    Default Opinions please


    I've been tinkering around in the man cave and the latest thing i came up with is this 1 1/2 inch diameter "quad" fluid bed i already have a 2 inch,3 inch,a double 2 inch and am working on a prototype 2 inch wide 12 inch long fluid bed that i've about got the bugs worked out on so i decided to make this one to make it easier to switch between colors or to clear coat with and so far so good i can get 3 colors to fluidize at once.Myself i think it's a handy little machine when painting different colors for the simple fact everything is there at your fingertips so theres very little wasted time,feel free to let me know what you think.

    I like it. I prefer the smaller size.

    That would definately cut down on dipping time, and increase the quantity.

    That looks like a fireworks display.Rofl Maybe it's a jig-a-phone Looks like it should work, I'm thinking about getting a fluid bed from you pretty quick. My lips hurt and I'm tired of blowing

    Do you ever paint any spoons with your fluidizer? I guess a reference would work. Do-Its jiggin spoons 5/8, 1-1/8. Would a 2" cup work or would the 3" be better. I buy my paint by the pound and just dip big spoons in the container. I generally do pretty good but every now and then I cake them a little thick. I think this would eliminate that and make my painting jigheads that much faster. Painting is the slowest part of it all for me.Thumbs Up

    Now these things put the eyes on them too, right Rofl

    bugman i have a simple question
    can you regulate the air pump so on your 4 bed system you could just use two or three cups? say if i only wanted to use two or three colors today ? can air be regulated to all 4 cups seperatly ?

    thank you sir

    ps/ that looks great i'll have to place an order

    Short grub, There is a valve in front of each pot to regulate the pot. I have the same rig but only two pots.

    hey bugman what is the cost of a 4 cup system with pump and a few extra cups ? say in the 2" size

    I'd like to but one


    on a side note do you need a different cup for each color ? are the cups also used as storage or as just part of the fluid system

    thank you all
