I had two jobs in mind when I purchased a Campbell Hausfeld air compressor and a general purpose spray gun. I bought an air compressor first and then a shower gun on my next payday. I went with the same design as the compressor because of its reputation and consistency.
My father had an air compressor in his shop and used several air tools including several from Campbell Hausfeld. I’m not sure if the model of the rough gun is the same as the one he had, but I know his spray gun is almost identical to the one I bought and am trying.
I remember that there are several brass instruments from this popular manufacturer and I would like to buy this brand even though they cost a little more. They tended to take longer and sometimes use some of the rougher, cheaper ones.
Campbell Hausfeld DH3800 spray gun external mix spray gun for many uses around the home, farm or small business. The spray gun can be used in two ways so you can have two types of compressor setups with it.
You can use them as bloodthirsty or non-bloodthirsty. This really just means that you have air running through the gun at all times when you set it up as a sniper and only when you pull the trigger in a bloodbath This way you can use this set with compressors that have an air tank (non-bleeder) and it pumps air< /a> continuously without tank (bleeder).
I have a smaller tank and compressor, but the gun still works well with the spray gun. I noticed this for the first time on the cards I have. The first job I did was painting a wall of a building for a friend. Some flat painting a house using a concrete block and let it go in the end.
I lowered the paint and it was a quick job. The wall is rather rough and has an odd resemblance to the one who built it. They cut the concrete blocks in half and have the rough ends cut out to create a two-inch-wide strip of concrete running along the wall that protrudes about two inches.
This part leaves a log that protrudes the entire two-inch length of the wall, with these intermediate channels being painted. Needless to say, I wanted to paint this gun, with a brush it would always take and a roller would be impossible.
The gun does quite well. You can quickly tell when the ink is too thick, it doesn’t come out of the gun well and if it’s too thin, it runs a lot. I didn’t have a problem like pulling the gun out of the box and using it for the first time.
This is what I like about the tool, it’s easy to use without much setup. I read the pamphlets and warnings. The book says to use both respirator mask and eye protection. This is useful and not difficult.
I was in the military and he paints some really nasty pictures of guys on missiles without proper protection. This is the only thing I seek for my salvation.
I used goggles and a mask, although not bad, I was outside and it was a little windy all day. The my protective eye glasses kept him from being shot by someone. I took off the goggles and found some small dots in them.
It was latex paint and it comes out with water but it helps with prescription glasses.
If you are using the spray gun indoors or in an enclosed space, you must use these protections. If you use paints or things like lacquers or enamel-based paints, you need to have really decent breathing masks. A simple mask is effective, but you need to get better when you use more harmful and harmful paints.
Something that I see and have no problem with is that the end is a bit more stuck. This brings us to the first point of necessary tools and things to carry around when you do your painting job with shotguns, in addition to protective gear of course.
It is necessary to keep a pin handy to help unclog the ear. When I used a gun with latex paint tip, it will take a little bit of dried pitch from the fern. Most of the time I just poked in the needle, with the current of air, when I pulled the needle back on the trigger.
I know why you get these slanted spikes by the way, I have a small tank in my air compressor, it’s two gallons. I used the gun for a minute or two and had to wait a while for the air pressure to get back enough to continue painting.
I’m not complaining about the compressor, I knew it was small when I bought it. This is the type of work that requires a larger pool, but I didn’t want to hire one. I used them and I wanted to do some other things to clean the rest of the area later.
Finally, it just went away. I only had to stop twice every day to actually pull the gun apart to clean it. There was a little more research so I had to remove the air ring and cap and remove the final fluid About the wife.
This is where the needle comes in as well. I had a bucket of water handy and pulled out the end by pushing the needle a few times. Then he shoots back with a gun. It works really slick.
One thing you’ll want to get a few extra before you start your job is the little o-rings that go in the fluid tip. I picked up the one that came with the gun after only half a day of painting. Fortunately, I have a stock hardware store.
I finished the day and went in to clean the gun. But before we get to some other things I should recommend to you for some necessary equipment to go with your air compressor and spray gun.
Walmart sells a kit with some quick-disconnect attachments and hoses. If you put attachments on your gun, hose and compressor, you can quickly and easily disconnect the gun and hoses in a snap.
As you need to paint more of the can, it’s a simple job of pulling back on the QD (Quick Disconnect) collar lock and the hose exits the gun. The QD has an internal shutoff valve when you remove the attachment, it will not allow air through the QD if there is no attachment in it.
These are great time saving benefits that I really recommend. You want to have some other things on hand when you do the job, like this, cloths or paper towels. You will get paint on things and it helps to be prepared in the event of a meltdown.
I am using a 5 gallon plastic bucket to paint. I scraped the paint and added water. I then used it with a stirrer drill to mix the paint. This came in handy so that when I stopped for lunch I put the cover on and the paint didn’t peel off.
I suppose the drop cloth is to help keep the tar from painting the lot of the car, but I wasn’t too worried about making a mess. The gray wall is such an improvement that it doesn’t matter a bit over the shower.
And, which brings up another point, through the rain. The gun doesn’t spray much where you don’t want it. I was using it, and it was a bit windy, but the guns were working fine, and there was very little rain that I could see. If you don’t want to paint your home or nearby things like vehicles, especially other people’s vehicles, use drop cloths and cover them.
I cleaned the gun with hot water and the dish soap learning, I cleaned the water all over to get everything clean. I pulled out the air cap and tip for cleaning, pulled out the needle to clean the body and parts that are not from the gun.
A few small toothbrushes are a great help here. I used to paint some of the tip and the cap, and used the rest of the flowing water. The top got some jams in the four air modes and needed to be ejected. After you have cleaned your gun, open it and let it dry on all sides.
Then they sprinkle some oil on the working parts, to remove them from being lubed, and to prevent rust. Aluminum can rust and remain wet. The white powder will instead be red for steel, but it will rust if it remains wet. So a quick spray of WD 40 will do the trick.
I haven’t used the guns in other jobs yet and will have to use them soon. I just wanted others to know that anyone with a small compressor and a good foam gun from Campbell Hausfeld can do some of these types of jobs. Decorative items do not need paint, waterproofer such as Thompson, or some clothing can be simple.
Some other tasks like peeling off the hood of my badly occupied yet future mini van, but this is another job. I got a spray gun.
I am quite happy with my spray gun from Campbell Hausfeld and would recommend them to your other air tools and compressor.
The DH3800 General Purpose Spray Gun is a good all around spray gun for jobs around the house or whatever. My father used them to paint lawn mowers, truck touch ups and various jobs for his lawn care business. He found many uses and conveniences to have around him.
I’m sure they will find other uses in the future other than these two works, I already have my airbrush for model building and I’m dying to to be born from some of that.
