unusable as a seal.

dry and become more difficult to remove. Any paint debris left in the spray
gun may affect the effectiveness and quality of the paint job.
Cleaning the paint spray gun will involve disassembling and reassembling it.
Have solvent, rags, a paint spray gun cleaning kit, toothpicks, a tray to hold
the parts, a paint container and a container to hold the waste solvent. The
