Is it possible to use non-Fuji spray guns with this system? I'd like to get an additional gun to spray latex but don't want to spend much.

I don't know 100% becuase i haven't tried it, but I think its very likely. The connection hose appears to be a standard snap-type connector.

I don't know. When I wanted an extra gun I went online and found the same Fuji gun for about 200 brand new. My concern was using oil and water based finishes and not wanting to mix them in the same gun. I use one gun for nothing but water based and the other for oil based. It's a system so In my opinion I would not want to cheap out on a different companies gun to saves buck or two.

Fuji offers several different spray tips for this gun. I've sprayed acrylic polyurethane with the standard tip with only a minimum of thinning. Follow the instructions on thinning and try it with the tip it comes with.

No you use latex paint as is. try using FLOETROL paint conditioner. It helps to keep the nozzle from clogging.

I have had the more expensive sprayers and to be quite frank!!! I really do not have enough experience to use them properly. The Tool Force A-C2 is very easy to use and makes me seem like I know what I am doing. You might want to check with a professional on which one is right for you by you experience. I had no problems with this gun having runs or over spray and that is what really impressed me.

Rena, I have mixed paint with a thinner and did some airbrushing on paper and it worked out fine. I was amazed how light I could go with the paint just by pushing the trigger a little bit, more trigger= more paint..

Yes, the "laserlyte system" is much better than the "sirt trainer/pistol" primarily because, as indicated by "C Wigley" above and/or below, your're practicing with the same weapon which you are actually going to be shooting; however, I must respectfully take exception with his recommendation to NOT buy the laserlyte target ... if for no other reason than the laserlyte target provides lasting "feedback" to study/evaluate regarding the actual point of impact that you just can't get from other fixed targets which he uses; therefore, I HIGHLY recommend using BOTH the cartridge & target. Just sayin' . . . to each his own! ;&gt;) Pricing has noticeably dropped since the laserlyte products were initially introduced on the market! - Good Luck!

ninja does make one that is super high output but those are more for automags. i wouldn't use them on modern markers especially electros.

There used to be a shot shell die set, you had to remove the black collar the other dies fit into, as the shotshell die was huge. It didn't work all that well, and for the price, you could just get a shotshell press as the other replies mentioned.

I don't know that spray gun but looked it up and see that it needs 18 cubic feet per minute of air. I'm not sure what the Iwata- Medea studio produces but I think far less so it would not be suitable. It is designed to run up to two airbrushes at a max of 70psi each. Good luck and sorry I can't give a more definitive answer. Clay

AjaxDo you already have a rotoshave? If so, how do you like it? I'm trying to hold off in the hopes they'll let me know about the cartridges before then but with it being X-mas and all I probably will have to take the leap of faith.Regards,scott

Hey,,YES, I used it to spray latex paints (some of which were quite thick),,without thinning and with generally good results. Ultimately though, the periodic clogging which became worse and worse prompted me to just ditch the machine. UGH

Well Cindy, that is something I haven't ever tried....give me a minute to run it through my Big Shot and I will let you know. How's that? DRUM ROLL....for dramatic effect!!! I used an embossing folder by Darice mainly for the style of design and it worked beautifully. I ran one piece through several times and it looks OK while having a slight curve in it like most paper or card stock. Then I ran a second piece through once then back to the starting position because it is easier to remove the folder from that position and it looks great too, without quite as much curve. The flower design is embossed in the plastic very well with no tearing or milky look around the edges, that I was concerned about. I chose this folder because the design has several sizes of daisy like flowers, some swirls formed from dots and also a couple tiny hearts. Besides the curve I can see no difference in the results. None of the designs in the folder caused a puncture in the plastic especially the dotted swirls. I believe you would be very happy with the Cuttlebug results too. So go for it...and by the way, thanks for asking, I love passing along information that I have learned so others can increase their knowledge and fun in their creativity. Don't forget you can stamp on this with a permanent ink too and color it. Have fun!

All of sizzix dies are able to be used on the big shot. You can also use the embossing folders as well. Hope that helps.

Yes. It comes with a device (funnel, sort of) that you use to measure the thickness of the paint so that you can thin it to the right consistency for spraying. I haven't used it yet with latex, but have used polyurethane finishes and stains, and it does a superb job with those. The instructions on adjusting the paint mixture that come with the sprayer are very straightforward.

I spray epoxy primer and it's pretty thick... You should be fine... Spraying latex.. 3m had one of the top primer guns out there for automotive industry., nice thing is this gun comes with a gauge and you can control how much psi goes into the gun... I bought this gun from this site and love the purchase I made.. It comes with a 1.8 nozzle which is pretty thick for most primers.. But mainly it's trial and error if you don't know.. Another key thing to note is that all spray guns require a good compressor since paint guns tend to use allot of air... hope this helped..

Absolutely. This sprayer can spray latex paint which is much harder to spray than poly. No worries. - Gleem Paint
