im in same position !!!!! booked till September 2019 ………………………. turning work away as some people cant wait !! I have gone though 7 people in less than 5 years … problem im getting is finding someone with the basic common sense even though they have years of experience .. I only want someone for the basic day to day and trade stuff while I do the custom work but even that is hard !!! just need someone that can be a problem solver as that seems to be where they all fail .
it will be a dyeing trade in the uk as my lad has just left school so that should be perfect for me ………………. but no !!!!!!!!!! I haven't the time to teach him and there are no courses that cover what we do ……………………. just cant win

so im just about to commit and have 2 questions I need answering ??
what size needle ?? 1.4 or 1.8
does it have to have valve and gauge 1 for input and 1 other for output or is just the 1 ok ??
if not and pot only has 1 is it fine to use the remote one that fits just before gun ?

also do you guys poor glue straight in to pot or do you put your own disposable tin / bowl in pot rather than a pot liner ??

thanks ………… is it essential to have a pot that has 2 valves and gauges as some only have 1 ??
any recommendations for good supplier in uk anyone ??
