The Upholstery Forum

For the folks on the Canadian side of the border, Canadian Tire has a paint gun on sale.

Getting the bits and pieces to start practicing upholstering.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up!

While my French is non existent it looks like the add says it is a 1.4 mm in one place and a 1.8 in another. For glue 1.8 would be best. It might be wise to double check the cap size though I have been told they can be drilled out.

Good catch John!!

I looked on the gun and it is stamped 1.4 on the cap.

Worst-case scenario if they do not sell separate caps, I now have a paint gun for when I learn how to paint!

At that price you can afford to try drilling out the cap some. Just be sure you don't go bigger than the needle... You will be in trouble.

After all what, is the worst that can happen? You have to skip a night out to dinner to make up the forty bucks.

I am in the states so cheap Harbor Fright guns are very affordable. Some one on here posted that they would not use a gun because they were not willing to clean it. I don't clean mine either but if I have to replace it once per project so be it. The convenience is more than worth it to me. If you cap the air vent the glue will last a surprising amount of time.

I dont clean my gun either. 2 most common problems are the vent has gotten plugged or the glue has gotten thick in the bottom of the cup. Both super easy fixes. If that doesnt work then I get a new one.

I returned it and got another one at Princess Auto with a 1.8 nozzle.

Thanks for the heads-up on nozzle size guys.
