i have wagner 350r i had it very cheap on offer for my first sprayer over 12 months now even though it dont have a gauge of filter manifold like some high end ones i always use wagner hea tips to be honest its awesome its payed for its self many times over as long as you look after things to this day i love spraying its so relaxing 👍
Hi I have this little machine for 24 months now and at least 1000L of mist coat went through ( I am using just for misting big projects like big barn conversions ) it earned thousands of £££ and still going strong ! Wagner 517 tip and I am flying with it. Don’t get me wrong i know it’s Erbauer but I am well surprised how good the pump is as it’s still pumping 👀 £220 2 years ago I am laughing now 😂
Some of these units just work. Mist coats are abit easier for it aswel as its thinner but ye hood warranty on it aswel as theyre not really repairable they'd probably just give you a new one
Your video convinced me to try this cracking piece of kit. My Wagner was off being serviced and a last minute job came in of a 4 x new build houses. The previous decorator just didn’t turn up. Picked this beauty up from Screwfix first thing in the morning and was completely masked up and painting by mid afternoon. Managed to do them all without issues, apart from a tiny amount of pulsing with the thicker eggshell for the trim, and a very occasional tip blockage which I’d put down to being about 50% less powerful than my Wagner which I cleared quickly. It’s now being kept as my back up in case I ever need it again, which I’m sure I will! Thanks for this!
OMG! I'm excited, just bought one of these this weekend. I'm a novice at spraying and want to try it before I decide to invest on a pro system & any training. This week, I have a large bedroom to paint, walls & ceiling same colour and I plan to spray. Empty house so I can practice like crazy. I might even try it on the woodwork!
Nice one, great vids, you've convinced me, I'm just starting at spraying and going with your recommendation for internal walls, I've ordered 210 and a 310 along with the Erbauer.
@sib3073 210 and 310 are woodwork tips generally. The 517 ot comes with will be fine for walls and ceilings. But you need the graco rac x guard for the graco blue or green tips. You could get a 517LP graco tip which possibly get the pressure down on the machine. Again graco tips do need the graco guard
Your video couldn’t be better timing I’ve just bought one of these and giving it a go at weekend. Have few questions if you are able to help? 1. Have bought a Wagner 30cm extension to do high ceilings, will it be ok? 2. Someone on the Screwfix reviews said get a graco rac x tip so I’ve got one. Was going to use with a graco rac x 517 for mist coat (Screwfix bare plaster paint) and top emulsion coat (Dulux supermatt) will this be ok, any tips for what pressure? 3. Got some FFLP 414 and 210 tips for woodwork which is 6” skirting and 3” architrave (undercoat and water based satin) would they be ok with this? Sorry for all the questions, loving the channel! 👍🏼
Thanks for the support. So the threads on the gun are size 7/8" so if your extension is a 7/8" it will be fine. then the new graco guard should screw straight onto that. you can us a 517LP to bring the pressure down also. but the standard blue tips are nice and fine for mist coats. The bare plaster paint still needs diluting wih water for the msit coat. also id add about 10 to 15% water for the top coat aswell to make it flow nicer. the thicker the paint the more it can struggle. (even my big units i dilute final coats about 10%. your aiming to be about 10 to 12 inch away from the surface. if youre doing ceilins and its gettting foggy you may be too far away from the surface. but mist coating can also fog up as its watered down. 414 i wouldnt really use, maybe small areas for emulsion , it will through a lot of paint out, a 310 would be a better shout. the 210 is a nice tip (gives a 4inch fan). pressures dont really matter, just start low and build up, keep testing the fan to make sure its even and away you go
@@sprayaholic great thanks so much for your help I’ll do what you say and dilute the plaster paint and supermatt down. The supermatt is ridiculously thick so was thinking I’d have to. Will take the 414 back and get a 310. Might make a video of my endeavours, will let you know! 👍🏼😎
@@WheresMyPencilUK did you buy a graco guard? youll need one for the graco tips. any issues just find me on instagram @sprayaholic and can send any issues over there
Hi mate, I’ve been decorating for 16 years but a complete novice when it comes to spraying. I bought this machine to use on a job with acres of woodwork. First time using it was today. Using a graco guard and a 310 fflp tip, spraying about 12 inches away from the surface and really struggling with far too much paint on the surface it was awful. Help!? Lol I noticed you held the gun pretty close to the panels to be fair. Would really appreciate your feedback. Cheers 👍
Hey, dont go for coverage in one go. You can really pile it on quick. So just need to move faster. Im usually around 10ish inches away but its best to go back over it than bit it heavy and then wait for it to dry or sket runs etc
Great video and review, thank you. I'm looking for am airless sprayer for smooth masonry paint on a wall as well as general future jobs, exterior fence panels & workshop, interior walls etc. Would this manage masonry paint?
great informative video , ipurchased one of these sprayers at the weekend , i have just made a batch of mdf kitchen cabinet doors for a client , going to have a go at the spraying side ,of things, what graco tip would you recommend for cabinet doors ?, i used 22mm hidrofungo good quality mdf .
Nice one. A 310 is a good start . Should give you a glimpse of what can be done. But these cheaper units dont have as much control as the more expensive ones so just be aware. Its all in the prep with mdf
Great videos, thank you! Complete novice to spray painting here, although pretty experienced DIYer and painter. Thinking of spraying our pebble dashed house this year, will this sprayer be upto the job and any suggestions for spraying masonry paint onto pebbledash please! Also any favourite brands of masonry paint? Thank you!
appreciate the support. I mainly use sandtex trade from crown. Thin it about 30% if its un painted. and about 10 to 15 for top coat. i would spray the first coat and will help stick some loose pebbles to the wall. The second coat spray and drop a roller over the area as it pushed the paint into all the small holes. sprayers used as a speed of application. you could probably just spray it, but you use a lot of paint compared to spray a section and drop a roller over it in my opinion
Brilliant video mate, quick one. I'm a chip, started using this today..i found it would spray for a short period then id have to prime it again the only be able to spray for literally one pass down an architrave..then it would need switching priming again?
Hi, thank you for a great video. Would this sprayer be any good for spraying crecote for fences. I have about 50 six foot panels to spray. obviously crecote is very thin so wondered if it might just make a lot of mist! Any sugestions would be very welcome.
Is it waterbased? You could use a smaller tip size. Obviously the pressure control on a unit like this isnt as effective as a proper model. But you could do it fast for sure. Throw a sheet or somethinb behind the fence if its an open joint one. Often youd need to back brush it into rough sawn timber as it wont get in all the gaps with just spraying. You could roll it? Or spray then drop a brish down it. I made a few videos spraying decking on my channel which i then back brush. That might give you an idea
great video, thanks. just picked one up today. I'm used to Graco. is there anywhere to lubricate the pump? I'm used to using tsl every time with Graco but can't see anywhere to put it in? thank you ♥️🙏
Hey, no these are self contained units so kind of disposable really. Usually sit in aload of tsl so doesnt need it if i remember. For the price theyre an alright piece if kit
@@sprayaholic thanks 👍 probably watered it down too much tbh. Got a lot of overspray but finish is great if only a mist coat. Would you go with the 517 tip supplies with the sprayer or change to 515?
@Matthew Watkins 517 is fine. Youll get more dust and over spray the more its watered down. 25% - 30% water for mist cost for me. Also a big amount comes from incorrect distance from surface
What’s this like for white washing fresh plaster or white on white with emulation and what tips would you suggest for spraying it straight out of the tub and watered down thanks mate
I got mine in a sale for £160 🙌 have only used it to spray some ply with acrylic barn paint. What paint was you using? I've got a used graco 9.5 that I haven't used yet, will need to watch back over your old videos 👍
bargain, this was a plastered wall with trim, and then a ply panel wall, used durable matt. thinned the first coat down 30% as a primer mist coat. then top coats diluted about 15% i think as it was really thick. the 9.5 great unit. any questions feel free to ask. ill be adding more hvlp videos shortly
Could this be used with small 1litre tins of paint or is there too much dead space in the lines? Looking do do finer work like kitchen cabinets. Thanks
Have you put external masonry paint through it? I'm tempted to use a waterproof and breathable paint on our tired pebbledash.. sprayer seems ideal. Keen to hear your experience
@TheReelIsle hey. It will spray smooth masonry. Youd probably need to thin it 15ish % id say. If its un painted pebbledash then id mist coat first with 30% water
Thanks a lot for the test of this device it looks really nice. I have a question about the density of the paint, do you have to mix it with water , for example, wall emulsion ?
Sorry couple more questions. Will then leave u alone 😀 Did u filter paint between 410 and 514 tip? Is the paint filtering why did not block for 514 or can wider tips handle less filtered paint better than narrow tips. Paint used was durable Matt, is that imulsion paint? Wld it be suitable for interior doors? Do you add any finish such as lacquer. Have around 13 doors and staircase to paint. Thanks again....
hi, no i didnt touch the paint, just changed the tip. so yes adding a larger tip size doesnt make it block as easily. depends how much or how solid the crap in the paint it. the bigger the tip size the more comes out so the faster you need to move. durable matt is mainly for walls, it does mark quite easy but its scrub able. id usually use a satin woodwork paint for doors etc. but this was what the client wanted. you could add a clear matt varnish over but it wasnt requested.
hi mate, after watching your video i went out and brought this from b&q to paint some houses , when your using matt paint for walls and ceilings do you have issue's with your sprayer where there's not enough pressure to keep the gun spraying constantly as i am having to stop and wait all the time,? cheers john
Thank for video, well presented. Bought one month ago and been delighted and frustrated. When it work its great ...... But currently in the attic due to it blocking constantly. When it blocks the guard goes from hand tight to needing spanner to get off. Also the tip is so tight it wont reverse to unblock. Bought Graco Fflp 310 gaurd/tip but same issue. Is tnhis the same problem you had? Was thinking off buying new gun before watching your video. Will ordered some filters and get it out of attic. Brand new to spraying and dont want to give up but can be really frustrating. Thank you
Hey thanks for watching. That issue happens with all sprayers. Just means the tips blocked. So an easier way to sort it is. Turn machine off and flick it onto prime. That releases pressure in the line and you should be able to to reverse the tip.
Thanks for your very useful video. I’m a spraying novice and only want one to make painting my fences easier. Do you think some of the thicker fence paints would work with this machine and I done really understand the different nozzle descriptions.
Appreciate the support. Yes it would work. You can always thin the paints down with the Appropriate product. Waterbased- water. Oil - white spirits. Check the label though for what is says on cleaning instructions. Basically the first number x 2 is the width in inches. So a 517. The 5 x 2 is 10. So roughly a 10inch spray fan. The last 2 numbers are the size of the hole in the tip. The bigger the number the more material comes out or allows thicker material. So a 517 would be good for emulsion and spraying walls. A 619 would be a 12 inch fan and let more paint out than a 517 so good for production and spraying large areas. A 721 again bigger and a 14inch fan and lets even more paint out. A 210 on the other hand, good for woodwork as its a 4 inch fan and lets a finer mist out so is more controlled and lets less out. A 310 is 6inch and may be better to spray wider skirting boards etc. Anything from a 312 to 515 would work for a fence. Again depends how wide you want the fine. The bigger the more chance of overspray. The smaller is more controlled. Its difficult to say which tip os best as usually youd have a few to use and see which is best on the day. Hope that helps
Thanks very much for a comprehensive reply which is very useful. I definitely will be investing in a sprayer now…..such a pain doing my fences with a brush.
@davidcooper4125 no problem. Happy to help and hopefully you get more info from the other videos on the channel take a look at the decking spray. Sometimes you may need to back brush fences to push the paint in. Its still alot faster
Great video I bought this machine recently and sprayed the blockwork internally in the garage and worked out great even with a novice like myself! What paint and tip would you recommend for spraying T&G cladding before I fit the cladding to the garage ceiling?
@stevepatrick9551 nice one. Have a look at sadolin superdec, used to be used to paint beach huts on the waterfront. Could be a good option. Maybe like a 310 tip
@@sprayaholic thanks a mil would the 310 tip work ok with a satinwood paint? My uncle mentioned as it’s a garage a good exterior masonary paint would work on the timber cladding also which I’m not convinced by..I know it’s cheaper to buy than satinwood timber paints.
@stevepatrick9551 i dont think it would last. Builders paint those massive fences that go up near building sites in masonry. Eventually splits off. Satin would spray, may need slight dilution
Hello. I have a few questions about the generator. Is it enough to just pump water through the entire system for cleaning, or if it is not used for a longer period of time, should it be poured with some liquid, and if so, which one? Does the filter need to be cleaned inside? If so, where is it? One more thing, today I used it for the first time and even though I mixed the paint, the strainer on the hose that sucks the paint often got clogged. What could be wrong. Sorry for the mistakes, I don't write English well and I used a translator.
Hi thanks for your message. There is no filter on the machine. Only the gun. You may need to filter the paint into a tub first to avoid debris in the paint clogging the metal filter. Graco pump armour is fine.
Thanks for taking the time my friend, Do you think if you strained the paint you could still have used the 410 tip just to give more control on speed etc
appreciate it. yes id say it would have made all the difference. it was blocking mid spray, not just while i was triggering on and off. but the 514 was a nice tip really middle ground from emulsion and woodwork, as you say more control with a 410 and less chance of runs if youre not used to the speed.
Hi Simon. Great video-I’ve had great success with the sprayer on ceilings and walls but would now like to do some finer finishes- ie kitchen cabinets. How do you work out which spray tips are compatible?
Generally a 210 or 310 would be the most used tips. The first number x 2 is the width in inches. So a 310. The 3 x 2 means 6inch fan. The last 2 numbers are how big the hole is, so bigger number more paint comes out, so usualy great for emulsions woth larger sizes like 517 519 etc
@@sprayaholic thank you so much for the reply. Sorry maybe my question wasn’t as clear as it should be. Are there specific Graco etc tips /guards that are compatible with the gun that comes with the Erbauer or are they all a standard fitting. Thanks again
@shadyamigo ah ok, so if you want to use graco tips buy a rac x guard. And the blue and green tips fit. Tritech wagner etc should fit the guard it came with but personally id buy the branded guard i want to use tips with as they seem abit better made. 7/8" is the thread size so generally universal, but some brands do sell bigger versions.
@@sprayaholic currently at work there is a lot of patches of filler, I'd be painting with a roller generally but this would be good for a first coat on the filler, maybe I can use for mist coating too
@Curtis Sawyer i usually would thin 10 to 15% and just smash it out. You can coat up quicker as youre not touching the wall as you would with a roller. You can get 1 coat to flash dry in minutes then hit with a heavier coat
Mist coat around 25 to 30% then top coats emulsion i think i did at 10 to 15% aprayed fine. Try filtering the paint into a seperate bucket to get the crap out
Hi Simon, great vid, I'll order one up on the back of this and the comments, but have a question. How is it on ceilings? Do i need an extension lance or?. Novice DIY'er have 180sqm of T & G ceilings in france to do. Thanks Kev. Do you have a vid on ceilings?
Glad you found the video helpful. I used it on ceilings fine, and with extensions. But like i said in the vid it may slow the pace down with long extensions but you just move slower to accommodate it. Ive got a few videos of me spraying ceilings with different units on the channel
Hey. Yes white spirits usually. Check the paint tin for instructions. Ive got a cleaning video useing a wagner. If you apply the same principle you'll be onto a winner
Thanks for a great video. In the end did you use the tip which came with the sprayer? I’m just starting spraying walls and doors for DIY - would you recommend? What tips would be best for getting started? Thanks
Thanks for watching. Yes im mid way through adding another video. I mistcoated and top coated with the 517tip and was really suprised how nice it sprayed. Hopefully the video will be up over the next few days
Thinking of getting one of these to paint our extension, empty only three windows to mask up. Be handy for fence panels as well. Would the included tip be fine for emulsion or would you upgrade it to same size Graco tip ? Or maybe a different size is more suitable for emulsion ?
I think I am going to pick one of these up for a job later this month and give it a go. Is it a metal pump? I seem to recall the cheaper Wagners having plastic pumps that have a tendancy to crack which means you just have to bin it.
@@sprayaholic Wow, a mega quick reply. I'll give it a go based on your review (you need an affiliate link 😃). Two jobs and I will have made my money back.
I'm looking to spray my whole holiday 4 bed home with textured render walls inside. Rendered outside and bare block walls around garden. Do you think with the correct tip this machine would be up to it? Was originally looking at a used 350r which is obviously a better machine but at a higher cost.
Mine leaked from the gun today from the spray Nozzle area, any ideas why? I cleaned it, made sure it was screwed on securely and still continued to leak 🤦🏻♂️
Check to see if the small metal circuit that sits inside the guard is missing. The cheap guards dont last too long thats why i recommend getting a branded one with tips
Completely new to spraying and just doing my research, I’ve got a pebble dash garage I’m wanting to make look a bit prettier, is their something I could do to help it spray masonry paint a little easier? Thanks 😊
Have you already bought one? I would thin the paint down If its un painted, id thin it 30% water. If its already painted id probably thin a minimum of 10% to 15% or if its struggling try 20% dilution. Should spray at that. Spray a section and drop a roller down the wet paint to push it in the gaps
@@sprayaholic I haven’t bought one just yet, but I’ve seen this one for £200 at b&q and from the reviews I’ve seen it’s quality for the price, I started painting the garage by hand but it’s way too time consuming
@Joseph Dawson ha ye even rolling you struggle to cover a big area. Give it a go for 200quid its a decent unit for the money really and would save alot of time. Just be aware of possible over spray in the wind. You can get in abit closer to the wall as you wont see the finish as its textured
Great little review. Convinced me for our new extension aswell. Will the Wagner HEA Protips fit the supplied guard? Want to get a 515 and 311 and a 1.8m whip to go with it. Thank you 👍
Im not 100% sure. Whats the reason for the wagner hea tips? The guard should fit tritech and which ever are the normal wagner tips. I think wagner have 2 different ones id probably just get a 1m whip as not sure how it will handle making the hose too much longer if you may gain some pulsing or not.
@@sprayaholic I figured I'd get a better result with a branded tip and most seem to recommend the Graco fflp or Wagner HEA. This is for mist coating and top coating with latex based emulsions. Good tip on the whip length thank you. I'll look for the tritech equivalents.
@Daniel Marshall this is using the tip it came with. It was perfect. But in the long run yes probably better off with branded. And maybe low pressure ones to help the machine not run as hard
I have just bought one if these any advice would be great. Also where do I buy some tips from. I will be using a water based paint for bedrooms and a living room.
uk based. spraydirect.com i usualy dilute my paint about 10%, ive got a few videos on spraying so hopefully they will get you going. all the airless units are basically the same principle just differnt powers and models
Hi there, I'm currently using a rubbish electric hvlp thing which does the job (just). I use sayerlack waterbased paint and am thinking I might plump for this as I just can't bring myself to spend 900 on a graco gf or 21 right now. I presume this will do the job nicely for cabinets and alcove units that I spray in a tent in my garden before assembly? Thanks in advance.
Anything is a step up. The more you spend often the more reliable thry are and easier youll find them to pump. You could look at middle ground wagner 250/350. But this should still get decent results as the results come from the tips and techniques. The sprayer just pushes the paint out
Thanks for watching. Ebay for cheap copies. Graco need a graco rac x guard and tips. The tritech, wagner and titan should fit in the guard it came with.
Hi, I’m going to buy this after your recommendation to spray my kitchen diner extension ceiling and walls. I think you mention it comes with a 517 tip but you eventually changed to a 510. Would I be ok using a 517 tip for emulsion if I thin it by 20-30%?
@PeterMurphy-z4p hey. It's good for the money. No emulsion keep with the 517. Mist coat thinned 30% and top coat thinned about 10%. Should be fine with that
@@PeterMurphy-z4p I can't be certain. I'd rather buy a graco blue guard and lp or fflp tips. That way you're using low pressure tips which means the sprayer can handle it abit better
Hi mate, I have a pebble dash finish on my farmhouse. Its bit of a nightmare to paint. Will this machine be ok to go over the pebble dash? Eill i need to put a base of roller brush paint on and then go over it with a spray machine? Cool vid
@themarksmanABP hey, yes youd could use this. Probably need to thin the paint though. If its bare never been painted. Id mix 30% ish water. I measure it out. Spray that coat. Dont go for full coverage. It will help stick some loose pebble on the wall. Then id spray sections and just drop the roller up and down the sprayed areas and use it as a speed of application. You'll still fly doing this way. The roller help push paint into small gaps and areas.
Hi, can you comment on how noisy the device is in person? It seems from the video the spraying sound is the loudest aspect. Just wondering as the Wagner control pro is very loud when pressurising the line. Im looking for a quieter option. Thanks.
Its not quiet ha. If you want quiet youd have to look at a tritech or a graco 395 something like that. The cheaper units all sound like a star wars battle
@@sprayaholic Thanks, that’s helpful to know. I think my purposes a low noise compressor and mini HVLP gun will suit. I’m only looking to paint small items.
Hi. Great video and I bought this on seeing your video. Question. You swapped to a graco 514. How did it fit so easily? The standard handle doesn’t seem big enough ?
Just spent so many back breaking hours spraying 2 coats on a large bedroom with a Wanger 690. What a pain filling that hopper constantly. I'm going to send it back and get one of these. Which 514 do you recommend, or any multi buy spray nozzle kits? Mainly for walls, ceilings inside, and some lollipop fencing. Thanks!
I've been following your UA-cam videos closely and I must say, they have been incredibly helpful and enjoyable to watch, so thank you! Recently, I hired a professional UPVC sprayer to work on an MDF wall unit but the final touch-ups went wrong and he has abandoned the job, so I’m considering respraying the top of the unit myself, and I came across this airless sprayer that looks promising. It would be great to know your thoughts on whether this sprayer should be suitable for my task. I'm also trying to find out the exact paint the professional used but the colour was Wimborne White in a satin finish. Can I expect this sprayer to deliver the satin finish I desire? Is it worth going for a different tip like the Graco 410? Thank you and keep up the fantastic work!
Hey, I appreciate the comment. I'm sorry to hear about the other tradesman. This using could easily spray mdf units. It's basically just a small lower powered disposable version of the professional units. A 310 would give it a 6-inch wide fan a 410 would be an 8-inch fan. So, bear that in mind. Depending what paint they used, you could potentially just give it a quick sand with like 320g sandpaper and spray on. But if you go too heavy you may get runs. Always best to apply less and do more pass3s than go for gold in 1 coat. Ive had the farrow and ball colour mixed into several different paints from crown and johnstones decorating centres The hvlp units are alot more controlled. Take a look at this video here. ua-cam.com/video/Ze6cFS3SivY/v-deo.html
The pressure dial obviously isnt as accurate as most. But you can definitely spray alot of things with it. Better than i was expecting and i ran it for 5 days straight spraying a big house ha
Loving your videos, you've got me to buy one of these along with the Graco Tip and Guard. I unfortunately have done the typical bloke thing and not read whether the Satin would spray (Johnstones Aqua Satin) and it turns out its only for rolling and brush application (idiot that I am). Do you know of any satin paints I could use instead (Apparently Dulux Diamond Satin White is good, but I'm not sure how I can justify 2.5l for 57 quid!), and how do you know how much to water this down?!? (I was having to keep priming it to get it draw through the gun).
I wouldn't says theres a better brand unlessnyou start spending money.. ive gone plenty with leyland vinyl matt and contract from screw fix as usually a decent price. I use trade paints. Thin minimum of 10%
Hello mate, i get a lot information any great advice from watching your vids, so much so I bought this model last week after watching your review about it. I sprayed a really ornate cornice in super quick time, around 20 mins to be exact. My question is this, I cleaned the machine and lines out as normal with any airless, but I can’t get the flipping handle off to get into cleaning the gun filter. It’s like it’s been glued in with lock tight. Any advice would be appreciated
Thats great to hear. Appreciate the support. Good question, i infact cleaned out without taking the gun apart as i didnt have my main adjustables on the job. Id be suprised if it didnt have a filter and could just be really tight. Theyre alot easier to get off if you have some bigger adjustables to get some leverage
@@sprayaholic I watched a UA-cam video yesterday, another guy was showing his way to clean out the Erbauer, and he easily just spun the grip off, I’ll try wd40 and a little bit heat. Thanks for your reply, very grateful
@Paul Sanderson he would have probably struggled before he started filming haha. Get 2 longer spanners on it if you can and it should crack open. But usually hand tight is enough to create a seal. I do prefer a slight nip up with a spanner
@@sprayaholic if it was anything like mine he will have sweated blood and tears. Anyway I will work on my one to free it. Thanks again, look forward to your next vids. Cheers
This will spray solvent as it says it on the description on the sales page. But id say you dont want to be using airless for spraying wheels. Youd want a hvlp
@Craig Newton yes youd get most of your control and power from a compressor set up and that's generally how its done. But you could get decent results with a hvlp turbine unit like the more powerful ones i use but those are around £1000 where as you could get a decent compressor set up for a few hundred
Hi, how will this compare to a pressure pot system fed from the compressor? The pressure pot I have with 1.8 tip seems quite slow and lots of overspray. Thanks
Thinking about buying this to do some interior block wall, I’ve been using fortress emulsion paint from screwfix but taking so long with the roller.. would you recommend this sprayer and what dilution should I use? Thanks
Cant go wrong for the money. Maybe need 15% dilution or 30% for a mist coat if bare block. Then i would spray an area and use the sprayer as an applicator and drop the roller down it as it will push into all the small holes. Still faster than rolling alone
@shaneslatcher3111 i often use a kitchen siv. Hook it over a fresh bucket and pour into that. You'll be suprised the amount of crap thats in some paint tubs
Hey for me on bigger jobs a 618 tritech. On a smaller machine id be using graco low pressure tips a 517 is fine. The bigger you go the more chance for over spray and using excess paint. But anywhere between 516 for control to 518 and 618/619 for applying more quickly
Got one of these today. I found it a bit temperamental to start with but then got the hang of it. However, it really goes through the paint. I used 6l of Dulux Trade Contract Matt to do a mist coat on one bedroom (walls and ceiling)!! At £50+ for a 10l tub, it’s going to cost a fortune to paint my house. Anyone else find the same?
Now then mate, I’m new to this. What size tip would you recommend for an acrylic polymer?. I’m looking to spray my roof tiles with Everest trade premflex. Any advise would be most welcome. Cheers
@darrenshaw7759 youd have to read the data sheet for that particular paint. There should be a pdf online if you google it. Not too sure if this particular machine would be suited to that coating
@darrenshaw7759 i had a quick look and some one had sprayed it with a hvlp sprayer 50% diluted ha so im going to guess you could use this unit with the tip it came with. As it tells you how thick to spray it on. Should be able to thin abit aswel to get it through the sprayer
@@sprayaholic I do have hvlp sprayer for fence panels but it only has a 1 litre pot, I’d be for ever stopping and refilling it 😂 I’m assuming that watering any product down won’t affect the finish, as the extra water will just evaporate? By the way, thanks for this 👍👍
Hey its EAPS600 if you search Erbauer airless im pretty sure they only have one. Thanks for letting me know. It seems everyone one ebay is out of stock now. If youre UK. Screwfix or bnq will be best bet
I’ve got this machine, I’ve got to spray some MRmfd kitchen doors with egg shell, I was thinking to shorten the hose to 4m and use a Greco fflp 312 tip. Do you think it could handle it ?
Hello, great review. I'm really interested in this sprayer. Do you think its suitable for cabinets and joinery work. Wardrobes etc. Is there much overspray. Looking at reviews would probably get a graco tip guard and 210 tip for it.?
You may struggle with certain paints due to.paint thickness. But over spray comes down to technique and tips not the machine. If its all you can afford for a minute then it would get you into spraying until you can upgrade. A 310fflp would also be good aswel
Ok thankyou very much, do you think an hvlp would be better for me . I'm a carpenter and cabinet maker. Currently just roller and brush my work but would definitely like a sprayer. Do some large panels sometimes for wardrobes etc. Thanks you very much for your help. Great channel
@Dillon Wild no problem. Hvlp would set you back around 900quid for a good one. So you could get a better airless like a.gxff graco. Hvlp has more.control but can fog up rooms aswel. Unless you went.for a.compressor set up that could be cheaper but i dont know too much about those
Where did you get the different tips from? Im looking to buy one of these sprayers for doing multiple rooms in my house and i need as much info as possible on how to set up for doing the work - like the types of tips i should use and how they perform, and whatever else i need to know and buy before i go paint a room. Any info for this novice would be appreciated. Cheers
The tip it comes with is fine for walls paints. Heres a quick video of me using it with emulsion. ua-cam.com/users/shortssL5ZLLKs0Rk?si=fFlCLp1lbkLPT2kO
Hey, can you tell me if I can put oil based or solvent based paint through this sprayer or is it water based only? If I can put oil / solvent through it. What do I use to clean it up? Really appreciate your help on this.
Hey yes you can use solvent and waterbased. See the back of the tin for cleaning up. If its zinsser bin primer its methylated spirits. Normal oil based then white spirits usually
@@sprayaholic thank you! Another question, the reason for my oil based question was for painting woodwork (doors and trim). Need something really durable. Is there a water based you would recommend for this? You recommended a Tikkurila paint for ceilings, would you recommend their everal range for woodwork? Would love to know your favourite paint manufacturers for different surfaces! Really appreciate your replies!
@Andy Steward well i dont use oil at all really. Benjamin moore scuff x is great. Caparol haft primer and pu satin. Not super keen on the everal. Teknos is good. Mainly if brushing im using Benjamin moore, it goes.miles, covers great and is solid. Its more expensive but it saves me labour
Once again appreciate the reply. I’m looking to spray most of the wood, it’s skirtings and panelling. The caparol doesn’t seem to have any representation in the UK and I can only get it online (unless you know chain stores that sell it?) I know the panelling will take a pounding from the kids and the alkyd urethane technology sounded interesting! The Benjamin Moore is £108 for 4 litres and only available in their colours. And I’m spraying rather than brushing. Ideally looking for something that they will colour match to another brands colour 🙈 I also need bathroom paint…
@Andy Steward caparol i usually buy online from uk seller paint shack. Brewers probably sell it Or look to tikkurilla again brewers will sell it or give them a call
@@sprayaholic been looking at trying one n your review has definitely made me decide to give this one a try without blowing my budget, thanks again and for the reply
@Chris Alexander awesome. Ye ive hammered some of those diy units and been suprised with results. alot of it comes down to paint consistency and thinning so nail that and you'll be winning
I'm going to try the very thing today with sandtex microseal white on roughcast. I'll let you know if it works. Should be grand ive sprayed some pretty thick emulsions through it thinned slightly
@@mikerushton8126 it did mate. Thinned it 20-25% on the 517 tip and it sprayed perfect. Few blockages along the way but 1000% faster than roller and brush and thinned it's still covered fantastic
Your using your filters over and over I'm guessing I used to do that I swap them every job now, certainly every second. I just bought the new Graco cordless, which is a bit of $$$ certainly when my corded one breaks (wager) I'll buy one of these cheapies, they are good value if you don't use them a lot.
I'm buying one of these tomorrow. My 390 is going back for a warranty repair and I've got two 3 bed newbuild houses to knock out next week. If i can get the walls/ceilings sprayed out and woodwork primed with it for £200 then I'll be a happy man. I'll probably use the little bastard for spraying crown fast flow goss on my spindles every job after that too. That stuff is nasty. Will it accept a graco gun?
Did you get it going ok? I cant remember if i had issues trying to connect a whip hose to that hose. Should connect a new gun fine but i remember it wasnt as nice a fit as the other hoses.
@@sprayaholic I haven't actually used it yet, it's still in the van as I haven't sent the 390 off yet and that's still usable. I've just bought a contractor pc compact gun and it won't screw on to the fitting properly so I think I'm stuck with the erbauer gun, which isn't the worst to be honest, should be fine with a Graco guard and tip. How do you reckon the erbauer will hold up on a big 3 storey 4 bed house? I'm scared to send the 390 off incase the little one fails me and then I'm stuck. I know it's half the flow rate, but I don't know if it will handle that kind of hammering. Also, how do oil the pump on it? I see a little hatch on the top with a star key I think.....I should probably read the instructions 😂
@hakimvlogs6579 dont let it dry in there. Inside is air tight so really its only the tip and the suction pipe that sucks yhe paint up that will dry over first. Once youre finished clean out with appropriate cleaner and then a warm soapy water wash after and should be golden. Spirits etc clean out alot faster and easier than waterbased as its a chemical reaction which breaks the paint down. Waterbased stuff hangs on longer and comes off bester when agitated
@@sprayaholic thanks for such a quick reply. I’m actually doing a 4 bed house with corridor and ceilings in a few weeks. Wanted to see if using an air sprayer was the way to go. Could this set up do ceilings?
@@sprayaholicjust subbed to the channel. Any particular brand of emulsion for the mist coats/walls? Also stick to the tip size you used in this vid? Ps all the carpets are up so I’m kinda lucky to not have to be so careful! I may look at a hvlp for the skirts if it is worth the extra layout!
@chrisg3726 i would get the graco guard i say in this video. And then you can buy say a 210 and 310 for woodwork. You may need to thin the paints down abit. You could do it all in airless. You'll use a bit of paint though so be aware of that. The tip it comes with worked fine for walls and ceilings. But again if you get a graco rac x guard then you can get a 517 low pressure tip. With the tips being kow pressure, they help not let the machine try as hard to get a nice spray fan. Take a look at one of my newer videos. Understanding tips
No. It would probably break down. But for the money if you needed one and ran it into the ground for a job and wasnt bothered if it blew up it would probably work for a.good while. Depending on the paint used and how thick it was
Thanks so much for this video! I went ahead and bought one and had excellent results the first two uses but am now stuck with an issue I'm hoping you can help with: it's basically spraying as a jet in both of the spray tip orientations. Did from the start today using a clean setup. It does this both with emulsion which worked perfectly previously, and with just water. I've cleaned and re-cleaned everything but no success. Any clues?
Sounds like there might be some crap stuck on the tip. If emulsion has been used. Put it in.a cupof hot soapy water then get a tooth brush and brush the front and back of the tip holes. Also worth checking to see if the metal circle seat has fallen out of the guard. Take a lool in the guard and see if a part looks like its missing. The tip will sit against it once fitted
Thanks mate, that's very helpful. The union and seal are definitely still in there, so hopefully just clogged. In the meantime I've bought a Graco LP tip and holder so I'll just try that when it arrives. Thanks again!
Thanks, keep up the good work👍
Legend, appreciate the support
i have wagner 350r i had it very cheap on offer for my first sprayer over 12 months now even though it dont have a gauge of filter manifold like some high end ones i always use wagner hea tips to be honest its awesome its payed for its self many times over as long as you look after things to this day i love spraying its so relaxing 👍
Ye ive got a wagner in the garage waiting to look at it. Some of those cheap ones can do a good job
Hi I have this little machine for 24 months now and at least 1000L of mist coat went through ( I am using just for misting big projects like big barn conversions ) it earned thousands of £££ and still going strong ! Wagner 517 tip and I am flying with it.
Don’t get me wrong i know it’s Erbauer but I am well surprised how good the pump is as it’s still pumping 👀
£220 2 years ago I am laughing now 😂
Some of these units just work. Mist coats are abit easier for it aswel as its thinner but ye hood warranty on it aswel as theyre not really repairable they'd probably just give you a new one
What tip do you use for walls and ceilings with this machine?
Your video convinced me to try this cracking piece of kit. My Wagner was off being serviced and a last minute job came in of a 4 x new build houses. The previous decorator just didn’t turn up.
Picked this beauty up from Screwfix first thing in the morning and was completely masked up and painting by mid afternoon. Managed to do them all without issues, apart from a tiny amount of pulsing with the thicker eggshell for the trim, and a very occasional tip blockage which I’d put down to being about 50% less powerful than my Wagner which I cleared quickly. It’s now being kept as my back up in case I ever need it again, which I’m sure I will! Thanks for this!
Awesome. Yes it gets a job done for sure. Glad you took the plunge and it worked out
OMG! I'm excited, just bought one of these this weekend. I'm a novice at spraying and want to try it before I decide to invest on a pro system & any training. This week, I have a large bedroom to paint, walls & ceiling same colour and I plan to spray. Empty house so I can practice like crazy. I might even try it on the woodwork!
How did you get on witg the sprayer?
Second this bro. How did you get on?
Nice one, great vids, you've convinced me, I'm just starting at spraying and going with your recommendation for internal walls, I've ordered 210 and a 310 along with the Erbauer.
@sib3073 210 and 310 are woodwork tips generally. The 517 ot comes with will be fine for walls and ceilings. But you need the graco rac x guard for the graco blue or green tips.
You could get a 517LP graco tip which possibly get the pressure down on the machine. Again graco tips do need the graco guard
Your video couldn’t be better timing I’ve just bought one of these and giving it a go at weekend.
Have few questions if you are able to help?
1. Have bought a Wagner 30cm extension to do high ceilings, will it be ok?
2. Someone on the Screwfix reviews said get a graco rac x tip so I’ve got one. Was going to use with a graco rac x 517 for mist coat (Screwfix bare plaster paint) and top emulsion coat (Dulux supermatt) will this be ok, any tips for what pressure?
3. Got some FFLP 414 and 210 tips for woodwork which is 6” skirting and 3” architrave (undercoat and water based satin) would they be ok with this?
Sorry for all the questions, loving the channel! 👍🏼
Thanks for the support. So the threads on the gun are size 7/8" so if your extension is a 7/8" it will be fine. then the new graco guard should screw straight onto that. you can us a 517LP to bring the pressure down also. but the standard blue tips are nice and fine for mist coats. The bare plaster paint still needs diluting wih water for the msit coat. also id add about 10 to 15% water for the top coat aswell to make it flow nicer. the thicker the paint the more it can struggle. (even my big units i dilute final coats about 10%.
your aiming to be about 10 to 12 inch away from the surface. if youre doing ceilins and its gettting foggy you may be too far away from the surface. but mist coating can also fog up as its watered down.
414 i wouldnt really use, maybe small areas for emulsion , it will through a lot of paint out, a 310 would be a better shout. the 210 is a nice tip (gives a 4inch fan).
pressures dont really matter, just start low and build up, keep testing the fan to make sure its even and away you go
@@sprayaholic great thanks so much for your help I’ll do what you say and dilute the plaster paint and supermatt down. The supermatt is ridiculously thick so was thinking I’d have to. Will take the 414 back and get a 310. Might make a video of my endeavours, will let you know! 👍🏼😎
@@WheresMyPencilUK did you buy a graco guard? youll need one for the graco tips. any issues just find me on instagram @sprayaholic and can send any issues over there
@@sprayaholic yeah I got a rac x guard to go with the tips. Will follow you on Instagram thanks for your help mate. 👍🏼

Great job Simon, thanks for reviewing the this 👍
thanks for watching bud appreciate it
Brilliant review mate 👍🏻👍🏻
@DjGiluk appreciate the support. Hopefully my other videos will be helpful too
Hi mate, I’ve been decorating for 16 years but a complete novice when it comes to spraying. I bought this machine to use on a job with acres of woodwork. First time using it was today. Using a graco guard and a 310 fflp tip, spraying about 12 inches away from the surface and really struggling with far too much paint on the surface it was awful. Help!? Lol I noticed you held the gun pretty close to the panels to be fair. Would really appreciate your feedback. Cheers 👍
Hey, dont go for coverage in one go. You can really pile it on quick. So just need to move faster. Im usually around 10ish inches away but its best to go back over it than bit it heavy and then wait for it to dry or sket runs etc
What tip would you recommend for spraying doors and woodwork? I’m using eggshell
Great video and review, thank you. I'm looking for am airless sprayer for smooth masonry paint on a wall as well as general future jobs, exterior fence panels & workshop, interior walls etc. Would this manage masonry paint?
Thanks for watching. Yes this should be fine. Thin the masonry minimum of 10% may need a more but should do a decent job
great informative video , ipurchased one of these sprayers at the weekend , i have just made a batch of mdf kitchen cabinet doors for a client , going to have a go at the spraying side ,of things, what graco tip would you recommend for cabinet doors ?, i used 22mm hidrofungo good quality mdf .
Nice one. A 310 is a good start . Should give you a glimpse of what can be done. But these cheaper units dont have as much control as the more expensive ones so just be aware. Its all in the prep with mdf
Great videos, thank you! Complete novice to spray painting here, although pretty experienced DIYer and painter.
Thinking of spraying our pebble dashed house this year, will this sprayer be upto the job and any suggestions for spraying masonry paint onto pebbledash please!
Also any favourite brands of masonry paint? Thank you!
appreciate the support. I mainly use sandtex trade from crown. Thin it about 30% if its un painted. and about 10 to 15 for top coat.
i would spray the first coat and will help stick some loose pebbles to the wall. The second coat spray and drop a roller over the area as it pushed the paint into all the small holes. sprayers used as a speed of application. you could probably just spray it, but you use a lot of paint compared to spray a section and drop a roller over it in my opinion
Brilliant video mate, quick one. I'm a chip, started using this today..i found it would spray for a short period then id have to prime it again the only be able to spray for literally one pass down an architrave..then it would need switching priming again?
Why would it need to go onto prime? What was the machine doing? What paint and was it yhe tip it came with?
Was the paint tube fully in the paint?
Hi, thank you for a great video. Would this sprayer be any good for spraying crecote for fences. I have about 50 six foot panels to spray. obviously crecote is very thin so wondered if it might just make a lot of mist! Any sugestions would be very welcome.
Is it waterbased? You could use a smaller tip size. Obviously the pressure control on a unit like this isnt as effective as a proper model. But you could do it fast for sure. Throw a sheet or somethinb behind the fence if its an open joint one. Often youd need to back brush it into rough sawn timber as it wont get in all the gaps with just spraying. You could roll it? Or spray then drop a brish down it. I made a few videos spraying decking on my channel which i then back brush. That might give you an idea
great video, thanks. just picked one up today. I'm used to Graco. is there anywhere to lubricate the pump? I'm used to using tsl every time with Graco but can't see anywhere to put it in? thank you ♥️🙏
Hey, no these are self contained units so kind of disposable really. Usually sit in aload of tsl so doesnt need it if i remember.
For the price theyre an alright piece if kit
Bought one on the strength of this video, looking forward to using it in my new extension :)
Awesome. Keep clean and it should get the job done. Thin the paint abit to help it spray nicer if youre struggling
@@sprayaholic thanks 👍 probably watered it down too much tbh. Got a lot of overspray but finish is great if only a mist coat. Would you go with the 517 tip supplies with the sprayer or change to 515?
@Matthew Watkins 517 is fine. Youll get more dust and over spray the more its watered down. 25% - 30% water for mist cost for me. Also a big amount comes from incorrect distance from surface
@@sprayaholic appreciate the info, thanks
What’s this like for white washing fresh plaster or white on white with emulation and what tips would you suggest for spraying it straight out of the tub and watered down thanks mate
?
Sorry just seen the comments. The 517 is fine. Mistcoats 25 to 30% dilution
10% dilution for top coats
I got mine in a sale for £160 🙌 have only used it to spray some ply with acrylic barn paint. What paint was you using? I've got a used graco 9.5 that I haven't used yet, will need to watch back over your old videos 👍
bargain, this was a plastered wall with trim, and then a ply panel wall, used durable matt. thinned the first coat down 30% as a primer mist coat. then top coats diluted about 15% i think as it was really thick.
the 9.5 great unit. any questions feel free to ask. ill be adding more hvlp videos shortly
Could this be used with small 1litre tins of paint or is there too much dead space in the lines? Looking do do finer work like kitchen cabinets. Thanks
no your probably have a good 500 to 600ml before it comes out the gun I think. you'd want a hopper version
Have you put external masonry paint through it? I'm tempted to use a waterproof and breathable paint on our tired pebbledash.. sprayer seems ideal. Keen to hear your experience
@TheReelIsle hey. It will spray smooth masonry. Youd probably need to thin it 15ish % id say. If its un painted pebbledash then id mist coat first with 30% water
@@sprayaholic thanks again
@sprayaholic thanks for this review. What tip would you reccomended for it for the smooth masonry paint? Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the test of this device it looks really nice. I have a question about the density of the paint, do you have to mix it with water , for example, wall emulsion ?
@Artur-vt4lu thanks. I do, it helps the flow. Usually 10% it just helps the machine not run as hard
Sorry couple more questions. Will then leave u alone 😀 Did u filter paint between 410 and 514 tip?
Is the paint filtering why did not block for 514 or can wider tips handle less filtered paint better than narrow tips.
Paint used was durable Matt, is that imulsion paint? Wld it be suitable for interior doors? Do you add any finish such as lacquer. Have around 13 doors and staircase to paint.
Thanks again....
hi, no i didnt touch the paint, just changed the tip. so yes adding a larger tip size doesnt make it block as easily. depends how much or how solid the crap in the paint it.
the bigger the tip size the more comes out so the faster you need to move.
durable matt is mainly for walls, it does mark quite easy but its scrub able. id usually use a satin woodwork paint for doors etc. but this was what the client wanted. you could add a clear matt varnish over but it wasnt requested.
@@sprayaholic Thanks for the response information. Checked use of "emulsions" for wood, Topic by itself.
well done mate just see that on job im spraying alot and this one looks lovley
For the money it worked better than i expected
hi mate, after watching your video i went out and brought this from b&q to paint some houses , when your using matt paint for walls and ceilings do you have issue's with your sprayer where there's not enough pressure to keep the gun spraying constantly as i am having to stop and wait all the time,? cheers john
if its doing that a lot then press that red button as it may be jammed up with paint and not pressurising properly
Thank for video, well presented. Bought one month ago and been delighted and frustrated. When it work its great ...... But currently in the attic due to it blocking constantly. When it blocks the guard goes from hand tight to needing spanner to get off. Also the tip is so tight it wont reverse to unblock. Bought Graco Fflp 310 gaurd/tip but same issue. Is tnhis the same problem you had?
Was thinking off buying new gun before watching your video. Will ordered some filters and get it out of attic.
Brand new to spraying and dont want to give up but can be really frustrating. Thank you
Hey thanks for watching. That issue happens with all sprayers. Just means the tips blocked. So an easier way to sort it is. Turn machine off and flick it onto prime. That releases pressure in the line and you should be able to to reverse the tip.
Thanks for your very useful video. I’m a spraying novice and only want one to make painting my fences easier. Do you think some of the thicker fence paints would work with this machine and I done really understand the different nozzle descriptions.
Appreciate the support. Yes it would work. You can always thin the paints down with the Appropriate product. Waterbased- water. Oil - white spirits. Check the label though for what is says on cleaning instructions.
Basically the first number x 2 is the width in inches. So a 517. The 5 x 2 is 10. So roughly a 10inch spray fan. The last 2 numbers are the size of the hole in the tip. The bigger the number the more material comes out or allows thicker material.
So a 517 would be good for emulsion and spraying walls.
A 619 would be a 12 inch fan and let more paint out than a 517 so good for production and spraying large areas. A 721 again bigger and a 14inch fan and lets even more paint out.
A 210 on the other hand, good for woodwork as its a 4 inch fan and lets a finer mist out so is more controlled and lets less out. A 310 is 6inch and may be better to spray wider skirting boards etc.
Anything from a 312 to 515 would work for a fence. Again depends how wide you want the fine. The bigger the more chance of overspray. The smaller is more controlled. Its difficult to say which tip os best as usually youd have a few to use and see which is best on the day. Hope that helps
Thanks very much for a comprehensive reply which is very useful. I definitely will be investing in a sprayer now…..such a pain doing my fences with a brush.
@davidcooper4125 no problem. Happy to help and hopefully you get more info from the other videos on the channel take a look at the decking spray. Sometimes you may need to back brush fences to push the paint in. Its still alot faster
Great video I bought this machine recently and sprayed the blockwork internally in the garage and worked out great even with a novice like myself! What paint and tip would you recommend for spraying T&G cladding before I fit the cladding to the garage ceiling?
@stevepatrick9551 nice one. Have a look at sadolin superdec, used to be used to paint beach huts on the waterfront. Could be a good option. Maybe like a 310 tip
@@sprayaholic thanks a mil would the 310 tip work ok with a satinwood paint? My uncle mentioned as it’s a garage a good exterior masonary paint would work on the timber cladding also which I’m not convinced by..I know it’s cheaper to buy than satinwood timber paints.
@stevepatrick9551 i dont think it would last. Builders paint those massive fences that go up near building sites in masonry. Eventually splits off.
Satin would spray, may need slight dilution
Hello. I have a few questions about the generator. Is it enough to just pump water through the entire system for cleaning, or if it is not used for a longer period of time, should it be poured with some liquid, and if so, which one? Does the filter need to be cleaned inside? If so, where is it? One more thing, today I used it for the first time and even though I mixed the paint, the strainer on the hose that sucks the paint often got clogged. What could be wrong. Sorry for the mistakes, I don't write English well and I used a translator.
Hi thanks for your message.
There is no filter on the machine. Only the gun.
You may need to filter the paint into a tub first to avoid debris in the paint clogging the metal filter.
Graco pump armour is fine.
Shwmae Butty, what make and colour is the Green you are spraying?
Thanks for taking the time my friend,
Do you think if you strained the paint you could still have used the 410 tip just to give more control on speed etc
appreciate it. yes id say it would have made all the difference. it was blocking mid spray, not just while i was triggering on and off. but the 514 was a nice tip really middle ground from emulsion and woodwork, as you say more control with a 410 and less chance of runs if youre not used to the speed.
Thanks for the video,.
What tip would you recommend for woodwork (skirtings,doorframes etc) .
Thanks in advance
Thanks for watching. Usually i use a 310 or 210.
Hi Simon. Great video-I’ve had great success with the sprayer on ceilings and walls but would now like to do some finer finishes- ie kitchen cabinets. How do you work out which spray tips are compatible?
Generally a 210 or 310 would be the most used tips. The first number x 2 is the width in inches. So a 310. The 3 x 2 means 6inch fan. The last 2 numbers are how big the hole is, so bigger number more paint comes out, so usualy great for emulsions woth larger sizes like 517 519 etc
@@sprayaholic thank you so much for the reply. Sorry maybe my question wasn’t as clear as it should be. Are there specific Graco etc tips /guards that are compatible with the gun that comes with the Erbauer or are they all a standard fitting. Thanks again
@shadyamigo ah ok, so if you want to use graco tips buy a rac x guard. And the blue and green tips fit.
Tritech wagner etc should fit the guard it came with but personally id buy the branded guard i want to use tips with as they seem abit better made. 7/8" is the thread size so generally universal, but some brands do sell bigger versions.
@@sprayaholic thank you. That’s great
@@shadyamigo happy to help
I've been very tempted by one of these. I've never done spraying before so I want a cheap unit to learn with
For the money it does what it says it does. So long as thr paint consistency is fine you'll be good to go
@@sprayaholic currently at work there is a lot of patches of filler, I'd be painting with a roller generally but this would be good for a first coat on the filler, maybe I can use for mist coating too
@Curtis Sawyer i usually would thin 10 to 15% and just smash it out. You can coat up quicker as youre not touching the wall as you would with a roller. You can get 1 coat to flash dry in minutes then hit with a heavier coat
@@sprayaholic thankyou for the advice! I'll definitely look into it, don't have the money to drop on a Graco just yet haha!

Sorry only just seen the comments. I usually use a kitchen siv. Tights work well or fruit bags from the supermarket
Thanks for sharing. What dilution would you use for emulsion to try and avoid blockages? Thanks
Mist coat around 25 to 30% then top coats emulsion i think i did at 10 to 15% aprayed fine. Try filtering the paint into a seperate bucket to get the crap out

Thanks for watching. Yes im mid way through adding another video. I mistcoated and top coated with the 517tip and was really suprised how nice it sprayed. Hopefully the video will be up over the next few days
@@sprayaholic thanks so much. I’ll keep a look out for the video.
Thinking of getting one of these to paint our extension, empty only three windows to mask up. Be handy for fence panels as well. Would the included tip be fine for emulsion or would you upgrade it to same size Graco tip ? Or maybe a different size is more suitable for emulsion ?
I used the tip it came with to spray a big house, mist coat and top coats. It was suprisingly good.
I think I am going to pick one of these up for a job later this month and give it a go. Is it a metal pump? I seem to recall the cheaper Wagners having plastic pumps that have a tendancy to crack which means you just have to bin it.
This is plastic also. Yes those cheap.wagners werent built to be able to maintain. So run it to the ground and buy again
@@sprayaholic Wow, a mega quick reply. I'll give it a go based on your review (you need an affiliate link 😃). Two jobs and I will have made my money back.

I'm looking to spray my whole holiday 4 bed home with textured render walls inside. Rendered outside and bare block walls around garden. Do you think with the correct tip this machine would be up to it? Was originally looking at a used 350r which is obviously a better machine but at a higher cost.
Sorry just saw the comments. Did you get your answer? This will work with the right tips. But control and being dialed isnt as good on cheaper units
Hola buenas, sabes si lleva alguna entrada para poner aceite?
Mine leaked from the gun today from the spray Nozzle area, any ideas why? I cleaned it, made sure it was screwed on securely and still continued to leak 🤦🏻♂️
Check to see if the small metal circuit that sits inside the guard is missing. The cheap guards dont last too long thats why i recommend getting a branded one with tips
Hi there, I’m thinking of purchasing one of these for spraying outdoor fences. Would it manage fence paints/stains easy enough?
Thanks
Id say it should be fine for that yes.
Completely new to spraying and just doing my research, I’ve got a pebble dash garage I’m wanting to make look a bit prettier, is their something I could do to help it spray masonry paint a little easier? Thanks 😊
Have you already bought one? I would thin the paint down
If its un painted, id thin it 30% water. If its already painted id probably thin a minimum of 10% to 15% or if its struggling try 20% dilution. Should spray at that. Spray a section and drop a roller down the wet paint to push it in the gaps
@@sprayaholic I haven’t bought one just yet, but I’ve seen this one for £200 at b&q and from the reviews I’ve seen it’s quality for the price, I started painting the garage by hand but it’s way too time consuming
@Joseph Dawson ha ye even rolling you struggle to cover a big area. Give it a go for 200quid its a decent unit for the money really and would save alot of time. Just be aware of possible over spray in the wind. You can get in abit closer to the wall as you wont see the finish as its textured
Just bought one today do you need to water the paint and what ratio
@@davidclark618 i usually add 10% minimum to all my top coats
Great little review. Convinced me for our new extension aswell. Will the Wagner HEA Protips fit the supplied guard? Want to get a 515 and 311 and a 1.8m whip to go with it. Thank you 👍
Im not 100% sure. Whats the reason for the wagner hea tips?
The guard should fit tritech and which ever are the normal wagner tips. I think wagner have 2 different ones id probably just get a 1m whip as not sure how it will handle making the hose too much longer if you may gain some pulsing or not.
@@sprayaholic I figured I'd get a better result with a branded tip and most seem to recommend the Graco fflp or Wagner HEA. This is for mist coating and top coating with latex based emulsions. Good tip on the whip length thank you.
I'll look for the tritech equivalents.
@Daniel Marshall this is using the tip it came with. It was perfect. But in the long run yes probably better off with branded. And maybe low pressure ones to help the machine not run as hard
I have just bought one if these any advice would be great. Also where do I buy some tips from. I will be using a water based paint for bedrooms and a living room.
uk based. spraydirect.com i usualy dilute my paint about 10%, ive got a few videos on spraying so hopefully they will get you going. all the airless units are basically the same principle just differnt powers and models
@sprayaholic Hi, What tip would recommend I use I don't want loads of over spray and I see you say it only comes with one tip which is big ?
@sprayaholic Hi thanks for the reply, should I run amour in the pump after cleaning it out or is it something different for this pump ?
Many thanks
What extension fits this for ceilings mate thanks for the video
7/8 thread if i remember. So standard extensions
Hi there, I'm currently using a rubbish electric hvlp thing which does the job (just). I use sayerlack waterbased paint and am thinking I might plump for this as I just can't bring myself to spend 900 on a graco gf or 21 right now. I presume this will do the job nicely for cabinets and alcove units that I spray in a tent in my garden before assembly? Thanks in advance.
Anything is a step up. The more you spend often the more reliable thry are and easier youll find them to pump. You could look at middle ground wagner 250/350. But this should still get decent results as the results come from the tips and techniques. The sprayer just pushes the paint out
Hi, I don’t know if it been asked before but can you explain about the different tip sizes, thanks in advance.
Hi great vid where can I get the tips for this please many thanks
Thanks for watching. Ebay for cheap copies. Graco need a graco rac x guard and tips. The tritech, wagner and titan should fit in the guard it came with.
Hi, I’m going to buy this after your recommendation to spray my kitchen diner extension ceiling and walls. I think you mention it comes with a 517 tip but you eventually changed to a 510. Would I be ok using a 517 tip for emulsion if I thin it by 20-30%?
@PeterMurphy-z4p hey. It's good for the money. No emulsion keep with the 517. Mist coat thinned 30% and top coat thinned about 10%. Should be fine with that
@@sprayaholic thanks so much for your help and your video guidance
Also what range of tips would interchange easily with this product?
@@PeterMurphy-z4p I can't be certain. I'd rather buy a graco blue guard and lp or fflp tips. That way you're using low pressure tips which means the sprayer can handle it abit better
Hi mate, I have a pebble dash finish on my farmhouse. Its bit of a nightmare to paint. Will this machine be ok to go over the pebble dash? Eill i need to put a base of roller brush paint on and then go over it with a spray machine?
Cool vid
@themarksmanABP hey, yes youd could use this. Probably need to thin the paint though. If its bare never been painted. Id mix 30% ish water. I measure it out. Spray that coat. Dont go for full coverage.
It will help stick some loose pebble on the wall. Then id spray sections and just drop the roller up and down the sprayed areas and use it as a speed of application. You'll still fly doing this way. The roller help push paint into small gaps and areas.
@themarksmanABP my 2nd and may need a 3rd coat if it was unpainted. Id be thinning 10% to 15% . If its struggling to spray add abit more water
@@sprayaholic great help, thanks pal
Hi, can you comment on how noisy the device is in person? It seems from the video the spraying sound is the loudest aspect. Just wondering as the Wagner control pro is very loud when pressurising the line.
Im looking for a quieter option.
Thanks.
Its not quiet ha. If you want quiet youd have to look at a tritech or a graco 395 something like that. The cheaper units all sound like a star wars battle
@@sprayaholic Thanks, that’s helpful to know. I think my purposes a low noise compressor and mini HVLP gun will suit. I’m only looking to paint small items.
Hi. Great video and I bought this on seeing your video. Question. You swapped to a graco 514. How did it fit so easily? The standard handle doesn’t seem big enough ?
I mentioned i used a graco guard and tip for this one. I have used the 517 tip it came with to spray emulsion on walls and ceilings and it works great
Just spent so many back breaking hours spraying 2 coats on a large bedroom with a Wanger 690. What a pain filling that hopper constantly. I'm going to send it back and get one of these. Which 514 do you recommend, or any multi buy spray nozzle kits? Mainly for walls, ceilings inside, and some lollipop fencing. Thanks!
@TheReelIsle i would keep with the 517 it comes with
I made another video spraying walls and ceilings as was absolutely fine
@sprayaholic thank you for the reply, is that the mist coat short? Or did I miss another one of your vids?
@TheReelIsle yes. I sprayed a 5 bed house with it mist coat and top coats using only what it came with. So suprisingly went well
@sprayaholic that's great info cheers.
@@sprayaholic Sorry mate one last question, you still watered down your top coat by about 10-15% yeah?
Do you think this would be good for military vehicle paint? I’d thin it down obviously
it would be bit heavy and use a lot of paint.
I've been following your UA-cam videos closely and I must say, they have been incredibly helpful and enjoyable to watch, so thank you!
Recently, I hired a professional UPVC sprayer to work on an MDF wall unit but the final touch-ups went wrong and he has abandoned the job, so I’m considering respraying the top of the unit myself, and I came across this airless sprayer that looks promising. It would be great to know your thoughts on whether this sprayer should be suitable for my task. I'm also trying to find out the exact paint the professional used but the colour was Wimborne White in a satin finish. Can I expect this sprayer to deliver the satin finish I desire? Is it worth going for a different tip like the Graco 410?
Thank you and keep up the fantastic work!
Hey, I appreciate the comment. I'm sorry to hear about the other tradesman. This using could easily spray mdf units. It's basically just a small lower powered disposable version of the professional units. A 310 would give it a 6-inch wide fan a 410 would be an 8-inch fan. So, bear that in mind. Depending what paint they used, you could potentially just give it a quick sand with like 320g sandpaper and spray on. But if you go too heavy you may get runs. Always best to apply less and do more pass3s than go for gold in 1 coat. Ive had the farrow and ball colour mixed into several different paints from crown and johnstones decorating centres
The hvlp units are alot more controlled. Take a look at this video here.
ua-cam.com/video/Ze6cFS3SivY/v-deo.html
Was considering this for thr smaller stuff like doors think that's my mind made up
The pressure dial obviously isnt as accurate as most. But you can definitely spray alot of things with it. Better than i was expecting and i ran it for 5 days straight spraying a big house ha
Loving your videos, you've got me to buy one of these along with the Graco Tip and Guard. I unfortunately have done the typical bloke thing and not read whether the Satin would spray (Johnstones Aqua Satin) and it turns out its only for rolling and brush application (idiot that I am). Do you know of any satin paints I could use instead (Apparently Dulux Diamond Satin White is good, but I'm not sure how I can justify 2.5l for 57 quid!), and how do you know how much to water this down?!? (I was having to keep priming it to get it draw through the gun).
It's definitely worth having one as a backup . Or a dedicated sprayer for oil or bin . Nice demo mate.
yes i agree, saves contaminating a hose and its a sole purpose unit that doesnt matter if it blow up haha. appreciate the support
Whats it like painting ceilings, please? I'm a little concerned with spray back.
if you can keep to around 10 to 12 inches from the curface, youll have less over spray. the further away you are the more dry fall youll get.
Very tempted to get this to spray a 2 bed house. What brand of paint is bestbto use and do you need to thin it?
I wouldn't says theres a better brand unlessnyou start spending money.. ive gone plenty with leyland vinyl matt and contract from screw fix as usually a decent price. I use trade paints. Thin minimum of 10%
@Sprayaholic many thanks fir the info. Looking forward to my first step into spraying. Also really enjoying the channel
@@mrc_dan_gleeball1515 plenty of info on here if you need the help. More videos to come
Hello mate, i get a lot information any great advice from watching your vids, so much so I bought this model last week after watching your review about it. I sprayed a really ornate cornice in super quick time, around 20 mins to be exact. My question is this, I cleaned the machine and lines out as normal with any airless, but I can’t get the flipping handle off to get into cleaning the gun filter. It’s like it’s been glued in with lock tight. Any advice would be appreciated
Thats great to hear. Appreciate the support. Good question, i infact cleaned out without taking the gun apart as i didnt have my main adjustables on the job. Id be suprised if it didnt have a filter and could just be really tight. Theyre alot easier to get off if you have some bigger adjustables to get some leverage
@@sprayaholic I watched a UA-cam video yesterday, another guy was showing his way to clean out the Erbauer, and he easily just spun the grip off, I’ll try wd40 and a little bit heat. Thanks for your reply, very grateful
@Paul Sanderson he would have probably struggled before he started filming haha. Get 2 longer spanners on it if you can and it should crack open. But usually hand tight is enough to create a seal. I do prefer a slight nip up with a spanner
@@sprayaholic if it was anything like mine he will have sweated blood and tears. Anyway I will work on my one to free it. Thanks again, look forward to your next vids. Cheers
Can you use this sprayer for spraying car wheels, i.e. a solvent based paint or does it need to be waterbased?
This will spray solvent as it says it on the description on the sales page. But id say you dont want to be using airless for spraying wheels. Youd want a hvlp
@@sprayaholic Thanks for the response. Would this be a HVLP with a compressor or one you have reviewed for instance and electric one?
@Craig Newton yes youd get most of your control and power from a compressor set up and that's generally how its done. But you could get decent results with a hvlp turbine unit like the more powerful ones i use but those are around £1000 where as you could get a decent compressor set up for a few hundred
Hi, which brand tips and extensions are compatible with this erbauer sprayer?
Hi, how will this compare to a pressure pot system fed from the compressor? The pressure pot I have with 1.8 tip seems quite slow and lots of overspray. Thanks
This would be alot faster but potentially not as much control as its all or nothing. Also no air its just paint
@@sprayaholic thanks very much. Would this work on UPVC paint? Thanks
@Tadge it can handle solvents. But again i wouldn't be spraying upvc with an airless, youd be smashing too much on and using alot of material
Thanks for reply, what would you suggest for UPVC? Cheers
@Tadge either a hvlp turbine unit 5 stage idealy or a compressor set up. Compressor would be alot cheaper
I’m a novice can you use this sprayer on wood aswell as walls. And where the best place for tips
@petermurphy4662 yes you can. I usually google it to see the best prices or go on ebay
Thinking about buying this to do some interior block wall, I’ve been using fortress emulsion paint from screwfix but taking so long with the roller.. would you recommend this sprayer and what dilution should I use? Thanks
Cant go wrong for the money. Maybe need 15% dilution or 30% for a mist coat if bare block.
Then i would spray an area and use the sprayer as an applicator and drop the roller down it as it will push into all the small holes. Still faster than rolling alone
@@sprayaholic thanks for the reply, ordered one this morning, coming tomorrow so will try it out this weekend! Thanks 👌👌
@shaneslatcher3111 ye its a decent unit for the money. Just try to filter the paint aswel as any bits of can block up
@@sprayaholic what’s the best to filter the paint through with?
@shaneslatcher3111 i often use a kitchen siv. Hook it over a fresh bucket and pour into that. You'll be suprised the amount of crap thats in some paint tubs
Great bud. What tip would you normally use to spray emulsion etc?
Hey for me on bigger jobs a 618 tritech. On a smaller machine id be using graco low pressure tips a 517 is fine. The bigger you go the more chance for over spray and using excess paint. But anywhere between 516 for control to 518 and 618/619 for applying more quickly
Got one of these today. I found it a bit temperamental to start with but then got the hang of it. However, it really goes through the paint. I used 6l of Dulux Trade Contract Matt to do a mist coat on one bedroom (walls and ceiling)!! At £50+ for a 10l tub, it’s going to cost a fortune to paint my house. Anyone else find the same?
@@wilyc0y0te you can really lag the paint on quick. You may be applying too much. I'd be buying something alot cheaper for mist coating
@@sprayaholic yep, I’m going to have to get something cheaper, that’s for sure. The Dulux was recommended to me by a decorator friend. 😬
Now then mate, I’m new to this. What size tip would you recommend for an acrylic polymer?. I’m looking to spray my roof tiles with Everest trade premflex. Any advise would be most welcome. Cheers
@darrenshaw7759 youd have to read the data sheet for that particular paint. There should be a pdf online if you google it.
Not too sure if this particular machine would be suited to that coating
Thanks for the swift reply and advice mate 👍
@darrenshaw7759 i had a quick look and some one had sprayed it with a hvlp sprayer 50% diluted ha so im going to guess you could use this unit with the tip it came with. As it tells you how thick to spray it on.
Should be able to thin abit aswel to get it through the sprayer
@@sprayaholic I do have hvlp sprayer for fence panels but it only has a 1 litre pot, I’d be for ever stopping and refilling it 😂
I’m assuming that watering any product down won’t affect the finish, as the extra water will just evaporate?
By the way, thanks for this 👍👍
@@darrenshaw7759 is it not waterbased? The one i looked at said it was

Hey its EAPS600 if you search Erbauer airless im pretty sure they only have one. Thanks for letting me know. It seems everyone one ebay is out of stock now.

I’ve got this machine, I’ve got to spray some MRmfd kitchen doors with egg shell, I was thinking to shorten the hose to 4m and use a Greco fflp 312 tip. Do you think it could handle it ?
I wouldn't shorten the hose. Maybe swap to a 3/16 7.5m hose. Cant remember whats on it off the top of my head.
310 is my usual tip
Hello, great review. I'm really interested in this sprayer. Do you think its suitable for cabinets and joinery work. Wardrobes etc. Is there much overspray. Looking at reviews would probably get a graco tip guard and 210 tip for it.?
You may struggle with certain paints due to.paint thickness. But over spray comes down to technique and tips not the machine. If its all you can afford for a minute then it would get you into spraying until you can upgrade. A 310fflp would also be good aswel
Ok thankyou very much, do you think an hvlp would be better for me . I'm a carpenter and cabinet maker. Currently just roller and brush my work but would definitely like a sprayer. Do some large panels sometimes for wardrobes etc. Thanks you very much for your help. Great channel
@Dillon Wild no problem. Hvlp would set you back around 900quid for a good one. So you could get a better airless like a.gxff graco. Hvlp has more.control but can fog up rooms aswel. Unless you went.for a.compressor set up that could be cheaper but i dont know too much about those
Ok thanks, I'll think think this erbauer looks a good little machine to start.

Yes i sprayed mist coat and top coat on a 4 bed house with ease. Ive only used waterbased paints but it says it can take solvent too

If I can put oil / solvent through it. What do I use to clean it up?
Really appreciate your help on this.
Hey yes you can use solvent and waterbased. See the back of the tin for cleaning up. If its zinsser bin primer its methylated spirits. Normal oil based then white spirits usually
@@sprayaholic thank you!
Another question, the reason for my oil based question was for painting woodwork (doors and trim).
Need something really durable.
Is there a water based you would recommend for this?
You recommended a Tikkurila paint for ceilings, would you recommend their everal range for woodwork?
Would love to know your favourite paint manufacturers for different surfaces!
Really appreciate your replies!
@Andy Steward well i dont use oil at all really. Benjamin moore scuff x is great. Caparol haft primer and pu satin. Not super keen on the everal. Teknos is good. Mainly if brushing im using Benjamin moore, it goes.miles, covers great and is solid. Its more expensive but it saves me labour
Once again appreciate the reply. I’m looking to spray most of the wood, it’s skirtings and panelling. The caparol doesn’t seem to have any representation in the UK and I can only get it online (unless you know chain stores that sell it?) I know the panelling will take a pounding from the kids and the alkyd urethane technology sounded interesting!
The Benjamin Moore is £108 for 4 litres and only available in their colours. And I’m spraying rather than brushing.
Ideally looking for something that they will colour match to another brands colour 🙈
I also need bathroom paint…
@Andy Steward caparol i usually buy online from uk seller paint shack. Brewers probably sell it
Or look to tikkurilla again brewers will sell it or give them a call

If i can get the walls/ceilings sprayed out and woodwork primed with it for £200 then I'll be a happy man. I'll probably use the little bastard for spraying crown fast flow goss on my spindles every job after that too. That stuff is nasty. Will it accept a graco gun?
Did you get it going ok? I cant remember if i had issues trying to connect a whip hose to that hose. Should connect a new gun fine but i remember it wasnt as nice a fit as the other hoses.
@@sprayaholic I haven't actually used it yet, it's still in the van as I haven't sent the 390 off yet and that's still usable. I've just bought a contractor pc compact gun and it won't screw on to the fitting properly so I think I'm stuck with the erbauer gun, which isn't the worst to be honest, should be fine with a Graco guard and tip. How do you reckon the erbauer will hold up on a big 3 storey 4 bed house? I'm scared to send the 390 off incase the little one fails me and then I'm stuck. I know it's half the flow rate, but I don't know if it will handle that kind of hammering. Also, how do oil the pump on it? I see a little hatch on the top with a star key I think.....I should probably read the instructions 😂
Did you have the standard guard during this use, or switched it already?

Using the right tip yes. Youd probably need product thinned abit aswel. But it will spray it, just be down to technique to get the finish
@@sprayaholic won’t the pipes etc get all jammed once it dries
@hakimvlogs6579 dont let it dry in there. Inside is air tight so really its only the tip and the suction pipe that sucks yhe paint up that will dry over first. Once youre finished clean out with appropriate cleaner and then a warm soapy water wash after and should be golden. Spirits etc clean out alot faster and easier than waterbased as its a chemical reaction which breaks the paint down. Waterbased stuff hangs on longer and comes off bester when agitated
What size of extension pole fits this machine
Any 7/8 fitting should work as thats the thread on the guards
Is this any good for skirting boards or bannisters?

@@sprayaholic thanks for such a quick reply. I’m actually doing a 4 bed house with corridor and ceilings in a few weeks. Wanted to see if using an air sprayer was the way to go. Could this set up do ceilings?
@chrisg3726 ye i sprayed out a big house with this. Mist coats and top coats on walls and ceilings.
Like i said its great for the money
@@sprayaholicjust subbed to the channel. Any particular brand of emulsion for the mist coats/walls? Also stick to the tip size you used in this vid? Ps all the carpets are up so I’m kinda lucky to not have to be so careful! I may look at a hvlp for the skirts if it is worth the extra layout!
@chrisg3726 i would get the graco guard i say in this video. And then you can buy say a 210 and 310 for woodwork. You may need to thin the paints down abit.
You could do it all in airless. You'll use a bit of paint though so be aware of that. The tip it comes with worked fine for walls and ceilings. But again if you get a graco rac x guard then you can get a 517 low pressure tip. With the tips being kow pressure, they help not let the machine try as hard to get a nice spray fan. Take a look at one of my newer videos. Understanding tips
Would this be good for commercial use ?
No. It would probably break down.
But for the money if you needed one and ran it into the ground for a job and wasnt bothered if it blew up it would probably work for a.good while. Depending on the paint used and how thick it was
Does the gun take Graco or other brand gun filters mate?
It wouldnt take a graco filter. But possibly would a tritech wagner as they are usually interchangeable
Can u use with masonry paint?
Yes but you would need to thin it with water maybe 10 to 15% to begin with. Use a measuring jug. And a whisk for a drill for ease
Thanks so much for this video! I went ahead and bought one and had excellent results the first two uses but am now stuck with an issue I'm hoping you can help with: it's basically spraying as a jet in both of the spray tip orientations. Did from the start today using a clean setup. It does this both with emulsion which worked perfectly previously, and with just water. I've cleaned and re-cleaned everything but no success. Any clues?
Sounds like there might be some crap stuck on the tip. If emulsion has been used. Put it in.a cupof hot soapy water then get a tooth brush and brush the front and back of the tip holes.
Also worth checking to see if the metal circle seat has fallen out of the guard. Take a lool in the guard and see if a part looks like its missing. The tip will sit against it once fitted
Thanks mate, that's very helpful. The union and seal are definitely still in there, so hopefully just clogged. In the meantime I've bought a Graco LP tip and holder so I'll just try that when it arrives. Thanks again!
@Luke Lambeth sounds good man. Should work a dream
