snapped off nozzle from spot cleaning gun...
« on: August 14, 2011, 04:03:58 PM »
anyone know where I can buy just the nozzle for my spot gun? Mine is a Red Arrow made in Taiwan it's silver and looks exactly identical to 6 or so other brands.

Who did you buy it from? See if they have parts or find the US distributor and see if they have parts.

Expert and Albatross (now the same company) list almost all parts. Heck, maybe you can even use an Expert nozzle.
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Midwest sign supply was having a sale a few weeks ago. We picked up 2 brand new spot cleaning guns for $20. each. Maybe give them a ring.

Heck with that, get a gun from ZIM.  They have no nozzles to break.

I don't see it on their site, but ours is the model 101.  They usually have a deal running with a gun a 6 or 12 quarts of acetone.  I don't use the acetone for spot cleaning, I like to use it for paint stripping and other projects.  I have never been a fan of acetone for spot cleaning...mostly because of the smell, fire hazard, and it dries a lot slower.

I've been using the same gun for over 3 years now...no broken nozzles.
