SATA Spray Gun

Post by Bob Connor » Sun Dec 16, 2007 12:09 pm

Used the new Sata yesterday and applied some of the knowledge gleaned from Allens tutorial.

I must say I'm very impressed with the results.

I got a much better flow out with less runs than I had been achieving from the $75 Bunnings special.

Should mean less work level sanding and therefore less chance of a sand through.

It might be a bit hard to see but here's a pic of the neck of the Blackwood 12 string I'm building, before sanding.

I love the look of the neck. It's got a real Tassie Tiger look about it.

Thanks again for the tips Allen - absolutely invaluable.

Looking good Bob, and I'm pleased that the info helped you out. Many of you have helped me out without even knowing it, so a big thanks to all of you.

Sata guns are the best. I've been using an NR-95 and a Mini-Jet for about 15 years now, and all you have to do is replace the parts that wear out from time to time. Even when the thing is way past rebuild time, it sprays well. These are "buy once" items.
