  • This little gadget works like a dream!
Style: Siphon Gun
I love this sprayer. Our only problem with it was that our compressor wasn't working properly. Once we bought a good compressor, it works amazing. We painted our kitchen cabinets. They look amazing. Very near as good as my friend who had hers professionally painted and for about $1200.00 dollars less, this was a great investment. You will just need a few extra pint mason jars with lids, and it is so easy. We had one mason jar with Kilz in it and another with the paint and a 3rd with mineral spirits. It was so easy to go from one to the other, and clean up is a breeze. A couple of points. 1. Thin the paint. This is imperative. Thin latex with water, and oil based enamel with mineral spirits. A ration of 5:1 is probably good. My husband found a viscosity cup (http://www.amazon.com/TCP-Global®-Thickness-Viscosity-Measuring/dp/B00IL7DVNW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1443468326&sr=8-2&keywords=viscosity+cup) that made all the difference. The correct viscosity was far thinner than we would have ever mixed it. The result was perfection. 2. Play with it a little before actually painting. Get used to how it sprays. Wear a mask. Lots of spray particle got past my mask. Use Vicks or olive oil in your nose or the paint will coat your nose hairs. (yuck) I even covered my face with olive oil which was perfect for clean up afterwards. Olive oil also works in your hair, and your beard and is much better on your skin than mineral spirits. The only thing I wish was that it had a longer tube that could be used with 1 quart mason jars. It would hold more paint and would be able to stand upright (which the small one cannot do when the air hose is attached). But overall this is a great sprayer. I would highly recommend it to anyone. ... show more

  • Don't wait!
Style: Siphon Gun
Best spray painting tool for beginners like me. I bought a $99 pancake air pressure 6-gallon to go with it. It just takes a little practice and boom. I keep the nozzle halfway or a smidgen lower. The thicker the paint, the higher the pressure. For instance, something as thin as stain would need 30 psi but something as thick as latex oil primer, I went as high as 90 psi even after adding Penetrol. I used Floetrol for my latex water based semi-gloss with great success - I used 2-4 oz for every 12 oz of paint. Found out later that for white paint, I should have thinned with water because floetrol may slightly yellow the paint over the years but it looks bright white now. Also when I thinned with water, my results were not as good, but it probably was my distance and pressure combo. You really have to pay attention to distance. If 6" away is giving you a nice finish then be sure to keep that distance otherwise some areas will drip and pool and others will be sparse, The floetrol really helps there making your work very forgiving. TIP: have a hook nearby on the wall or wherever where you can hang the critter. I had to hang it often even in the middle of pieces and if you just lay it down, it may clog your hole - for that I had a tiny wire ready to unclog if needed too. My top coats I used Ultimate Poly water based not thinning at all and only needed 70-80 psi. Really nice for that - no brush marks and a perfect finish. I didn't even clean the jar or critter over three nights and it still sprayed great each morning and cleaned up easily when all the pieces had their final coats. Clean up for me was easy but time consuming because I care. For oil based I used the old-fashioned mineral spirits in the big can- not the ones that are white and thick - they did a horrible job. For water based I used water and a little dawn rinsing well. I was careful with the thin cork rim thing. I took the screws out each time fully disassembling to wash. I used a pipe cleaner for the metal straw part. and I kept all the pieces in a glass bowl on the window ledge to dry so I wouldn't lose the tiny parts. I got so into it after doing a dresser and book shelf, I built a tent in my garage using those huge rolls of cheapest plastic from HD and stapling long sheets to the rafters and letting it hang down. Went around in a square and had clothes pins to hold door closed - Worked great to keep my garage clean and keep painted pieces out of the way of piece being sprayed. I had my pancake outside the tent at a corner, where I could pull apart the plastic to adjust the pressure etc but not have the machines air mess up my paint job. I just had the tubing going under the tent plastic. I used a small ladder to which I attached a hook for hanging my critter and rigged up lights to shine on my piece. I also had a handheld light which helped me see as I sprayed. White on white is really hard to see otherwise. Go for it! I love mine. ... show more

  • Makes spraying much more enjoyable
Style: Siphon Gun
This Critter Spray Gun has been a pleasant surprise. It's a fun tool to use, which says a lot. Spray projects are something I tend to dread, so having a tool that makes it less stressful is very important to me. With this review, I am comparing the Critter to the HomeRight C800766 Finish Max Fine Finish Sprayer. I was underwhelmed by the Home Right product, but the Critter Gun has exceeded my expectations. I have learned that paint spraying really is an art, and also that it takes patience. The quality of my painted projects with the Critter is good, but it's not professional, by any means. For instance, the vanity and cabinet drawers that I sprayed look good, but they are far from flawless. To get a flawless finish, it's important to sand betweens coats, and also do quick passes -- rather than trying to get really full coverage on each coat (because that leads to clumps and/or drips). What do you need to get started using the Critter Gun? - air compressor. If you do not have an air compressor already, and you plan on doing a lot of DIY work around your house, then I believe an air compressor is a wise investment. You can buy a cheap, tiny one from somewhere like Harbor Freight, or you can buy a compressor combo kit (which would include a nail gun and a staple gun) from Home Depot (that's what I did a couple years ago; I have felt it was a worthwhile investment). - 1/4" coupler kit. This should cost you $5 or $6 at your local home improvement store. - buy a box of basic Mason Jars from Wal-Mart or Fleet Farm. The 12 jars I bought at Wal-Mart cost about $8. To save time for a large painting project, you can fill up several Mason Jars at once -- then you can shift out an empty Mason Jar to a fresh one mid-project, as needed. Pros (vs. Home Right Sprayer): - setup and cleanup are faster and easier with the Critter. - more consistent output of paint. This is a big one. With my Home Right sprayer, I was constantly getting derailed by paint clogging in the unit (even after diluting and straining the paint). - the Critter is slightly cheaper (assuming you already have an air compressor). - the Critter has far less issues with paint dripping on the project. Cons (vs. Home Right) - the Critter does not allow you to cover as much ground as quickly as the Home Right (and other sprayers, such as Wagner). While the paint spray is consistent, it is a small stream of paint. So, you need more passes per project. Tips: - others have commented about the flimsy gasket that comes with the Critter, but I have not had any issues with the gasket (after about 10 uses of the gun). I have been careful with the gasket, so as not to rip it. - do strain your paint first. You can buy a cheap strainer at Home Depot or any paint store. Ideally, choose one that has an elastic band that would hold the strainer in place on top of the Mason Jars. - I have used the Critter with both oil-based primer, latex-based primer, and latex paint. The latex paint goes on slick and easy, because it is thinner than primer. The oil-based primer was the toughest of the three liquids I have used. It did leave minor bumps on the project, but that might have been user error on my part. - use Floetrol (sold at all big box home improvement stores) to thin out latex-based paint. - use Penetrol (same maker as Floetrol) to thin out oil-based paint. These paint additives help the paint/primer go on more smoothly. - I have experimented with different PSI (pressure) settings on my air compressor. I have used anywhere from 30-90 PSI. The thicker the paint/primer you are applying, the more pressure you need (in my experience). Just test out different pressure levels on cardboard or paper that you have laid down for the project. - ideally, have your subject pieces laid flat down on the ground, rather than vertical against a wall. This helps you avoid drips. - great lighting really helps. Ideally, utilize shop lights above you. This helps you see where you have already sprayed vs. what else on the project needs to be sprayed. - I have been doing two coats of primer and one or two coats of the finish paint color. ... show more
