Announcements : Clean Tip D-Gun: Part 7 in the Gusmer D-Gun Cleaning Series
on Monday, September 04, 2006 - 12:10 PM MST Posted by : Admin
Foam Insulation News A clean D-Gun Tip is your goal even while spraying.  Be sure to carry extra Glycolic Either with you or have it handy with your helper.  A wire brush or a knife also helps to maintain the spray pattern if tits develop during prolonged triggering applications.  Make sure your valving rod comes out to the proper distance just barely past the main valve rod nut shown here or slightly counter-sunk depending on how you like your pattern.
