tyhe video is perfect. the gun is easy to use it is harder to get used to airing down the flake to get it to lay flat. i used kustomshop.com flake in size .025 i think it was. what ever there biggest was and it was plenty big enough for me. i did my boat and a ton of stuff on m datsun 620 bulletside.

i own the OSF Flake buster and i have never had a problem with it. 3 to 5 lbs of pressureis best. running 2 line regulators ,the 1st reg set at about 15 lbs and the one on the buster set at3 to 5 lbs seems to take away the large burst when you first pull the trigger. slick tool im all for it, you have to know the equipment and how the flake reacts at different air pressures to get it to turn out well, start with low air pressure and work up to a higher 5 or even six pounds of air but 6 is pushing it but its possible you have to work fast.

Finaly got my flake buster a few days ago and thought i would try it out on my son's plastic 4-wheeler.....It works GREAT!! I always wanted to know how to completly cover a surfice with flake.....This is the only way as far as i'm concerned!!!!

The Flake Buster took some getting used to, but it wasn't bad once I got the hang of it. "Lost Cause"

Awesome, glad to hear it turned out great. How much clear did you have to spray on the 4 wheeler to bury all the flake?
