Interesting about the Weaver paints getting clogged. I have more trouble with Sullivan paints doing that than just about anything.

i always seem to get dud cans from sullivans that are full but have no pressure.

that's about the only time i have used the paint from weavers. probably just an isolated incidence but it was frustrating at the time.

I have had trouble with sullivan's ultra white this last year where they would lose pressure and start to spit blobs instead of spray out fine. I was told to try switching to the red tip that comes on the black sullivan paint on the white can and that does help. How does Weaver's white compare to sullivan's ultra white as far as building a leg goes?

Hey Sue, that Jane Mary heifer had a really nice TM Gus bull calf this spring!  I have a pretty nice Brenda 239 heifer that will have to get painted up in just a few weeks though  ;D

Don't know about any of the other products, but really wish they hadn't bought the rights to my Wal-Mart pink oil, miss being able to buy it really cheap!

we only used the white spray once but it seemed to be less gummy than the sullivan stuff. it is a little more powdery if you know what i mean.

the other thing is the cans look too much alike. that's not terrible but i picked up a wrong can that had been switched out and you don't hardly notice the difference in the cans fast enough.

I love the weaver products! The paints are awesome for our hereford cattle and I like the wasy the break down sprays, it does more of a spray/mist instead of a little squirt. Didnt have any problems with it harming skin or hair

Memorial weekend was when i used weaver products alot for the first time and i thinkw e had two cans of paint that were full and didnt matter what nozzle you put on it they wouldnt spray at all. Also someone mentioned about all the cans being similar and i hate that too cuz they all that that ball inside that rattles so you have to be careful when u pick up a can and make sure what it is.
I do believe the true test will start in a couple weeks and will end in septemeber when all the junior nationals and state fairs are going on. it would be interesting to see how many people switch over from one brand or another but i think both have advantages and disadvantes

I don't like the products I have tried. Espeically not their whitening shampoo, its crap to say the least not only does it do nothing as far as whitening, but it might as well not even be soap either. Also their break own products is nothing compared to Ezall, you have to let it set forever.

The adhesive doesn't hold up very well and it takes too much of it! Not economical at all....
