As others have mentioned, no problem just letting gun sit as a coat drys. Even if you get distracted and let things sit overnight, anything that has hardened in the gun can easily be cleaned up with...
The powder groove is a nice touch, beside powder, primers love to roll off the table. I can't tell from the photos, but I didn't see any back panel or cross bracing. Is it sufficiently resistant to...
I have a Bausch & Lomb 81-42-0. 1.8x with three lenses:Focal Distance (Inch) 6, 8, and 12. 14" focal distance should be fine.
Without question, go for the C26, the MM16, and don't look back. Don't buy a CMS until you've had time to work with a sliding table saw and see if you still think you need one. Unless you do trim...

Rub out existing rust spots with 3M pads, apply boeshield, and cover with tarps.
What size is your compressor - how many CFM? To keep at your price point you may want to consider a low CFM HVLP spray gun or LVLP spray gun. Latex can be a challenge with an HVLP, but there are...
Your solid stock has a strong red tint. Using Transfast you should be able to bring the Walnut plywood close to your solid stock. Keep in mind, the room likely doesn't have much/any natural light...
One other material to consider as alternative to latex is Target Coating's line of WB tinted lacquers.

I'll echo high marks for my MM16. For resawing I use the Lennox Tri-Master 1". For blades smaller than 1/4" check out "Sammy Blocks" idea from MM's Sam Blasco....
Looks great, but I have to ask . . . two clocks?
The EM6500 will bond well to the cured Gemini Lacquer without the need of an intermediate sealer. Fine sand the nitro and wipe down with DNA. EM2000 over EM65000 will also work fine, it is water...
The last few years I've pretty much been using Target Coatings exclusively. Lots of good options out there, but look at Target Coatings EM8000 Conversion Varnish. I used it on a large bar project...
I've never used one, but probably an OK light duty clamp. For just a few dollars more, why not just get a Jorgensen clamp? They'll last a lifetime, are largely still manufactured in the U.S., and...
Boiled Linseed Oil.
You can use a wash coat under virtually any finish. If you have some offcuts, test them without a wash coat and check the results. Blotching is subjective in terms of desirability. In some cases,...
I don't use Formby's Tung Oil because I'm not sure what's in it, and from what I've read it's combination of varnish and linseed oil. It may be a decent product, but I won't use a product without...
Sounds like you've found a good solution. If you are still interested in what can be achieved with your spray gun (high gloss white coating suitable for trim, cabinets, etc . . .), I would suggest...
Floetrol doesn't thin the paint, it is a conditioner which improves leveling properties to eliminate brush drag marks. Can be used in spraying applications much like an extender allowing for a...
Try cleaning your gun. As others have mentioned, Acetone works well. Get all small orifices clear, thin spring wire works well.
As to temperature, I try to keep my shop above 60 degrees, but...
I only have a small compressor, and found blowing compressed air as recommended in my Oneida's manual an exercise in frustration. Alternatively, I removed the filter, took it out to the driveway and...
First, beautiful chest of drawers. Nice proportions.
I'll echo what others have said, no need to go past two coats of EM6000 if you are happy with the results. If this were a desk or table top...
De-Waxed shellac is the key. You should have no compatibility problems.
Disassemble the gun, and clean it with the appropriate solvent. That doesn't mean immersing it in solvent. Get a lab squeeze bottle that will dispense a fine stream. Gun cleaning brushes work...
EM6000 is formulated for spraying, but it can be brushed. I've brushed it on small test boards and been surprised at how well it levels out. It does dry quickly, so larger panels may require a...
