Can the gun be used with regular Great Stuff for Gaps and Cracks (like the kind you buy @ Home Depot) or does it HAVE TO be with the Great Stuff PRO?

no. You need to cans made for the gun. They are screw on cans. I get mine for e bay store called awarehousefull.

From the brief search I did on those substances, I'd say no. I've sprayed a rust proof primer and it came out kind of clumpy with the larger tip. I have shot tractor and implement enamels, with a little bit of thinning they can come out nicely. If you have to time to do multiple light coats, it might work.Also, and unrelated, I've been using a brake cleaner to clean this gun the last few times. It's reduced cleanup time by 2/3 and so far has shown no ill effects.

Using the Fluid Film gun, just use it as it comes from the can. I haven't tried a regular gun. Probably too thick

If you try to squeeze the trigger before all the glue is melted inside the gun it can be solid in the nozzle still so has nowhere to go but out through the back and it gets inside also. I use glue guns regularly, I have a £200 3m and still these use these regularly as they heat up quicker. Use it right and these last a long time.

No problem. I've used it on 3/8" thick siding with great results along with heavy framing and metal connectors. I've found on the 1 1/2 - 2" nails you will need to turn your pressure down to about 50 psi and then ajust it up until you get the right penetration. I would suggest that if this is the only application you will be using this on, get a lighter gun. If you want an all purpose gun, this is the one to get.

Just used this framing gun to install 1000 sf of T1-11 treated plywood siding and a bunch of 1x4 treated trim. Excellent gun that set nails at a consistent depth with no jams. 90psi was great with fine depth adjustment on the gun itself. Should be fine for basic 2x4 or 2x6 framing. Always use Hot Dipped Galvanised nails : B&C Eagle A312X131HD/22 Round Head 3-1/2-Inch x .131 x 22 Degree Hot Dip Galvanized Smooth Shank Plastic Collated Framing Nails (500 per box) I would go so far to say you could build a house with this gun. I own a Porter Cable FR350A and this gun compares well. Just used this framing gun to install 1000 sf of T1-11 treated plywood siding and a bunch of 1x4 treated trim.

yes, the high pressure and high volume capability is great. You will need yo go up on the gun flow tip. the one that comes with it is for smaller jobs. Check the paint you are buying and buy the largest tip available

I am not certain that I understand what you want to do. Great Stuff is a foam and does not have any real structural strength. It is just a foam like stuffing marshmallow in the gap. It will fill a gap but if you hit it with anything it will just tear and break off parts of the foam.

Ive never owned the one from Home Depot, however, I am very happy with this one. Ive used it almost everyday at work for over a year and still every thing is holding together quite well. I geuss it would depend on your particular use.

I mounted my PRO on my AK-47. I love it! I am considering getting another PRO and mount it either on my KelTec SUB 2000 or my H&K; MP5-22 A5. It is the perfect size for mounting on pistol caliber carbines. If I had a CX4 Storm, I would not hesitate to mount a PRO on it. And I agree with both of the previous comments. Plus you get a great "dot" site at a great value.

I have this gun and love it. I etch small glass for beer flight paddles. I'm using this gun everyday without any trouble. Two things that I have not experienced yet are the clogging problem and the adaptor fitting problem. I use an air compress from Harbor Freight and the connectors were the same. The compressor is a small hobby type compressor that comes with a cheap air brush and ran about $80.

and very tougvery tough I have them on my Keltec I have them on my Keltec KSG and I've shot hundreds of rifled slugs through it. I've also drop t. The pro version are constructed of aluminum it is probably what you're looki The pro version are constructed of aluminum it is probably what you're looking for though they're much more expensive. These polymers site are a lot tougher than you think they are

It works great especially for the newer paints. To test it after buying it, I sprayed epoxy primer (1.8mm tip), base color (1.5mm tip), and urethane clear (1.3mm tip). The gun performed flawlessly. I would suggest you keep a cheap gun for the primer and use this for color/clear, so you don't have cross-contamination from the primer. I use a Husky HVLP (about $50) that works great. I would buy this gun again. I use it on classic Corvettes....

This gun is suppose to take brads too. I saw them at the home improvement store when I was getting staples, but I did not try any. If the wood is thin enough the brads ought to work.

Ive never used PRO, but love my M4s. Used it during two combat tours in Iraq with 82nd Airborne. The M4s are nearly indestructible. Jumping out of airplanes, falls, drops... never once did it lose its zero. I stayed with the M4s for its proven reliability and durability.

Typically 2 years is too long. Shake very well. However top of can must be screw type and not straw nozzle. You state hose is 1/4", however, this gun uses screw type foam dispensers.
