Hello Michael, thanks for the information on the sprayer and kind words. I’ve driven through your neck of the woods when I was a flatbed driver. The Canadians love that cedar too, pro paying a good price for it. One of the reasons this new venture is working out for me is there is so much eastern red cedar here in East texas, and everybody wants it. Except for those who have it growing on their property. I’ve actually gotten it for free. This is an oil based poly I used and when I need some more I’ll try out the water based. Was just looking at the Apollo sprayers too, they look similar to the Fuji and the only reason I was looking at those is a few furniture builders I was chatting with mentioned it. So yours has lasted 10 years, that’s pretty good. I’m definitely going to need one, the humidity is so bad here I’d never be able to just plug a spray gun into a compressor.
