Great product at a great price!

I'm in my 70's and a handyman for friends, family and neighbors. I was asked to remove about 140 feet of baseboard to seal the wall panel to the floor with a support bar and draft seal. Using a regular hand sealer for lengths over 10-20 feet was very tiring for me, so I bought this relatively inexpensive product. Delivered in two days. With this I finished the remaining length of the wall quickly and easily. Although there are no instructions, it was intuitive to understand how the gun works and after a few minutes of practice I was quickly able to lay down a nice, smooth, even bead of grout. There were no residual drops after releasing the trigger. As mentioned, the trigger sits in a slightly awkward spot high up on the grip where the grip connects to the barrel, but that wasn't a problem for me. Back? You'll have to lug around a portable compressor, which makes this gun most useful for big projects, so I'll still use a hand gun for smaller jobs like tubs and kitchen sinks or tubs. The gun feels solid and very well built, but you can buy a standard quick-disconnect for hoses. I set the compressor regulator to a low 20psi to start, which resulted in a slow stack, so I reduced the pressure to about 40psi and everything worked fine. I assume the required pressure may vary depending on the viscosity of the sealant. The recommended maximum pressure range in the parts list was 40-60psi. Overall a great product at a great price!
