    I know this may seem silly, but is there a particular giveaway when looking at the individual nozzles, do they all look like the one you demonstrated or are there different ones just as good? Are there particular brands that use better nozzles than others, if you can divulge this info without getting into " trouble".

You know an aerosol can of finish, really isn't a bad way to get finished on a project, especially if you don't have the ability to set up a spray gun or some other big extensive equipment, but it's worth having a look at the nozzles and making sure you get the one that's gonna work the best. So if we look at this one first, this is gonna put a pattern of finish out. That's kind of cone shaped. Doesn't give you all that good control over where the finish is going. This one is really, really cool. It actually is gonna put out a fan shape pattern, one step further. I'm gonna be able to turn the red part of this tip, so I can control the fan, whether it's horizontal or vertical, or someplace in between. Let me show you on the resume paper, how well this works. I'm gonna put a mask on cause I'm spraying some lacquer here. I wanna make sure I don't inhale it. Now it's very easy to see what we got out of that cone shape pattern. Look at how narrow that stripe is compared to the nice fan that we got out of that other nozzle. It's gonna be much easier to have good control over your spray. Get a nice finish on your project. You're covering more area at one time. This is gonna be much, much easier to control, and to get a good finish out of than this one. So when you're shopping for aerosol cans of clear coats, look for nozzles like this, that give you that fine control. So you can get a nice finish on your project.
