I find it likes to drink a lot of product. I now apply product with coating saver applicator. Follow up with this to get it into all the grooves and lettering. Great combo.

So far I've used it with TW graphene acrylic tire shine and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, might be due to the thicker consistency. Gonna try it with some DG 253 which is thinner and see what happens. Thanks for the heads up!

I also used with TWGACSCTSTQW……. I know some speak to it needing to be primed but I did two tires. Tried second with the applicator and used about half as much.
Maybe next time I’ll try priming it more. The saver applicators I used were just the normal ones. I think the product proof barrier may have made it go further. The brush probably used as much product as the old foam applicator I used.

I gotta think that through all the testing no one thought to test fit it to the blower. Fit’s loose enough you can jiggle it. Not quality I would expect.
I still like design better than other’s out there but feel I shouldn’t have to mod it myself for $60. Doesn’t leak any air so I’m thinking a rubber trim or something.
Matt had video where he fixed it with duct tape.
Edit: I tested it out and doesn’t rattle or jiggle while carrying it around. Also works really well no leaks and no rattles while in use which was what IWas afraid off.
My second section clip on well and didn’t come off with slight tugging. I’ll post more thoughts when using to dry car.
If I did all over I’m still not a fan of the Stubby Nozzle Co 3D printed one. I would order the Ego gutter blower kit and use the attachment to hook up the length of tubes.
Credit to OCD detail saw this on his review of the nozzle.

I looked at the Stubby Nozzle website and kind of choked on the price
And if the fit isn't there I am back to the drawing board
I will probably just mod something up with some PVC fittings or just cut and shape the factory tube somehow
Plus I am confused, what is the Apexaire deal all about?
Is that required to fit the stubby one?

You guys should just use my detailed image affiliate discount code for the stubby nozzle. It may not look as nice as the OG one but it is not loose and lots cheaper.

Apex aire is one Obsessed garage selling stubby nozzle co is the other.
Stubby nozzle co does have free shipping. Just get the Ego gutter blowing kit. You get a stubby nozzle in that and it’s only $55. You’ll also can probably find it locally.

Nope, I’m running a Kobalt blower so it’s Stubby or DIY
I have a reducer from my old shop vac similar to the one you showed
Might be in storage or ???
