And remember that leaning too far over will cause paint to pour out, when it didn't before. I recall vividly (because the colour I was painting was red and quite vivid) my first attempt when I got my 100LG! Banged Head [banghead]

So long folks!

It shouldn't take you long to transition Bill.

Just push the trigger down and pull back slightly until paint starts coming out and go from there. 

It takes a little getting used to at first especially with the color cup now being on top but with a few hours practice you should be doing just fine.

New Badger 100 LG--Switching from Single Action, and Tips, Drills?

I have decided to retire my 25+ year old Badger 200, a single action, siphon feed AB that has served me well for it's life.

I got a 100LG, I wanted to switch to gravity feed for the lesser air flow needed, fewer parts to clean, and naturally wanted to go DA instead of SA.

How "different" is a DA brush?  Mechanically, I understand depress for air, slide for paint volume.  Is that about it?

Thanks,

Bill
