It’s that realistic!

Good additions, thank you!

I’m a bit paranoid and spray a bit of acetone on the tip after use but in theory it should be unnecessary.

I prevent it but spraying a bit of the acetone into the tip after use.

And the screw is on the Pistole (the wheel at the rear end, looks a bit different on mine than on OPs photo but same principle).

In theory the acetone is not even needed because it has a ball bearing tip that is airtight and that prevents the drying but I never tested the concept.

Used both a lot in my renovation. I’d never go without pistol again.

A) it helps control the amount way better B) you can just shut it off and use the rest later on without bothering with sealing it airtight. C) better handling and weight distribution

The pistol addresses your main concern. The can stays on the pistol and is good to go even for weeks.

And the cleaning part doesn’t matter to be honest. I spent a few bugs on the cleaning spray (basically alcohol/acetone solution as you’ve guessed) which can be easily sprayed. After use I spray a bit into the opening of the pistol.

I like to have it available in case I fuck something up or want to protect a surface, would even spend the money without the pistol.

The pistol costed like 15 Euro and saved me several hours by now.

The cleaning spray I would get even without a pistol just because it’s so handy to quickly dissolve foam.
