I'm gonna pump gunite for the first time and would like to know the do's and don't of gunite pumping. How big of a compressor do i need, how much time do I have before it goes off, and the best way to clean it out. Just a little worried cause I've never done it before. I have a gunite gun.

Ive never seen anyone do it with less than 150cfm on the compressor as for when it goes off depends on all the normal factors you dont want any more than 20% rebound if you have more than that mud is way to wet

 To clean out i blow the spray hose first.then the pipeline then the pump.
