    Figure there has to be one or more of you that can give me a quick answer over the searching and reading I've been doing. Thinking about a cheap Harbor Freight HPLV paint gun for a one time project. Not looking to spend a bunch of money. I already have a 2HP 6 gallon compressor that the specs says 3.5 SCFM at 45PSI and 2.6 SCFM at 90PSI. The gun says 12 CFM at 45 PSI with a working range of 15-45 PSI.

     

    So educate me on SCFM and CFM and will the compressor I have (not interested in buying another) work for a small job of say 10-15 square feet?

     

    Thanks!

    If your compressor has an output of 3.5 SCFM at 45PSI and the Harbor Freight gun you are interested in needs 12 CFM at 45 PSI, then your compressor does not pump enough air for that particular gun.  The Harbor Freight HVLP #46719 touch up gun looks like it will do the trick, given the size of your job and compressor.  This touch up gun has an average air consumption of 3.2 to 5.6 CFM @ 40 PSI. I've used an earlier version of this touch up gun and it worked surprisingly well, for the price. So, it's a good bet that your compressor will produce enough air using this touch up gun to complete your 10-15 square foot job.

  3. I've used this inexpensive HVLP spray gun from Amazon (see links) . It requires an operating pressure: 29 to 51 PSI and an average air consumption: 4.2 to 7.1 CFM.

    Anything is better than nothing. I am well aware of the severity of his situation. I work in a  higher level of care Healthcare facility that happens to specialize in such cases.  This is a strong case of something is better than nothing approach. If he doesn't want surgery again, all other options should be explored.  I am not a physical therapist and a quality therapist as such should be sought out. I would bet money he has seen several. The topic at hand is drug abuse or not. 

    Actually that's not true. In Joe's situation "anything is not better than nothing". There is a technology to resolve his problem and it's not physical therapy. If he followed your advice he would end up with more problems.  If one gives advice, one should know something about the subject, preferably be an expert or refrain from giving one's opinions. When that someone gives erroneous advice he exposes his ignorance in the area.

    If CBD is not an option to you, or you are unwilling, turmeric in smoothies and or an excwrsie ball/inversion table may be your best friends.    I truly feel for you and hope you find a solution to your issue (at least a healthy way to deal with it).   

    Joe's situation is a very severe problem that requires extremely specialized care. Simply using an exercise ball or inversion table won't do it. I believe in this video Dr. Bergman explains what can be done to help assist the body to heal after botched surgeries:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWlGszPkAhY

    I know full well whats causing my pain, 3 bad discs after a work injury, Dr performed fusion on 1 disc which now puts more pressure on the already bad disc below, add to that 3 bad cervical discs and 2 of those fused, Radiating pain from both in the arms, chest, legs feet. Along with all the normal injuries associated with 30+ years of heavy Labor (the working kind not the pregnant kind) IE Knees, Shoulders, and Elbows Joint Pain. The only options to Pain Killers is either  an injection that works approx 50% of the time and is a temporary solution (90 days give or take) that basically numbs the pain and can make it very hard to tell if you are injuring yourself more, or surgery that insurance fights like hell to avoid and since 1 diagnosis I have states

    ( Failed Back Surgery Syndrome ) I am also reluctant to have more surgery in an area that it has already failed. Add to all that Diabetes which makes healing even harder especially if you are like me and over 50..................I also have violent Tremors you should see me hold pretty much anything in my left hand. So my options are limited, All that said I like to be in the know and if I were developing an addiction changes would be made. even if it meant suffering more.

    I understand and you are absolutely correct on avoiding another surgery to repair the surgery because you will end up needing another surgery and the process will repeat until the entire spine is fused, then you might as well give up. You are fortunate in that you are only taking a minimal dose. Many (the vast majority) back surgery patients end up severely addicted and a premature expiration date. There are solutions to your problem if you are willing to abandon medical doctors. I have a deformity (misshapen from birth) in my sacrum that I found out about when I was 17 years old. It causes a similar problem as yours in my lumbar spine. I've never had surgery nor have I ever taken pain killers. I do require regular treatments to reposition/re-align the lumbar vertebrae or I end up being in so much pain that I can't walk.   

  7. When does "X" become an addiction?

     

    Can you stop taking it? Perhaps you are addicted if you can't stop? Pain medication has its place to resolve acute problems. I'd be the first one to demand a shot of morphine if I was suffering a severed limb or some other similar trauma. But what about long term pain? Perhaps you should be asking why you have chronic pain? Maybe you could eliminate what's causing the pain and not have to take the pain killer?

  8. William is an excellent resource and was helpful when I first became interested in building Pass amps. It's too bad that he had to leave... a big loss to the Klipsch Community. I got in communication via email because I had questions with my current Aleph J amplifier project. The good news is that he's still helping.
