Better fluidizing in the hobby gun?
So I have had many problems with the hobby gun, First with the sticky trigger, which I have to put WD40 on every day to keep it working.
I also have problems with consistant flow. It seems like the powder is not fluidizing properly in the cup. I begin to spray, and powder comes out OK. Then is quicky fizzles down to a fine mist. The airflow stays the same by the way. I shake the gun, and more powder comes out again, and them it fizzles down to a mist. To get descent coverage, I have to continually shake the gun (and I mean violently too) while trying to spray my part. This seems to waste alot of powder. Also doesn't help when I am fading colors and trying to be precise and accurate.
I was thinking of drilling a couple more holes in the piece that sticks up the is supposed to fluidize the air. Maybe getting a little more air circulation in the cup.
Anyone else expereince this problem? Have a fix for it?
