So I'm about to cover 1400sqft of concrete with the 8510. I have a sprayer that I'm sure is not solvent safe but.... Will it be ok for this one time application? I don't mind throwing it away after and this will likely only take me 30-45min so even if not safe that minimal amount of time is not like to melt it right?

I used that one when I did my floor last year. I rinsed it immediately following use and have been using it to spray weeds since. Still going strong. The back pack style with pump handle made it easy to coat my 1200 sq ft floor quickly. You can pump with one hand while you spray with the other. I was able to mix all of the GhostShield into the sprayer at once. I wouldn't want to have done it with a regular sprayer.

I was just looking for one myself for my upcoming project. From watching some YouTube videos on the ghostshield products it looks like they like to use Echo sprayers. If you look on their website it looks like they are well built and all use viton seals and will hold up to xylene to make cleanup easier.

Not to costly for around $40-50 for the 2-3 gal hand sprayers

So just a quick update... I laid down all 5 gallons of the 8510 tonight. I used a sprayer that was not identified as ok to use with solvent. I totally agree with everyone about purchasing the correct one however I already had it sitting on a shelf. All went well and had no issues. I would of bought the correct one, if i didn't already have one and if it was a situation where i needed to spray over a couple days.

I will also be throwing it away tomorrow and I will see how the seals held up over night..

Thanks everyone
