I was coming here to say the same thing. How does the door knob attach and tie into the book and door catch?

Wait, does the knob literally just have a hole drilled in the side of the case... and then tilts the back of the book forward enough to pull on the cable to open the door?

For the outside of the gun, I would clean/brush it off immediately before it dries too much. I know that it will inevitably be partially dry, but the sooner you clean it the easier it will be. You can also take a nonabrasive tool to 'scrape' the outside, like a popsicle stick or plastic putty knife. Test an area to make sure it does not mar the surface. There is also the magic eraser, although this is a mild abrasive, it'll work.

@@Construction101 Thanks for your reply.

That's typical of painting. I describe painting as 85% prep and clean-up, 10% technique, and 5% actually applying paint. I painted the exterior of my house with a paint sprayer, it took about 8hrs to do the job...6 of those hours were masking off EVERYTHING.

This sounds like it could be one of multiple issues: you may have some build up inside the downtube, your paint is not the right consistency (too thin or too thick), or you could have a worn out seal in the trigger assembly or nozzle area. Be sure to thoroughly clean the gun after each use to prevent build-up.

I don't use it too often, but it's still holding up. The one thing I don't like about it, is that it sprays such a fine mist, that the paint particles blow all over if you're in a windy or non-ventilated area. Make sure the surrounding areas are covered, so as to not get overspray on anything.

Yes. This is primarily a stain and sealer sprayer. You need to dilute the paint in order to use it properly. Check out the video on how to paint with the Wagner spray gun... it shows how to dilute.

The Wagner Double Duty Control Spray gun is designed to be used with thin bodied materials. The Behr Enamel would not be a good fit for this gun. Wagner makes other models that are made for thicker paints. The enamel should not be thinned as it is formulated to be self leveling and dry to create a hard shell. Cabinet and Trim Paint can be sprayed using an airless sprayer with a .013-.015" tip. Do not thin.

@@Construction101 thank you so much. This is helpful.

@@Construction101 what is the paint you used for your bookcase

@@echavez397 I used Behr Premium Plus Ultra (now just called Ultra), Paint and Primer in one, Semi-gloss... diluted quite a bit for use with this gun.

@@Construction101 thanks. How are you finding it holding up on the bookshelf. Would you recommend it?

Here's some troubleshooting tips for your issue with the spray gun: 1: The spray tip itself is set in a default position. It’s possible you have this on clean instead of spray. If that’s the case, no paint will come out when you try to use the sprayer. 2: Spray gun filters get dirty and you will have to clean these. With a wrench, you should be able to remove the spray gun filter to clean it. Use an oil-based or mineral-based cleaner, soap, and warm water.

Free and helpful information. If you don’t like it….don’t listen to it and move on. Why complain….Geez 🙄

Thanks for the correction, I had my definition backwards.

The door opening had a RO of 30" x 82". The jamb was 5/8" around the opening, leaving 28-3/4" wide. So the bookshelf was 28" x 80-1/2". The wood that was used was birch hardwood plywood 3/4". The important part, structurally, is to dado groove the shelf supports and edges, so the bookshelf is sturdy.
