A homemade hand pump for finished putty is a good idea for craftsmen who need to putty a lot on walls or window slopes. For the manufacture of this device, pieces of sewer plastic pipe with a diameter of 32 and 40 mm will be required.
The hand pump is distinguished by a rather simple design, so making it will not be a problem even for those who do not have experience in making homemade products. You can use such a pump not only for pumping putty, but also waterproofing.
Factory models of putty pumps, as a rule, work on the principle of an open bucket. Whereas a homemade hand pump is a closed type. Thus, the putty, which is in the bucket, will be cleaned from exposure to air. So, it will be suitable for work longer.
The main stages of work
To make a manual pump for puttying, you will need two pieces of a regular plastic pipe (for sewage). The diameter of the tubes is 32 and 40 mm. That is, one pipe enters another. At the bottom of the pump, a plug is fastened, in which holes are drilled to fence the putty.
At the top of a homemade hand pump, you can fix a 45 degree bend or a connector for sewer pipes. The second option is more practical, since various home-made "nozzles" can be connected to the plastic sleeve.
