Home made dry flake gun

Made a dry flake gun out of a HF 34 oz. media blast gun with moderate success. I will try again with a different base color and try with actual clear, the wax & grease remover evaporated too fast and blew a bunch of the flake off the test pannel. PART 2 to come in the future.

Thanks for sharing. I feel like the thing that everyone messes up on with these diy flake busters is leaving the tube long enough to suck up flake...I think that's why everyone I see they blast it on while dusting it on. If you look at the actual flake busters they work simply on the air drawing the flakes out of the jars and not actually sucking the flakes up. If that tube touches the pile of flakes in the bottom while spraying it's gonna swallow a shit ton and blast it right out like I see on your panel. Idk maybe I'm wrong but I'll be trying this and I'm gonna cut the tub down so it's flush to the bottom of the lid

concur... you need a vortex to dust the delivery

a regulator with a upol spray gun is what im going to try, the upol just needs the tube cut down like you did. $21 for the upol.

Hello loove your invention lol, i was looking through videos cause i need something like this to apply bigger size glitter flakes to substrates such as piñatas,...lol,.. the glitter cannot be mixed with any fluid cause it needs to be dry,....ofcourse the glue is applide separate and before with a brush....but applying the bigger glitter flakes is where I am braking my head as to with what or what is the best method....if i do all you did to costumize it will i still be able to apply it just fine and to adjust it for finer flake?.....have you tried to apply glitter with your invention?...that is my question. Thank you.
