THE GRACO CONTRACTOR POWERSHOT XT IS A GAMECHANGER
Hey peeps, in today's video, we put the newest Graco Contractor PowerShot XT to the test. This is my first time unboxing it, setting it up, syncing it with my 495 XT, and spraying out some walls and window trim.
I've teamed up with @GOIndustrial to get this gun cranking, explain my honest thoughts, and whether this is the game changer we've all been waiting for to eliminate spits, and control pressure at our hip.

Graco has just dropped the newest range of spray guns - meet the Contractor PowerShot Standard and XT models. These guns are designed to hook up to your 1/4" paint hose from any brand of airless paint sprayer, and more specifically the newest Ultra XT sprayers from Graco.
Powered by a DeWalt Slimline battery, the PowerShot features its electric-actuated trigger which instantly shuts off the gun needle = zero spitting. Hook it up to your belt, whack in a battery, and spray-all-day with the lightest trigger pull now in the industry.
If you opt for the XT model, you can also bluetooth pair your gun to the sprayer, adjusting pressure at the hip by 20 PSI increments up, or down. This is gamechanging if you are away from your sprayer and need to change your pressure.

The broken part is whatever hold the swivel itself together and allows the neck to rotate 360 - there's a joint between the threading and the neck of the swivel. The warranty guy is responding so i'll let you know but I have a feeling it's a product failure. The repair kit is entirely for the valve side/spring.

    I need to fill a finger sized gap where two ends of cornice/cove butt up against each other. I also need to apply maybe a thirty centimetre taper where the two sections of cornice meet to hide a glaring half centimetre difference in thickness where old and new cornice meet. The older segment seems thinner despite its equivalent ninety centimetre overall dimensions. I intend to apply a taper to the old segment building it up to meet the new segment. (The concrete ceiling itself is probably wonky as the apartment building presumably settled since construction in 1967.) As I have both plaster of paris and cornice cement on hand I am wondering what might be some pros and cons of mending cracked cornice with plaster of paris alone or adding in some cornice cement? Is cornice cement also known as "mud"? I saw a couple videos advise incorporating a premixed cornice cement (they called "mud") into plaster of paris to extend paris' set-up time. Minus the mud, plaster or paris quickly starts setting only minutes after reaching that ideal spreadable "frosting-like" texture. Quickly turns un-spreadable and irredeemable because I cannot water it down to extend it's "working life". This cornice cement / mud apparently extends the working life of plaster of paris when it is at the point of "frosting" texture" - not unlike the frosting we might thickly spread or butter on a sponge cake. :) I need to go back and find the videos describing the method and see if only the pre-mixed form of "mud" is acceptable. My cornice cement is in the dry powdered form and as it understand it, set-up time is less than a "mud" premix. Hoping to buy more time when applying plaster of paris, I tried watering it down. A total disaster. Adding water seems to create gravel and when it eventually sets and cures, a powdery mess like talc is the result. Has to be removed. Turns the site into a dust bowl.
