Removing 2-part primer
 

Am red-in-the-face to admit it publically, but I failed to properly clean my HVLP cup the last time I used 2-part primer … short of ordering a new cup, is there any way to clean the residual primer from the inside of the cup? Tried liquid paint remover and only removed a layer of skin from my fingers. :rolleyes: I do not have access to blasting cabinet.

You could try soaking it in lacquer thinner, but that may not even work since you tried paint stripper with no joy.

I think we've all done this before, I know I have, but I was in a rush to get to the BBQ place for their "all you can eat bbq rib lunch special" :)

After shooting 2 part epoxy, I use a cleaner designed for paint guns and I find it removes older paint from exterior areas that was missed. A few days soak in the cleaner should do it, just be careful not to soak rubber gaskets in the cleaner as they may not survive an extended soak.

A good brand of paint remover will do the job. I use Spray Gun Cleaner from William Barr company. I would suggest you find Strypeez or a brand called Aircraft paint remover.

Put a hot air gun to the outside and COOK it out. Hold the gun up close, like 1" for a couple minutes & get things smokin!
Who knows...the primer might release in one solid chunk. :)
If it's thick you can drill a bunch of holes & bust it out with a screwdriver.
If it comes to solvent I'd try acetone at this point followed by lacquer thinner.

Try pure Acetone first. IT melts Epoxy Surfboards so it might be the answer.
