A larger tube could be used, and that would offer more volume. means
a bigger motor, that may not be a problem.


I didn't like compressed air as that creates a potential disaster.
one possibility is to fill a pressure tank, pressureize it and spray
one batch. re-fil and spray again. would require a couple gallons
to get a few minutes of spray. But the hazzard potential increases
drastically.
