Industrial Air Tools
Use a spray gun such as Binks #2001 gun with a 59BSS x 559 needle assembly and a 251 internal mix nozzle. 15 (Cubic Feet per Minute) CFM is needed with a 3/8” fluid inlet.
Or
Use a Binks #7D gun with a 57SS x R-30 internal mix nozzle. 16 CFM is needed with a ½” Fluid inlet.For technical assistance with Binks Air tools, call Binks Customer Service @ (973) 575-6660.
Consumer Air Tools
Sears - Craftsman #15524 gun with an external mix nozzle. This gun requires 7.0 CFM, therefore use a compressor with 9.0 CFM at 50PSI. For technical assistance with Craftsman Air tools, call (901) 423-7983.

Ace Hardware, Lowes, Home Depot and W.W.Grainger - DeVilbiss Air Power #AS300 gun with an external mix nozzle. This gun requires 7.0 CFM, therefore use a compressor with 9.0 CFM at 50PSI. For technical assistance with DeVilbiss Air tools, call (901) 423-7983.
When using a spray compressor, the operator should always wear a respirator with chemical absorbing cartridges.
Make sure to thoroughly mix Herculiner. A drill with a mixing adaptor works best. Herculiner can be thinned with up to 15% Xylene if desired.
To initially adjust the air/Herculiner mix, always start with the air pressure. Then slowly raise the fluid pressure gradually lowering the air pressure until the desired flow rate and spray is reached. NEVER open the fluid valve first. This will cause the fluid to back up in the gun due to the lack of air atomization pressure. Air and Fluid pressures should be equal. Always favor the air pressure side. However, if the air pressure is too high fluid flow will reduce to zero.
During breaks and when finished spraying, the air nozzle must be removed and cleaned with Xylene. In addition the hoses should be wiped off.
Minimum requirements of air compressor: 11-16 CFM @ 50PSI
