FirstName LastName Posted: Mar 12, 2007 11:40 PM	i use a fusion ap gun for roofing. using a large tip to get the job done faster. works real well compared to the other guns that i have tryed but i am more familiar with the fusion than other guns. what i try to do is start getting the foam to "roll" towards you than keep the top of the spray pattern at the edge of the roll starting at the high end of the roog all the way to the low end. makes for a really smooth roof.
Daniel Houston Posted: Apr 06, 2007 10:50 AM	I have used the Gx7 and the fusion. I do think that the GX is better for Foam..but the fusion gun is alot easier to clean. We have two rigs here and one is for poly and one for foam. I use the fusion in both rigs. For foam I use a AR6060 Tip. For foam details I use the AR4242. I used to use the GX7 but it takes forever to put it together and is harder to clean.

Gerry Wagoner Posted: Jul 04, 2007 01:44 PM	We like the P2 gun on roofs. I must confess however, I haven't sprayed with a Fusion. og
Posted: Aug 13, 2007 10:12 PM	I feel the same way. I grew up on AR & D guns. My partner and a few of my subs swear by the GX7. I have spent so many hours on that "touchy" thing. When I am dripping with sweat and wanting to get the job done, I do not need the frustration. To each his own if you want to spend profit on parts. I love the P2 and nobody will ever change my mind. No pics or a bag of tools to keep spraying. Grease and a drill bit. Reel the hose in and move on.

Who out there uses a Fusion gun to spray roofs? Or has used one in the past and switched because they did not like it... Or likes the Fusion better than a gun they used to use regularly...
