Don,
That sounds very much like the one I purchased years ago from JC Whitney.
To answer your questions:
>1. Can it be used with materials of varying viscosities
>(lighter/thinner) such as motor oil or Waxoyl?
Yes it can. I don't know how thick waxoyl is, but you can definately go
to something thinner. I was using it to paint POR15 on the inside of a
chassis.
>2. Any way to modify the flexible wand to make it longer than 30"?
No. I tried to make a new longer hard hose. But this stupid gun is
a syphon NOT a pressure feed, so if you extend the hose length, you will
loose all the momentum in the air and won't suck up much paint.
>3. Any better alternatives?
Not that I can think of. If you can use the 30" wand you're all set.
I ended up drilling some access holes in the chassis to try and get
the shorter hoses in. Didn't have much success with that. I finally
ended up pouring POR15 into the chassis and using an old sock tied to
the end of the longer wand and swabbing it down. Don't know how much
paint I got in there tough.
