When I am using the foam gun, I notice that after I release the trigger, it continues to spray for like 3 seconds. Is there a way to disable.adjust this? I really don't like wasting all that foam.
 
I've not used mine in some time and can't recall it doing that...but wouldn't a simple fix be to release the trigger 3 seconds earlier, that way you are still using that last 3 seconds for good use:D

While it would be nice to find the reason it is doing this and fix it, I can not believe I didn't think of that before. Thanks!
 
There are two likely causes of this, and both are easily solved. Look at the nozzle and the point where it pivots when you squeeze the handle/trigger. At this point put a dab of light lubrication (i.e. 3 in 1 oil).

If that doesn't clear up your problem look at the nozzle as you squeeze the handle/trigger and at the top you'll see a brass rod that it pulls out of the nozzle assembly. With that rod all the way out (the handle squeezed) put a drop of light oil on it. Hopefully that will clear up your 3 second delay problem.

The same thing happened to a similar style hose nozzle that was left outside for the winter........ on that one i just used a quick shot of WD-40 and that took care of it.

I'll definitely look into that; however, I think it was only when the bottle was attached to it. I think when it's just the nozzle by itself, it doesn't do this.
