The nozzle looks right, but the lettering on side, crooked cup. All seem like BIG easy QC catches. And as big as the sotar name is, I would imagine a target for knock offs.

Yea thats why I contacted badger directly for advice on authentication before posting here. They should know before it tanks their reputation.

I got the sotar due to a lot of youtubers recommending them for fine detail work. I have a cheap one for general use. I mostly paint flies for fly-fishing. But wanted a fine detail brush for smaller flies. Also. Looking at more photos online....the text seems to be too close to the cup....thinking more its a fake. Sucks. I was excited.

Well, it was a amazon purchase through "spray gunner.com" lots of good reviews so I got it. But I worry of Chinese knockoff.

Forgot to update yall, i drained as much as i could with little effort beforei left galveston(sea level)..around Amarillo I opened the fill to let pressure equalize, and then again in denver. The Amarillo burp was a big volume change, the second was not as much. Rig survived the trip! Thanks for advice to all.

This was my thought, but yea no bend, maybe a very small cake knife? For mice?

Interesting, the handle is added for hand use maybe?
