Richard Pope Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 I've searched for this answer but not quite found what I wanted so posting my question ..... There are a good few spray guns for cavity wax application for circa £13 which screw into the wax canister and have a flexible hose to get inside the cavities of a TR chassis. 1.) Are they any good? 2.) Do they actually pick up the wax fron a, say, 5l canister? I think I would like a multi-direction spray jet on the end but cannot quite see that this is supplied but can you drill what is given to you in the kit?

dblenk Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Richard i was thinking of a long tube plugged one end and several holes drilled everywhere then sticking it on the end of the gun and firing waxoyl down slowly dragging it bak and forth hope it works i will do it in the garage first to view the spray pattern david Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Macleesh Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 Yep, used one to inject/spray Dinitrol using 1L containers, seemed to work OK, not sure you could use one with a 5L can though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jpmf Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 There are several holes in the brass fitting on the end to give a spray pattern. Doubt it would be easy to use attached to a 5L can due to it's weight, and you'd only suck up as far as the metal pipe that fits into the can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also the 1 lt container will fit inside an old, electric kettle, to soften the wax. Test the pattern/spray inside an old jam jar. Highly recommend the system. John. John.

Richard Pope Posted September 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 I have just come to the same conclusion so circa £23 for gun and a 1l can seems OK to me. Thanks all for your help / suggestions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeyB1 Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 Might I suggest using the Bilt Hamber injection wax. It comes in large aerosol cans with a long thin wand. The can works at all angles and sprays for 360 degrees. I believe their products are far superior to Waxoil (which I have used in the past) and have used them on several cars, including my TR4. No need for a compressor, no need to thin or heat up the fluid. Really excellent stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark69 Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 I used dinatrol aerosols ml cavity wax, excellent stuff. The 6 can pack came with a 600 mm Lance with 360 degree spray head,tested this in a large plastic bottle and got full coverage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
