I have acouple of 1:1 blasters and they are always alittle stubborn to get going.
Anyone else use a "mini" blaster? Pro's/Con's?
BTW Paasche also makes a "mini" blaster, they are around $70US. There is a Badger on e-bay for $24(buy it now).

Dan, a little polish bird said me that I know you from another great place: sorry if I didn't recognized before, I'm a bit distracted. So welcome here!

On the topic: I want to try too, I hoped yoy were more lucky with the attempt: I'll search those ebay auction too, 24 bucks is good deal. At least with my bazooka sandblast gun I'll turn my labrador in a pig that's trendy
