Hello all!

Need help with the brass fittings on my Gilmour spray gun that I use for foaming the car. The horizontal dilution adjustment 'bar' is stuck. I just cannot turn it at all.
Tried all sorts, but still no joy.

Any ideas/tips/advice?

Hope someone can help and get me back to the detailing routine!

Cheers.

Can you play some heat on it without melting anything?
If so, it may just do the trick.

Can't really get any heat on it sadly.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Any more help guys?

Try soaking in vinegar.

Might sound a bit silly, but have you tried tightening it slightly? Sometimes works on iron fittings.
