I loved the Apla Tech spray rig we had back in 99', not sure if it was a custom job by one of our guys or not,but it had the whole setup on a truck platform cart with a small table with compressor underneath. Cant find anything simular online... so it might have been custom.

Anyways, learned to spray with it, blow-and-go, this thing was a monster. I could shot 18' high with good results. We rented one of the graco's for a gym we did at Camp Penalton last year, I think my Dewalt Emglo and Wallboard hopper sprays faster :blink:

Another thing I like for lids is to have a rubber pipe coupler between hopper and gun, great for babying your shoulder as needed

Ill take that as a compliment:thumbup: after dumping box in bucket fil rest of bucket with water[dont fill completely unless you want to make a mess]then mix . bucket should be as full as you can get it real soupythere now you know how Imix .lso I dont fill hopper completely up my arms arent that big and once again can get real messy justa lil over half you can spray faster and more effectively. there was approx. 4500 feet on 10 foot lids and rest were walls some t bar also so lots of walls only. Have used practically all portables and they all SUCK maybe if I went and bought the newest best model it may last 2 or 3 jobs before problems arise . never have problem with hopper and second to smallest tip is what i use. P.S. my orangepeel looks like a real oranges peel...if that makes any sense:whistling2:

Old post, but this is exactly how I mix and spray :thumbsup:
Only thing you gotta be careful of when using such thin mud is if you slightly overtexture an area good chance of a bubbly look. Sprays fast as all hell as far as hoppers are concerned though, I had a graco on one job(not sure design number) and I was moving half speed compared
