Can you get different needles and orifices for your gun? My Wagner
Capspray gun takes five different sets, depending on whether I am
spraying lacquer, alkyd enamel, latex paints or glue. There is quite
a bit of latitude with a particular orifice set, depending on the
degree of thinning, but trying to put rocks thru a fine seive is going
to take time, no matter what reducer is used :-)
