    I painted SOOOO many houses in the Moscow-Pullman area, and all around the Palouse. 18+ years. So many different companies, including UofI Residences, and my own small shingle as well. Retired in about 2006 to go into something less hazardous. Pulled out my 440i to help a neighbor yesterday (packed in mineral spirits to keep from freeze damage in storage) and it had a tough time keeping primed. Thought I would have had to rebuild my whole fluid section, but it did build up pressure nicely once you hit the prime valve and got the paint up to it. From your video, it sounds like my lower fluid section just needs gone through, and hopefully just cleaned out and lubed up. Thanks for the video and for taking me back!

    Thanks for the instructional. I keep a gutter nail to knock my ball loose on the 400 upright. I let your disaster happen to me one time and one time only. Luckily I had a new Graco for a spare that day. It seems like the titan balls don't clean very easily. I make sure that it isn't stuck before every use now.
    I ran across your video looking for a gun rebuild tutorial. The paint store manager used to rebuild mine for free while I took a coffee break. So I never bothered to try to learn how until now. TFP

    OK, enjoying your videos, and I noticed that while pulling the pressure prime valve, there is a lot of paint. What is the best way to clean off paint ? Both fresh paint and dried up paint?? I have a gun which sat for over a year with paint on it. Trying to clean that of as well as the sprayer pump itself. Thanx, keep up those videos!!

    Do you strain your paint before spraying, I have used my Graco x7 to spray interior doors and walls but used only Sherwin Williams and didn't have problems with junk in paint till today. Using supplied paint from a manufacturer I had never heard of and the sprayer did not like, it clogged the strainer in the 5 Gal bucket of paint ,the tip Graco X517.and the gun filter. What a mess i couldn't spray 10 sq ft without cleaning strainer. I am going to strain it with both the pan strainer and the bag style and try to get this latex cleaned up. I am spraying a barn so only 65 gallons left...good times

    Is there a screen on the pick up tube?! Weird rocks got past it if so.

    • @mdemers767
      @mdemers767 4 роки тому

      Yeah, but it's not that fine of a filter. Anything 1/32" or smaller is going to get through the pickup screen. That prime valve orifice is small enough to suffer problems from debris right around that size, and a lot of paint can get dirt in it at the factory that might mess with that valve. Or even if it got left out in the sun for too long. I've found it helps immensely to filter/strain your paint before you work with it. Also keeps spray tip clogs down to a minimum.

    I've not had to do that yet. But good to see it done. One thing about self employed painters, it helps to be good "problem solvers", and making decisions quickly. (Perhaps a topic for a video).
    Even with the skills of a painter, priorities is also key. What's most important in life? Painting allows me to be able to focus on other areas of life, even thinking about the big questions, like Origins, Meaning, Morality, and Destiny.
    I would not like to make it through life and not prepare for the afterlife. To me, Jesus answers our questions, and further study can be made by checking out Ravi Zaccariah videos, and reading the book of John. God bless.

      I assume you are being sarcastic about the other stuff you mentioned.
      People mistake being victorious as being evil. To God, even though He is King, He is Loving and wants all people to come to repentance. But those that try to fight God will lose. Psalm 2 talks of Kings getting together to try to fight God. It says God laughs, because it is not possible. God Is who He Is. Deal with it.
