Art AlternativesAtomizer, Silver

This item was extremely hard to find for years, used it exclusively since high school, a valuable tool for paints and ceramics.

Nice, just what I needed!

The product works as expected with watery liquids. Thicker, viscous liquids would be a problem.

Did not work. Very poor quality. I purchased it for a Watercolor Workshop and it was not usable at all. Compared it to other workshop attendees' it was not made the same. I saw how theirs' worked and this was missing a key piece in its design. A total waste of money.

Haven't used it yet, but it arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

Does it's job most of the time but I still have issues not matter how much I dilute the paint.

great unit, does what is says, however, make sure you really thin down the paint, has to be like water, since I didn't want to be close to the canvas, I attaches a rubber hose to the blow end, now I am 3 feet from the canvas, much safer, also the nozzle can be adjusted in - or out depending how much thick/thin you want the paint to cover. Do clean the unit after use, the paint will dry in the capillary tube.

When I ordered this item, I had expectations. Because this would be my second atomizer, I knew how to operate one. When I opened the package and used it, it worked erratically. The feeder tube was bent and resting on the left side of air supply tube, and it was sitting too low in relationship to the air tube to create enough vacuum to atomized the paint. I aligned the feeder tube up to the right height and then moved it over to the center of the air supply tube. I also had to crimp the sleeve holding the feeder tube in place, because it would allow the feeder tube to slide down out of alignment. And finally, when the feeder tube was cut at 45 degrees for the bottom of the tube, a burr was left that blocked approximately 60% of the opening.
