How many uses can I get from each nozzle before disposal?

I attend a college training school for auto collision. We get 5+ from each nozzle if we clean them really good. We have also discovered the type if primer had effect. A high build primer will lesson number of uses.

Run water thru it when done with air hose. Finish off with paint thinner with air hose. Nozzle will last forever as long as you clean it when done painting. I> E> never leave it dirty. This eye learnt 40 years after Vietnam from my painter nephew. The nozzle on this pistolla is perfect size for all paints especially latex. Hope eye helped.

From my experience it all depends on how well you clean the nozzle. Some of the guys I work with dont do a very good job so about 30 sprays does the nozzle in. If you clean them well with a brush & some thinner I don't see why you would need to replace them any sooner then let's say 9 months depending on your work flow.

They are reusable for only about a week, but after that they are no longer to be used. For that week, rinse and reuse as much as you need!

It is not necessary to use the entire bottle all at one time. If you are done spraying the area, but the bottle is not empty, you can safely save it for use another time.

one use per bottle-depending on how much you use your machine, you can probably wait 6 mos before doing it again. Also depends on your water.

Volume wise, they are quite large so it is doubtful if you would even come close to filling them. You just twist them shut and can then turn it inside out and dispose of it. No mess at all.

I don't think it is practical to reuse them. We just picked them up one at a time and put them in the trash. They weren't too heavy. We ordered one each of about five different brands and did our own test to see which one worked best. This one was not the top performer, in our opinion.

Sure, that's a good idea. Clean out the nozzle and use it again, or you can let it dry and pull out the plug later. My only complaint is that the new silicones only last a few months then they don't harden anymore. The old stuff lasted ten years or more.

The plunger is in sterile packaging and not designed for reuse. If reused it should be sterilized prior to repacking. Consider the risk of infection or contamination before deciding to reuse what is designed as a disposable item. My .02

It depends on how thorough you want to be. You can just run soapy water through the system and be done. I like to soak the nozzle parts, the hand piece, and hoses and scrub everything clean. To me, it's worth it to know it will be ready to go next time I drag it out.

It can be reused, but I would not suggest doing so, if you have diluted it, or if it has been contaminated by bits/fibers of whatever you're dipping into it.

Sorry, this was for a gift and I have no idea about how many times it can be reused. Sorry!

They go on inside and outside of nozzle. No leak issues after several uses.

We reused them. You can't reuse them A LOT but if you are careful you can get 2-3 times out of them

I don't believe you can. With the pull out nozzle design unless you can find some kind of an adapter.

I use 20-30 mins depending on how many cases are in the cleaner. The dirtier the cases, the more time. Don't over load the amount of recommended cleaner fluid, it is only wasting the fluid. Don't leave brass in unit for more than 4 hours as it will start corroding.

I have only used the kit once, but there is at least 4 more applications leftover. There is plenty in the kit.

It is definitely not a one time use. I am not sure how many times it can be used before the solution become ineffective.
