Fine mess

[22lover]

About a year ago, I refinished a walnut dining table - stain and poly. Turned out great. Unfortunately, I forgot to clean out my Harbor Freight turbine HVLP system afterwards. Went to drag it out today, noticed my negligence, and tried my hardest to get the thing apart. Appears to be permanently glued together with the poly. I might be hosed, no pun intended. Anyone have luck resurrecting a paint gun after such a lapse in smarts?

My post was more motivation to go try again. Got it apart. Dug out a hockey puck of poly in the bottom. Amazingly I think I can get it to come clean with some mineral spirits. Even the pickup hose is in good shape despite being formerly embedded in what looked like a piece of Jurassic Park amber.

Sorry for the false alarm. Going to lay down some interior latex later. Won't make that mistake again!
