Critter Spray 118SG Siphon Gun Kit | Lightweight Spray Tool with Mason Jar Attachments

Overview and flexible finishing

The Critter Spray 118SG Siphon Gun Kit is designed for quick, comfortable finishes on projects around the home or shop. Its lightweight feel and straightforward design help you focus on the result, not the process. With just two practical adjustments, you can tune the spray to your work, while the simple clean-up helps you wrap up faster at the end of the day.

What you can spray and how it adapts

This siphon gun handles a broad range of coatings, including polyurethanes, lacquers, stains, chalk and milk paints, latex, enamels, and alkyds. A light thinning may be needed depending on the material and desired finish. You can achieve a 1/2 inch to 3 inch circular spray pattern, with the pattern size varying by how far you hold the gun from the surface. A compressor capable of 2–3 CFM at operating pressure keeps the tool moving smoothly without constant adjustments.

• Versatile finishes: polyurethanes, lacquers, stains, chalk and milk paints, latex, enamels, alkyds
• No extra nozzles required; adaptable for different materials with the same kit
• Simple cleaning thanks to the straightforward design and accessible parts

Kit contents and practical setup

The kit includes a siphon gun, a tube, a 16-ounce Mason jar, a jar gasket, and instructions. It attaches to Mason jars filled with paints, stains, lacquers, and more, making material storage and switching easy. It fits standard 16-ounce Mason jars and can be used with other jars, enabling flexible workflows. A minimum 3/4 hp compressor is recommended to achieve consistent performance (not included).

• All-in-one setup: siphon gun, tube, Mason jar, gasket, and instructions

Real-world usage and tips

Ideal for hobbyists and serious woodworkers alike, this spray gun supports projects where precise control and a smooth finish matter. Use the two adjustable controls to balance air and liquid height, then rinse and store materials airtight between sessions using the jar cap and lid. While it is not a guaranteed outcome, many users find it helpful for achieving professional-looking results with diligence and practice.
