I'm surprised you had a problem with the Preval Sprayer. The few times I've used one it seemed to atomize about the same as a typical rattle can. A light, soft spray to be sure, also like a rattle can, perhaps even softer. I don't think you are supposed to thin specifically for a Preval. Do the same as you would for any standard spray gun. The times I've used one has been with epoxy primer - standard mix - no thinning. They wouldn't be appropriate for surfacer however, at least not without excessive thinning. As I recall the pattern, like most rattle cans, is essentially round instead of oval so that may have something to do with it. Of course typical rattle can paint is quite thin anyway and easy to run unless you apply light coats. The advantage that I see in a Preval unit for small, intermittent jobs (smaller than for a spot gun) is that there is no gun cleaning required. I've used my Preval sucking from a 2 oz paper cup that is thrown away afterwards so there is not even a need to clean any container. I agree that for anyone with a spot gun, they have a limited use but there are times when one is the preferable alternative. Sometimes when I am sanding surfacer over epoxy, I will inadvertently sand through the epoxy to bare metal. A quick spot of epoxy via a Preval is preferable to bothering with a spot gun for only a quarter-sized spot. They also would be good for epoxy-priming small parts quickly after sandblasting if one didn't have a spot gun or didn't want to bother with a spot gun for a single small part. Rod
