Harbor Freight is a great place to find unbeatable prices for better HVLP spray guns with stainless steel parts and serviceable economy models, as well as detail guns, all tested by our members for spraying glazes, as well as compressors to power the guns. As yet no one has tested and commented on the remarkably inexpensive air brushes at harbor freight.
The critter siphon gun is a spray alternative that is well liked by some of our members, and is available at amazon.

Good day,
I am RonaId Morris, I saw your profile and I decided to contact you immediately. Can you get back to me on my email (ronmorri01@gmail.com) for full details.
Regards.
Mr. Dale
I build complete systems, each product I sell is 100% complete.
I don’t do the brick cutting or the metalwork for the kilns. I use L&L and Euclid’s kilns to make the shell to Fallonator design. You still get the kiln warranty from the kiln manufacturer for the kiln and I give a warranty for those items that the kiln manufacture don’t cover. It’s like an extended warranty for your car. The JMH kilns come in all the popular sizes and some not so popular sizes like our JMH-5 it’s 5 cubic foot stacking space, uses kiln shelves for a 18” kiln but the JMH5 is 20” across, it gives you the extra space, just as fast as the small 18” kilns are, but wide enough to do large bowls and platers.

Your work is beautiful! Love the texture against the glazes.
I have to get through two shows in the next couple weeks and then hope to contribute my last glaze test results. looks like a good site to plug in with other ^6 potters.
