Is this gun suitable for professionals?
While suitable for professional use for smaller tasks, its capacity may require frequent refilling on large-scale projects. It's excellent for DIY and specific trade applications.

Troubleshooting
Material not dispensing evenly
Ensure the material is mixed to the correct consistency. Check for air bubbles in the barrel and clear any blockages in the nozzle.
Gun is difficult to squeeze
Verify that the plunger is moving freely within the barrel. Ensure the material is not too stiff or dry. Clean any dried material from the mechanism.
Nozzle is blocked
Remove the nozzle and use a thin wire or the provided cleaning tool to clear any hardened material. Clean immediately after use to prevent future blockages.
Material leaking from the back of the gun
Check that the plunger is properly seated and sealed against the material. Ensure the barrel is not cracked.
