What spray bottles are you guys using?

[Gilligan]

We tried some "Solvent resistant" bottles from a supplier and a 701 and water mixture of about 60/40 ate up the entire mechanism (won't even pump anymore).  This was after one use and then maybe a couple of days sitting on the booth.  I had another local store one that the wife had bought and eventually (months) ER2 ate up the dispersion part as it just shot out like a water gun no matter how you twisted the nozzle.

There has to be a bottle/nozzle out there that can handle the mildly harsh chemicals we throw at them.

What are you guy's recommendations?

I'm still looking.    Cheap and durable don't seem to go together when it comes to squirt bottles.

We use three different ones. The Zep ones from Home Depot, when they stop working I squeeze the bottle and stuff will still come out of the nozzle. Bug or weed killer pressurized hand pump ones. When the wand stops working I cut it off and with some adaptor fittings put a normal garden nozzle on the end of the hose. The third is a steel one I picked up from Mc Master Carr. It has a screw on lid, open it up and add the solution close it up and add air pressure to it then use as a regular sprayer but they run upwards of $90.

ICC carries some good ones, I want to say a dozen cost somewhere in the 25-35$ range last time we bought a case.

When I cleaned and reclaimed full time, I got away from sprays and just poured a little out, then spread with a brush.
Less mist to breath that way as well.

I picked up some at target in the hair care section no issues spraying 701

I've been using "Zep Professional" spray bottles from Home Depot, too.
They hold up pretty well... much better than most spray bottles.

i buy cheap ones at the dollar store they hold up and work great. and they only cost a buck.

DOLLAR STORE?!?!?!?!?!? No kidding.

You put solvent based chems in them?  Whodathunkit.

Glad to see this thread. The ones I buy usually aren't worth carrying home.

CCI supposedly has some solvent resistant ones that are less awful.  I'm going to try the Zeps as soon as I can get out of here.

Thanks!

If it works for press cleaner (CCI Solvex 8..) I may consider taking back all the bad things I've said about you.

ZEP from Home Depot.. best to date. I feel as though we have tried every spray container from every corner
of the world and ZEP just keeps on spraying and spraying and spraying and spraying.

Any more details?  Which dollar store, anything that would help identify if I'm looking at the same sprayer?  I'm sure their suppliers vary from time to time.

At the same time, I'll definitely pick up some ZEP's to try out!

Zep all the way here. Nothing else has held up for very long.

[Gilligan]

To all you Zep guys... how long are you getting out of them in the "harsher" chemicals (701, emulsion remover, haze removers)
