How to use the Mace Pepper Spray Gun

In previous years, the majority of the choices for a pepper spray delivery system were limited to just canisters. As time and technology went by you could start to find it hidden in benign appearing objects like lipsticks, batons and pens as well.

Thanks to the first-rate people over at Mace International, we now have yet another alternative in the form of the Mace Pepper Gun. This handy little device has quite a few capabilities that are not available with the other delivery devices.

The Mace Pepper Gun uses their patented Bag-in-a-Can Technology. This allows the device to sustain a constant stream even when turned on the side or upside down! Not only that, it sprays up to twenty five feet away which is more than twice what most of the other delivery methods will do.

As for easy to use, it just doesn't get much simpler to use than the Mace Pepper Gun. Once loaded with a pepper canister, you simply aim and shoot. To simplify the process they even integrated a LED light for the weapon.

This LED light affords three central benefits:

1.   Much like the laser light on a gun wherever you point the light is where the pepper spray will land; This makes aiming for his face very simple. Shine the light directly in his eyes and blast away until he is screaming out in agony from the burn!
2.   An added benefit of the LED light is that when you do shine the light in his eyes it will help to temporarily blind him for the second or so it will take the pepper spray from the Mace Pepper Gun to make him wish he was elsewhere. After the pepper spray starts to kick in the fight is over since he will not be able to see you so you should be able to run away to get help.
3.   Lastly, the visual fear factor alone can help to save you. In the dark when you pull this out it will be tough to tell exactly what you have in your hand and could potentially scare off the attacker or at least distract him long enough for you to take in a deep breath before you use the device.

So I am sure you can see that there is not much to it when it comes to figuring out how to use the Mace Pepper Gun. You only load it up, point the light at your intended target and then pull the trigger. That really is all there is to it!

Another benefit that Mace provided with their Pepper Gun is that they sell practice canisters. They're filled with water and give you the chance to test out the device without wasting your precious pepper spray.

What size tip should I use on a hvlp spray gun to spray single stage paint (DuPont Centari)?

I have a Craftsman and a Chicago Pneumatic(Harbor Freight) HVLP gun. They are identical. The Centari will be cut with medium temp. reducer and medium hardener. This is my first time spraying something that matters, so I want to keep the orange peel to a minimum.
Out of curiosity, what was your set up when you sprayed with the 1.7?
