It should do so, yes. Also, it will help push resin into the smaller crevices and crannies, like antenna tips and such.
I called the closest Harbor Freight and asked if they had one in stock. They did - ONE! - and she pulled it for me. Major help, since they are on backorder on the website and the store is 60 miles away.
http://www.harborfreight.com/2-1-2-half-gallon-pressure-paint-tank-66839.htmlSince HF *is* just around the corner from Hobby Lobby and this week *was* the 40% off 1 item coupon, I picked up some more HSIII for making molds and more resin for making parts. The cashier got kinda huffy about me suggesting he look the other way as I came thru someone else's line with more supplies after making a large purchase of other items. (Bec bought the resin on one account, I bought the mold material on another account - that was the best I could squeeze out of the kid.) I can get the same HSIII online for the same price as HL's sale (if I buy it in the equivalent of 10 boxes at once) and the 2-gallon resin kit is, iirc, significantly cheaper. Given that I have to make a 120+ miles round trip to support their store, I've effectively paid out any shipping charges in gas and sales-taxes. So, I suspect I'll have to be ordering the majority of my supplies online to beat costs. Keke is wanting to go to Books-A-Million (across the street from HL) to spend some of her accumulated wealth, so I suspect I'll end up getting my supplies from HL this week. But if I catch any flack, I'll have a print-out of where I can order the material online coupled with a break-down of how much I'd spend to get each item and I'll have me a chat with the store manager about doing business semi-locally with his store or else doing business with the same company they get their material from.
Okay, I'll be honest - the "one coupon per day" fine print *IS* there. I disagree with it, because I have to drive 120 miles to give them my money. That means I've just coughed up something like $24 in gas to specifically shop at one store. There's very little other reason for me to go to that particular town. I have no problem with using one coupon per purchase and then taking that purchase out to my truck before making another. I also usually end up buying more than just the "one item with coupon" - partly just to be sure my trip was worth making. I might have one other competent purchaser with me, so I could get two items per trip through the register and out to the truck. So, if they want to be difficult about my trying to maximize the utility of my shopping trip, I'll have to take my business elsewhere.
Sorry for the rant, that kid at the register just really aggravated me today.
