Why Does My Paint Gun Hate Me?!

October 2024

The paint gun is a basic tool of the forestry trade. But what happens when we’re two forties into the woods and our paint gun goes down? This can put a major clog in our day. Maybe the problem with our paint gun is us? Join us on this episode of SilviCast as we talk with three experts in the field about Trecoder, Panama, and Nel-Spot paint guns. Ethan Tapper with Bear Island Forestry, John Freeman with Panama Forestry Equipment, and Ryan Holm with Nelson Paint give us tips to keep our paint guns flowing freely!
