Have any of you used the Preval Sprayers and what kind of success did you have with them?

Mike I buy these in bulk when they are an sale for under $7....and I use them as disposables for clear and colored dope
I used to try and keep the tubes and spray nozzels clean but too much grief...

The Nozzels are NOT good for fine detail and you must thin 50% or More in my experience to prevent sputter

I much prefer these to the 1" sable hair brush for doping large areas....just faster for me

Bottom line I like them for projects that setting up the HF compressor, line, filter, detail gun...is sort of a PITA --and then I am obligated to clean the gun...preval sprayer with 1 oz left over...in the trash...done!

Thanks for the link, Fred.  I've a project or two that can use these.  The last time I used one was on a fabric repair of my full size Experimental biplane about 20 years ago.

the propellant cans are $3.97 at our local Home Depot.
They do carry other Preval accessories as well.

At McFadden Dale hardware I found some 2 oz bottles that screw right onto the Preval power unit. Much better size for most of my work! I just cut the pickup tube to fit.
Think S.M.A.L.L. y'all and, it's all good, CL, FF and RC!
