Sotar What do you think??

Here is my review of it.  Since you bought one, tell us what your think.

Hi Don

I just finished reading your review of the Sotar &  it was very good and I especially like your photos of it disassembled..Thanks for taking the time to do all those reviews

After I get a little use with it,  I'll post my likes and dislikes if any.

I have one and like it. There isn't really anything about it I don't like. The tip/nozzle is very small so do as the instructions say when you tear it down. Hold it with the nozzle end up when you screw off the regulator and hold down ring. Put a towel or something on the table/bench so if you drop the tip it won't bounce away and work back from the edge. It's kinda hard to find if you drop it. If you have the fine tip version some paints may be difficult. White will be. Metallics won't spray well if at all. Get used to removing the tip because you may have to clean it often. You may have to rethink your thinning ratios. But once you find what it needs it's a great little brush. It will work at low pressure with very little overspray. You can work very slowly with it if you need to. It's very responsive, you barely have to move the trigger to get paint flowing. If you have to pick the needle be gentle, it's very easy to get a slight bend in it but it's also easy to straighten if you do. I prefer using the unguarded regulator because it's easier to pick the needle and I think it has a better spray pattern than the regulator with arms. With this brush I definitely seal the threads on the head and regulator with beeswax.

Thanks Wingman

Do you find that you have to thin the same paint more or less than any another .2 n/n brush??

It's the only one I have. Doesn't seem to be that much different from the .30mm brushes I use but some colors need a little more thinner. Before I bought the Sotar I was using brushes with .50 and .70mm nozzles and it took a while to get used to thinning enough to use low air pressure.
