Mini Compressor Update :)

[mpsd]

Say isn't Embraer in Sao Paulo? I might have to go visit them sometime in the next couple of months for work.

Embraer is in Sao Jose dos Campos, in the state of Sao Paulo and about 50 minutes away from the city of Sao Paulo.

If you do come, LMK. Maybe we can go to a local field or something, just let me know a little before you come so I can setup a game with some friends.

I am guestimating it will take a bit more than 24 hours to fill the tank without the shop air feed. The higher RPM's make a big difference.

You could (if your careful) bleed the scuba into an air tank and fill it to 100 psi. Then hook that to the compressor. Cheapest and fastest way if you have residual air.

Here's a link http://artsupplysource.com/airbrush.htm#compressors to compressors showed on that you tube video. I wonder how much air (CFM) is going to be needed. I may look at spending $500 on a compressor if I can leave it run all night & not hear it!

Hi Tom
Quick question for us Canadians: will you be able to ship it to us? Would it be worth it to regroup one big order?

Thank you

[AGD]

Sure I can ship to Canada but you have all the tax issues across the boarder. You have to pay them, nothing I can do. Also there are similar problems if you send stuff back for repair.

The mini-compressor needs almost no CFM. What you need is 85 psi so thats all you should worry about.

A group order wouldn't help much. It would be shipped to someone who would have to remail all of the compressors, and should be compensated. This is basically what a distributor would do. It would only increase the cost since the distributor is a middle man who would take a cut.

Buying direct from TK would be easy. Customs might ding you for sales tax and they might not. it depends on the size of the package and the price. If we brought in one big shipment it would be taxed for sure!

If you order from Canada only get it shipped via US postal service. UPS robs you blind with thier customs brokerage fees when you import.

Also you might get taxed again for the value of the item as it returns to you if you ever send it back for repairs. This would have to be claimed back through customs which is a bunch of paperwork...

Agreed but a resaller in Canada could be a could start no?

I am sure it would be a good idea. I am just wondering if having one shipped might not be charged at customs compared to a big shipment that will most likely be charged. I am just not certain of all the ''financial'' aspects of this.

And the person really needs to make sure they will sell them all :)
