Re: Silvering with Hand Held Triger Sprayers
Ismael,
I just found a great tool for you.
You have mentioned that you do not trust your spraygun due to oil and water conteminations.
Therefore you use the handguns etc. which are just for small stuff.
If you want to professionalize the compressed vair easily you can use this tool:]

The only filter to use is a new toilet paper roll.
If it is getting dirty, replace the old for a new one.
Again a lot of money, but thought you might be interested.

Re: Silvering with Hand Held Triger Sprayers
Marvin, you certainly are dedicated to making this work. I'm very impressed.
The reason we don't carry the red dual chamber spray bottles any more is because they get clogged very easily. The silver and the reducer tubes mix the chemicals together inside the nozzle which causes silver metal to build up inside the sprayer. You have to take the whole assembly apart to clean it out almost every time you use it.
That's why we invented the Pump Spray Kit which acts just like Paasche's dual chamber gun where the chemicals mix together outside the sprayer. There are no parts to clean and no air compressor. We have a video of the Pump Sprayer on our website at http://angelgilding.com/PumpSpraySilverVideo.html Also the Pump Sprayer holds twice as much silver and the red sprayer - and half as much silver as the Paasche spay bottles. It's our latest attempt to make the mirroring process as simple as possible.
