Just got my gun today and really struggled to get it spraying right. I already see so many things that I was doing wrong. This video really helped clear up so many questions I had. Can't wait to try it out again tomorrow with all this new info.
Loved this video. Can I add that I also get a leak from time to time despite getting the threads spotless! but have found a method with stops it! I cut the top off an old flex liner( about 1/2 inch) and I then pop the knee flex liner inside it and out it in the pot! It acts like a second seal which helps the flex liner sit tighter to the lid.
Very good explanations brother, the truth is that this machine is very complicated to be able to adjust it and have a mirror effect with it. The real problem is being able to correctly dilute the paint you decide to use, I usually use Centurion and to be able to use tip number 3 I have to dilute it 10 to 15% and pray that it self-levels well, it is clear that I only use it for small jobs, for when it is more painting I use a graco airless 390 with fflp 308/210 depending on the job, a hug.
So true thinning each product properly is an art! We used 9.5s exclusively for 2.5 years for cabinets and they have their place however you’re right. All of them are collecting dust and have switched back to small airless with fflp tips way less problems and much faster! 💪
Bro! I just came to the exact same conclusions over the past month or so using my homies 115 titan lol. I started off using my Greco X5 airless that I had just bought, then bought the 209,& 108 FFLP tips. Had some speed bumps the first few times, did my research. Bought a conditioner and sped up as I was spraying. I hang them vertically to spray both sides at once. Running was a tiny issue too in the beginning 😂. They were turning out hella good. My homie said ay, since you got that pretty much dialed do you want try out my HVLP. I don’t ever take time off of work like I am right now right now to sell my house. So, I said hell yeah.I ran into issues immediately lol. Lots of solvent pop and just had like a hammered look to it. After a few, or more days it would level out. Not like glass though. Figured I’d try out a #3 tip , cut back on the fluid and turn up the air a little bit. along with thinning it out a fair amount. Night and day difference. I’m a metal stud framer/rocker by trade. Not too much experience in this field, but I definitely enjoy figuring out the solutions. Kind of a long way to say I agree with you I know lol.
I've done about 20 kitchens with this unit. Its a love-hate relationship. Here is a tip I wanna add... take a rubber mallet and hit the tabs to fully tighten the cup before attaching to the gun. Trust me, it leaks and paint will drip into your finish.
I've used my 9.5 a few time and something is always crappening with it and back on the shelf it goes. I've come to the conclusion my graco 490 with 410fflp tip at 1600psi is an unparalleled glass making machine. The upside of the 9.5 was to be able to use less paint for small jobs, which it does, but the clean up on that gun is a PITA! Keep them gallons rollin!
I agree I own 3 - 9.5s and after 2 years of using them we’ve shelved them for the Quichshots at the home to paint boxes and the 440 at the shop to spray doors.
I have paint leaking from the top of the trigger where there is a nut and the needle goes through it. I am searching for videos that address that specific area but nothing so far
Parfois je me demande si les réglages ne sont pas trop riches en air. Mon premier essai le rendu de la peinture était « rugueux » j’ai bien progressé mais je tâtonne toujours avec la dilution. Excellent matériel…qu’il faut apprendre à utiliser

True! Usually it’s an air leak through the lid 👌🏻

This is a great video bro! Thank you👍🏽
No problem glad I could help!
First mistake they made is the cup is made of plastic should be metal ,first spray job and it leaked and I have 9 different guns
I agree a aluminum cup would be nice and also help with cleaning
I have paint leaking from the top of the trigger where there is a nut and the needle goes through it. I am searching for videos that address that specific area but nothing so far
There is a repair/rebuild kit you can purchase the rubber garment the needle goes through is most likely worn out.

Thank you yes it just takes time. Once you figure out all the small details air to paint ratio and thinning paint properly this set up is great! 😊
First job cup leaked 🤮
Did you have a bag in it?
Je vais suivre votre chaîne
Thank you 🙏 for the follow my friend
