swear they keep the sprayers full and pressurized and never rinse them out and never experience an issue.
Once a project is over, we always clean and thoroughly flush our tanks, pumps and/or sprayers, and store them dry.
Great thread.

Leaving chems pressurized if they are not in use is just a disaster waiting to happen!!

Agreed, and can't be good for the seals or anything internal. Takes us 5 to 10 minutes to flush and rinse out equipment. Safety first, only second to taking care of my tools and equipment.
Go Bears !!!!!!
