I have been using this sprayer for 2 years now and I am really impressed with the results. The product in the bag is real drywall mud. Beats using spray cans.
I hate the spray cans. Shrinkage makes it hard to match the existing texture. When I use my hopper, I don't have that problem. But on small jobs to much hassle to use it.
These things are great. I saw your first video about it and got one. I’ve used it several times for orange peel and knock down and they both blended well!
@@MillisConstruction how do you get last drop out of it. I imagine I can strain the hand if you squeeze it like that. Maybe gen 2 will be upside down design?
Would love to see some experimenting to see if it's possible to spray some popcorn texture. One thing I run into a lot is repairing wall to ceiling joints and then getting the texture back on the edge.
If you could put popcorn in either one of these bags or a custom bag to go on it I would think it would work. It has a fairly good sized nozzle on it that should flow
I made a mini hopper for my wall-board it's nice, the cleanup is quick. The downfall is having to have an air compressor with I'm currently looking for the smallest lightest one I can do. I currently have a senco pancake but I want something lighter than that. I do have the harbor freight 50 some db quite run in my shop but not sure it could handle a construction environment. It was leaking air a few months after purchase. Anybody have any recommendations on a very lightweight compressor. Most of the jobs I have been doing have required a twin tank and hopper. But I would like something small for little patches because I still do a lot of them as well. For medium orange pill you can get away with a can, but when it comes to fine orange peel use a hopper.
@@1stFlyingeagle no, it’s fed by squeezing the bag. The texture size is determined by how hard you squeeze it and how high your air pressure is. It’s a really easy system to get used to using.
@@MillisConstruction I totally get it man. So do I! That’s why I said that. However, I would have like to see some use of the product. Been tearing my hair out to match our orange peal texture in my laundry room
@@outdoorproductreview what would you like to see it do? I mainly do knockdown around this area. I did a really short clip of this as a short also that may have shown more. I also have the full videos of just using it I’m sure in my storage folders, I’d be happy to send some of it over for you if it would help in any way

Great video! I've wanted to pick one of these up and play around with it, sure looks effective and handy
I've seen them but ignored it. Now I'm sold. Thanks for the video
Mighty handy! Kind of not the tools I usually cover here but the thing has been impressing me

@@SharpBlockSoft it’s really soupy stuff. Very easy to squeeze. It’s not like trying to squeeze out normal mud. More like squeezing a milkshake
Dude, Your the man!!!
You the man!

@@MillisConstruction I'e seen a youtube video where a guy fills a rubber glove with mud to save on the bags. I'll see what I can come up with.
I strongly agree with this 👍
Great tips!
Can you mix and make your own normal mud and somehow attach it to the gun?
Thanks Joseph😎💸😎💸😎💸😎

What’s the compressor you use?
This is running on the Rolair JC10 Plus. It’ll run on the air buddy rolair also but only for pretty small stuff.
@@MillisConstruction do you think a portable air tank will work instead of hauling around a compressor for mostly small patch work?
@@fadusysko I’ve never tried that. It’d work for a patch probably. I’m not sure about more than one. It would depend on the tank size.
So convinient...
HD sells the gun and the bags.
That’s good to hear! I wish lowes would pick it up. We don’t have Home Depot here.
@@MillisConstruction So it creates a vacuum and sucks the compound out like a hopper gun?

I'm disappointed.
After shaking the bag vigorously I still get water and mud boogers.
Seems to clog easy.
How are you storing your bags? I’ve literally never had that issue before and I shoot 2-3 bags per week on commercial maintenance work 😅
Lots of talking and you said time is money
Absolutely! I get paid for you watching 😉 thanks for watching
