HELP!! Need to Identify these spray guns....

[jzarski]

Hello all, I am a first time poster in need of your help. I purchased a Binks B5 system a month and with it came two glascraft two component guns. I can not find any info on these and glascraft was of no help. I want to use these with my system and can't figure out how to calibrte and hook them up to my system. The system is in working order just need to get the right hose to the right spot on the gun.. Here is the gun I am talking about. There are four hookups on the back.. If anyone has any clue what model make anything please let me know.



Thank you
John

That gun is very old, you most likely won't be able to get parts for it.

Wow just before i left new zealand in october 2010 i threw a complete gun assembly in the rubbish !!!
It had chopper motor and had all new seals fitted ,we kept it as a spare assembly . Oldie but a goodie .

Easy to use , easy to clean and a breeze to maintain .Simple is best !!

you need the air cap number, so some air caps work on siphon and pressure pot, others only work on siphon
Do you have the siphon cup or are you wanting a pressure set up?
Is it a lo press hi vol gun or
look guns are as cheap as chips so you may just start over
or if you want a pro career you can go De Vilbliss or Binks, that is not a Binks gun , but some trade name

What are you spraying?

Its a glass craft gun without the chopper on top and if you get hold of the guys at plycraft they probably still got bits for them . were used for spraying polyester resin and also gelcoat .

That is a very old model gun, I had a chopper unit like that in the 80's and I don't think I could get parts at that time, but you never know, you may be able to find some.

The Binks pump system should work well.

What type of catalyst system does it have? The pressure pot type catalyzers are poor at best, slave arm units work well.

Best to build a glass case to put it in and put it on a shelf some where . It had a complicated pressurised tank with a tapered glass tube with a ball inside and the scale marked on the glass and adjusting flow knob at the bottom .. Has internal mix and no its a low pressure system and the later hi pressure pumps etc wont work . Get yourself a venus gun they will spray resin as well as gelcoat and are reliable as !! must be a lot of older modles about that are still usable / servicable and work well if looked after .
