    • Gap or not, it's still a fantastic job.
    • Solo quality has gone down too.  I needed a 1 gallon one with a really long wand to spray high for spiders on the rental house and it looked like Solo was the one for that.  It had a ridge in the casting  around the top of the main part that kept the O-ring that sealed the top on from sealing good.  I was able to modify that to smooth it out so it works fine now, but that was a manufacturing defect that I don't think a good company used to have.
    • Bummer.   Looks like they have managed to bury the history of D.B. Smith sprayers online too.  I did see they started with (not started) the brand in 2015.  I found a 1969 D,B. Smith sprayer catalog on ebay, and I'm not sure what year this one is from but it looks older than the 1969 one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/285119656196?itmmeta=01HW822366YRZMWENYWQ0FKYCJ&hash=item426274b104:g:cr0AAOSwcvtjzxqh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0EQZmPvDjSj0ITJkziZ92cAX4mAnvNcgwk0XT6eaMrgRK9p3uc2nHQAECXqJj222S4VI9oAxDbFNnkcTc3pW1Q6k5BQ4pX8yKpcyO0siKcfG6RDNUzeuX8rUvC5CIk2GynSjdGLH%2F01OhaET8S425XI%2FCTjUvBJfTd81ZE7PO56nrzPFiLHsDmg1boHwmiIIdIu8FTQTFdIOnxvN39SUeIW2mVj3hfu3ViC4%2FL7An61f5u2lrMotSSnm2hJHCos6Tfb%2BuxvEJ%2F1%2FpxUnqizXmFk%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5iziILiYw Looks like they bought Indian fire pumps too, which I saw in that old Smith catalog.  I also own two of those. I hope they don't buy B & G. edited to add:   Looks like they maybe started with building steam carriages: http://www.virtualsteamcarmuseum.org/makers/elite_smith_d_b_and_company.html
    • Nice work on thise curves! Have you considered stringing through the miters? The one pictured might be fine with a sawdust & glue fill,but weren't you going to string between the inner field and the border, anyway?
    • Tom, the one you recommend is also made by fountainhead.   It looks sturdy and appears to be long lasting. I could not find any warranty info. My best guess is that it is the same BS. Pay for freight. If the fee was obvious and up front I would be OK. But to hide it from the point of sale and advertise on the box 5 year warranty is deceptive. Maybe Fountainhead has a monopoly and i have no choice. I will see whatI can find.
