    Anyone trying to sell an external mix chopper gun please contact me at f3m3@yahoo.com I started a small glass shop and need a chopper gun. New project coming up and need to get in the production phaze. Money is limited! So if you have or know of any chopper guns at a inexpensive price please let me know. I don't have a problem traveling to go pick it up. I'm located in Tennessee.

    Hey Doug, I called that number and spoke to someone but the person who was to call me back never did as of today. Hopefully he may. Thanks again. I had another guy contact me and I'm still keeping my options open looking for the best deal and quality. I'll let you know what happens and if I find a good lead I'll let you know! Have a good one!

    Thanks! LOL . I got a lead on a guy in New York and it's going to be a long drive if I have to go there to look at it. But I won't complain. I just want one that will work out for my shop. He said the pump may need to be repaired. I'll take a look at it and see. He said he has another that is in good shape and a gel gun. So I'm hoping something will come of this. I'll let you know what happens!

    LOL! Keep in mind that using and maintaining a chopper gun is no pastoral activity, either. Basically, fiberglass sucks. Good luck. Sam

    Thanks Sam,lol. I have been using chopper guns for over 15 years. I hate the itching but oh well. I love the things I can build. Fiberglass is only limited to the mind. I like to do projects that challenge my mind in how many moulds it will take to produce the part I want. I love multi part moulds. I am Thankful for this site and the people in it. Most people are ignorant in what it is we can build with fiberglass, to bad for them, but, thats good for us! Have a good one Sam!

    I've got a Magnum Venus system for sale. It was originally bought in a resin transfer molding configuration but is too big for our use. I understand a spray head/chopper gun attachment is all that is needed to convert it. Let me know if your interested, will send pics, more info, will wood crate it for shippment.
