1.0 out of 5 stars Junk, June 30, 2001

I don't recommend this to anyone wanting to use it for spraying on Stucco. The first day I used it, it didn't even work right. When I put third batch of mud I put in it got jammed up. The needle valve had gotten stucco in it and it wouldn't spray. The fourth batch was fine but on the fifth batch it messed up again. This time it was getting air but it wouldn't spray the stucco. I only tried it on stucco so I don't know how it would do on the other things it claims that it is able to do. So my advice is to save your money until they improve on their gun.

3.0 out of 5 stars DRYWALL TEXTURE, April 14, 2002

Have utilized a friend with a "standard" pattern gun previously, but decided to get one of these units for myself. The item(s) that caught my eye were the closed lid and spring loaded top to provide down pressure to the spray gun.
Unit was easy to load and use, especially with no fear of spills.
One thing lacking for me was a better set of instructions...with a new tool, it's always helpful to have comments and suggestions for use from the manufacturer. If my friend had not been there to lead me through on the set-up and mixing, I would have had a long day of guessing and keeping my temper.
Also, no markings on the patterns as to which is what size and they are plastic...not a real fan of plastic parts on tools.
Overall, it did what it was supposed to do for me.
I do review this website prior to any tool purchase. Am in agreement with the reviewer having problems with a thick mix like stucco. We had to thin the texture mix about 25% thinner than the same mix with a "standard" pattern gun.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money, January 30, 2003

I purchased this device thinking that since it was made by a reputable company, it had to be good. The concept of the gun & hopper is great except that the concept here does not work. I've mixed various materials of different viscosities and they all fail to gravitate to the lower portion of the hopper into the gun. The spring-loaded piston like lid is designed to 'push' the material into the gun, only it doesn't do the job either. The various orfices are difficult to load into the gun as well. On a positive note, the best feature on this gun is the air control is located on the gun handle as opposed to being on the air compressor. I'm getting rid of my 13602 and going back to the conventional gravity-fed hopper.
