    PCing Tight Areas

    I bought a Caswell gun a few weeks ago and am getting the hang of it but am having problems with one item I want to PC. It seems I just can't get the power down into a groove as the power is attracted to the higher area.

    I am attaching a picture of the item and as you can see it is pretty small. The arrow is pointing the area that I am having a hard time coating. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get to this area it would be very helpful.

    Try taking the tip off and getting in there as close as you can, or with the tip off stay back a little ways and don't point at it.
    Works for me..
    Also, you could preheat the part and spray it warm... never had much luck with that though...

      This is what I use on my gun. A guy built a couple of these. Fits on the ends of the hobby gun.

          the Farraday Killer!!!!! I always coat smaller parts & tight corners without a tip & I am usually satisfied. I am going to have to try 1 of these FK's!!

            That little tip is kinda interesting. Looks easy to build. Usually for corners I take the tip off and just spray like that and it works great. Actually the last couple part's I've done, I coat the whole peice with the tip off, not just the corners.

                Thanks for the help and ideas everyone. After some experimenting I found shooting close with no tip and real slow (barely pull the trigger) I was able to get decent coverage without too much coverage on the other areas. Below is a pic of how it turned out.

                Be kind, I'm a newbie at this and this was done over a bead blasted surface so it's not super smooth.

                  Do you have any dimensions &/or plans for the attachment ? Or would your friend sell any of these ? Would definitely like to try this out. TIA Steve

                      Nice job! I use the same method. Also, if you preheat the part I have found that to help as well!
