Bill,

I used a cheap Harbor Freight HVLP gun for my Feather Fill. To clean it I just followed their directions and FF directions to use acetone. I essentially took apart the front end of the gun apart and cleaned all parts well in a can of acetone. Easy.

Or, use laquer thinner, either one works...also might add spraying acetone/laquer thinner through the gun a couple of times and then removing the air cap and soaking it in the cup with enough to cover the cap, this way it won't gum up.
