I've never tried it, I would just buy a new hose. I like your idea but it might work better at the 50' mark if you tie a fishing swivel on the end to put some tension on it.
2 days ago one of my customers was moving a ladder to clear his spray line...he grabbed the spray line and pulled it into the next room and BANG!!!....Pin hole leak in the line and injected into his left index finger. Went to the hospital, and they butterflied his finger open, cleaned the wound, stitched him up and sent him home to wait....next day he went for amputation.
That guy has a bad taste in his mouth about painters probably.
Did he hit your insurance for the bills and of course the damage to his home?
No, actually I own a store. It was one of my customers, and I cant get sued for stupidity :clap: It was meant as an example of what can happen, an example that i've personally seen. But it's your body, and if spending $50 to save possible limb loss isnt worth it to you......to each his own I guessarty:
BUY A NEW HOSE PLEASE!!!! Airless hoses should be replaced yearly!!! Has anyone here seen an injection wound? Lemme tell you, its pretty frikin nasty, and the only fix for it is amputation. 2 days ago one of my customers was moving a ladder to clear his spray line...he grabbed the spray line and pulled it into the next room and BANG!!!....Pin hole leak in the line and injected into his left index finger.

Please please please, change your lines and use tip guards ( no ghetto cut up guards and safeties) Unless a body part is worth less than $50
I had a friend get blasted with a gun. Blew his hand apart pretty well but they didn't amputate it. Are you talking about just a finger or the whole hand? I've read that not many doctors know how to treat injection wounds...

I gotta admit I got injected in my index finger about 30 years ago I think the sprayer was called a bumblebee or something like that
IT WAS A SUPER BEE!!! (I think!?)
