Getting a Fuji Q4 Gold, What do I need.... Tim...Scott...Tom..Others?

[Mauri Motti]

I just got a T-70 siphon/bottom feed to use with a pressure pot. It is the only bottom feed gun I own, my preferred is a gravity. I used my Xpc side/gravity feed for years with a pot, the hose off the side was a bit of a pain.

With all your changes, as Tim said get the PPS system. They make different size liners, I used an 8 ounce last night to stain a few shelfs I missed on a count. Nice to just throw away the liner. Get a restaurant condiment bottle, trim the tip to fit the PPS adapter, you can flush the gun without turning on the turbine.

I like pressure pots. They have served me well. The change out can be a pain if you need multiple finishes/colors.

In my 38 man hours thread the stain was shot with the Xpc/PPS combo and the finish shot through the T-70 connected to the new pot. I had planned on using a AAA for the finish, long story why I did not use it.............

When you swap out needles make sure you check the packing nut. It may need to be snugged to prevent dripping.

I did a photo post on the PPS married to the Xpc. I believe it is in the dealer section, I believe it was K-119 who asked about it.

My turbine is a Q4 Gold.

Hi Tom! Finally here  [big grin]

Maybe a pressure pot it'll be, but in the future that is. I learned now how the pot benefits in many ways but I guess I'm not ready to jump into something unknown again after I figured out the use and benefits of an hplv and the Q4 in particular. Went back to your last 180 posts and gave up finding your post regarding PPS and the XPC. Also dint find it in the dealer section or through the "search" option. Nevermind, I'll do some more googling. From my understanding I need the #18 adaptor to fit PPS to the T70 gravity. Gravity is what ill get. I do understand the benefit of a siphon in combo with a pressure pot. Let me learn how to use the Q4 first and make me want a pot later  [laughing]
Would you please explain again how to flush the gun without the turbine? I dint really get that part... Sorry.

Thanks for chiming in.
Kind regards,
Mauri

If you consider Cleveland "here".

I have followed along, just been a little busy. My posts aren't that great to begin with, they get worse (if that is possible) when I'm tired.

Well I've got all but the smallest one of these since I have the older Xpc gravity gun, but yes they cost a bit, but I'd rather have the selection at hand than begin ordering a new one from the UK when I find out that a size smaller or larger would be needed. I think that compared to the 10 days to wait for delivery in the middle of a project is well worth the extra £150 up front  [wink]

Didn't quite understand what I could use the smallest one for since to my knowledge I don't plan on spraying ink or spray tan on anything and don't really know what shading is, but expect it to be something artsy... I bought the sprayer primarily to do shellac, lacquers, paint on furniture, wood oils on garden fences and the occasional latex paint job around the house if the wife requires a redecoration which I assume I'm pretty much covered with the 1mm, 1.4mm, 1.8 and 2.2mm aircaps.

Of course I would like to know is there some specific task in wood finishing that would actually require the 0.7mm aircap and I might add it to my collection to complete it...  [embarassed]

Ordered...

Congratulations!
You're on another slippery path...
Post some pictures when you can.

Uhm, I just noticed that you have ordered an old XT model aircap - do you have such a gun in addition to the T70 gun that you ordered? I'm pretty sure its incompatible with the T70 gun.

Reiska is correct the XT and XPC air caps are both different from the T Series.
Your Gold package deal will come with a 1.3 Air Cap set.

Get them to send you 5100-5 T-Series Air Cap Set 1.8mm and make sure the 2.0mm air cap set you have on your list is a 5100-6 T-Series Air Cap Set

Oh no!

Thanks for pointing that out. Will write them an email right away as they didn't confirm shipment yet!
And thank you Tim, I'll try to arrange instead the 5100-5 T-Series and make sure its the 5100-6 T 2.0mm
What a bummer.. And yes Tim, I will up some pictures when it gets here  [big grin]
Ok, also had some more emails with 3M Finland and guess what  [eek] A representative will come to my shop to introduce me to the PPS system. I made clear once again that I'm "just" in the market for their cups, liners and an adaptor etc. but they try to help out end users where they can, so they said. This is great! To me this "service behaviour" comes across so North American  :.. You're checkin this Reiska?! I, obviously, totally appreciate this!

Better yet  the Xpc-G had a run of nozzles and needles that are different than any other gun. Wanna guess who owns one of those and needs a 4H? I was told I have to call Fuji to get it due to the odd run.

Tom:
I have a 3H and a 5H for the XT...that I ordered and couldn't return...

I have a "normal" 4H I ordered for my gun. Can't return it, now I have to call Fuji to get the one I need. The "normal" one has a shoulder, my "special" one has no shoulder.
