ACF50 applicator

[Victor c]

Hey all

Looking for any recommendations on a reliable fine mist applicator for ACF50 (hand pump not compressor run). Is the oem one any good? Or are there any better aftermarket ones?

Is yours not in an aerosol as it comes?

No

I squirt it into the lid and use a couple of cheap wide and narrow paintbrushes to apply ACF50.

It goes exactly where I want, as thick as I want and much further that way

No

Ah, I’ve only seen it as an aerosol.

Brush band wipe, agreed

 

[Old Codger]

Brushes on fine spreads easier if it’s warmed up . I just put the bottle in warm water before use.

I use one of these for a MucOff equivalent.
Works well. Wurth are pricey, but robust.

Mine came with a little spray bottle which works well. I’d expect a pressure pump to work well if you get the liquid nice and warm first so it flows nicely.

The guy I used to go to for a professional applicator used a pressure pump and a paint sprayer which was very effective at misting through the whole bike.

Brush or, if you warm it up, you can use any standard spray bottle.

Looks like it will be standard ACF50 hand spray bottle, accompanied by brush.

Thanks for all the replies

i dilute it with UPOL slow and then it sprays from any old spray bottle (old car detailing bottle, plant sprayer, etc).

Hair dresser continuous mist bottles are also an option.

or, as above, warm it in water.

I use a paraffin gun with a compressor . Stand the sprayer in hot water first and it sprays a fine mist then use a soft brush to work it in
