Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Nelson marking gun used for?
A Nelson marking gun is a pistol-style applicator that shoots a spot of paint onto a tree when triggered. It is used for timber harvest marking, boundary blazing, and forest inventory work, allowing foresters to mark hundreds of trees quickly and accurately.
Does Nelson Paint come in different colors?
Yes. Nelson Paint cartridges are available in multiple colors including orange, yellow, blue, red, and white — each used for different marking purposes in timber and land management operations.
How do you load a Nelson marking gun?
Nelson guns accept standard-size paint cartridges that load into the barrel. The trigger mechanism punctures the cartridge and a controlled amount of paint is expelled with each trigger pull.
