Default Cheaper Alternative SEM Applicators

The applicator sold for use with SEM cartridges is about $100. I was wondering if there are cheaper alternatives that will work. It will only be used to get me through my restoration. It isn't for everyday shop use.

Not that I am aware of. I have all of the possible applicator guns at my shop...so I can understand your inquiry. I have MAJOR $$$$ invested in these applicator guns.

Unless you use another companies adhesives for whatever you are trying to apply...and their product can use a conventions caulking gun...such as LORD FUSOR possibly......I hate to write it....but either rent one from a local body shop guy and use it and get it back to him/her....or buy it and move on and then sell it when you are done restoring your car.

My local paint and body store has loaners available free. As long as you buy the product from them.

Here is the gun I used and another on the forum. Anyone can PM me if they feel they would like to use it.

Thanks for the suggestions. It looks like the applicator for Lord Fusor products is 1/2 the price of the SEM, so that may be the way I go.
