Contract painter for 36 years here.
Turn your pressure way down when spraying thin stains,you lose a lot in overspray.
That color really is nice,turned out great.
Mike, if you're going to use this kind of stain for future builds, think about getting a 5 gallon bucket, should be cheaper in the long run.
Great job, doing well.
That respirator that you are wearing is a dust respirator. You need to wear a vapor respirator when you are spaying a oil base stain/paint. Of course you are outside so the over spay won’t be as bad.,but if you were in a enclosed room you would definitely want to wear a vapor respirator. All I have ever used is a Crayco airless spayer. I used to paint houses for a living. Interior and exterior. Water base and oil base.
I like the sprayer it looks like it really speeds things up. It's good that the wood is soaking it up and the stain is penetrating the pine. You might want to consider a heavier duty protection for your breathing. I just purchased a face mask with disposable filter cartridges that can be customized to the job you are doing.
Get a extension for the nozzle and you won't be so close to the overspray
I have one, will try it next time, wasn't sure if it would be in the way when doing the rafters
I have one for mine and it makes a tremendous difference. Not only does it keep you out of the overspray but you can easily paint ten foot ceilings while standing on the ground. I've had my X5 for over five years and it's definitely a game changer when it comes to painting. I bought mine to paint the house that I and my family built but mostly used by my son in his construction business. You can control overspray by using smaller tips like one starting with a 4. Just take the time to study and understand the tip numbers.
Morning sunshine. Maybe pressure is a little too high for the overspray?
Mike, next time you spray start with the pressure at a very low setting and work your way up until the spray tails (the little dots on the edge of the spray fan) are gone. You’re losing a ton of material to over spray. 2 gallons should be more than enough to finish the whole building. That’s a great color. I hope my recommendation helps and I’m speaking from 16 years experience.
If I have a project that typically takes 10 gallons to complete using a roller
Ballpark guesstimate how many gallons do you think it would take using this sprayer?
@@dannydeutsch279 Less than 10 gallons.
Mike.....love your channel
Small tip....when spraying rafters....throw a thin sheet of 4x8 plywood on top....move easily with where spaying.....consierable less overspry
Charles Marshall overspray is overspray, it just becomes stain on the plywood with your method and at some point it will start dripping on you . I don’t see the overspray being a problem in this situation. The entire structure is the same finish. May be helpful if you’re trying to keep it off other surfaces but a major time sucker to keep moving it to keep up with your work flow. It would be easier to use a roll of plastic.
Getter Done a lot quicker but a lot of waste goes into the Air but that is what you get with a sprayer!!👍👊
The sunlight pattern in the thumbnail photo reminds me of waffles. Be right back!
Check your pressure you have too much pressure which would cause over mist. Also if you had a larger/taller area you can join a second hose to it. Nice looking Job. Make sure your read how to store it.
Years ago I brushed my 36 x 48 barn, it took 60 hours. More recently I have sprayed it twice at about 4 hours each time. That included time for fixing the sprayer when it gave trouble!
DEAR MIKE. ,, A PAINTER'S MASK WITH TWO ROUND FILTERS ON MASK IS REQUIRED WHEN SPRAYING AND THE MISTY VAPORS ARE AROUND YOU PLEASE CONSIDER THIS ,, WE CARE !
I have the x7 and x9 they are all good! Great brand. I what the handheld Graco Ultra Cordless that runs off the dewalt 20 volt battery but that price tag is keeping me away. You definitely use more paint and stain no matter what you are doing with sprayer like that. Looks great! You'll like your new spray tan too..
Spray tan is right!!!
I have a graco sprayer. They are great. Just be sure that everyone that borrows it clean it good.
Its looking good Mike, as I said its a little learning curve. The only thing you need is a 5 gallon bucket to pull from, to get a more consistent color. Plus a damp towel to cover the bucket to keep any trash, debris or dirt in your paint or stain. Catch you on the next one!
Melissa's next Memorial Day or 4th of July gift, a PTO powered generator for the tractor. More powerful (can power most of your house in an outage) and no need to worry about running it to keep the carb clean (more efficient running the diesel tractor), plus doesn't take valuable space in the bucket. Melissa will love you for it, Haha!
Nice job. Thanks for the free education. Have a productive day.
Like👍
Looks like a fine piece of equipment and helps get the job done in half the time. Love your channel and keep up the good work!
Mike do a little research on tips. I have the same sprayer and a hand held. Regulator settings can make a difference also check out graco FFLP tips. For a quick lesson check out the Idaho painter on you tube. Color looks good.
Just curious what size spray tip you were using. Thanks for sharing, beautiful job.
I have lots of "pro-tips" on using the Graco, which I'd have generously provided if you'd only had the puppy running around underfoot for my amusement. Love the Morgan clan!
*Just what I need to cover the outside of my sauna reno. The airless sprayer looked like a huge time-saver!*
The background music for many of the videos is obnoxious! (Yak)!! Why can't we just listen to the hum of the tractor or hum of whatever?
You ALWAYS said,. as your channel was approaching 100K, that you didn't want to lose touch with the heart beat of your channel.... PLEASE stay with that down home theme! A detached 200K, 300K, 500K+ might temporarily make your bank account shine.... but in the end... I don't think it'll provide any retirement nest.
Mike, you should check out Josaljo UA-cam channel, he built a platform for his woodmizer mill. It is 6"x6"x4' crossways and 6"x6"x16' lengthwise. It raises the mill 12" plus the mill bed higher. Less bending. He is an older gentleman so he wanted to make things easier for himself.
I like it. It looks like that sprayer will actually get product between those siding boards.
Once again, good info from the Morgans.
You can cut down on waste by buying different jets. 2 in. 3,4,6,8. spray widths. Also couple different length extensions. Also a swivel just behind the spray tip, you can adjust different angles so you're not contorting your arm. Also the paper mask is not enough. A partial respirator for solvents. I ran 2 units for 25 years. Good luck
Nice to see the shed with color. Also interesting that although not everything you have is the same asI have, but I have been using Stihl products for over 20 years, I bought an Ezmark mower at the end of last season and now you got one, I am looking to buy a Kubota BX23S as soon as I can and now you guys have one, and then the surprise, you pull out a Champion generator. Although it's newer then mine, I have the same model I bought about ten or eleven years ago for camping but it ended up being used for power outages around my house. Looking forward to seeing how that Grayco sprayer works for you over future projects. Till then Have A Day.
I think you will find yourself buying 5 gallon buckets of stain. Not sure if your model has a second strainer in the handle? Just an FYI If you do any paint products with heavy solids in them, make sure you remove and.clean that strainer as well. We painted houses with Graco sprayers years ago and followed the sprayer with a 3/4 Knapp roller. Very quick application process, and evened out the paint very well. We did 1 barn with stain, board and batten style, rolled all the open areas and followed up with a brush on the corners. Great work on the wood shed. You will be very happy with that sprayer.
How many times did the generator fall or all most fall out of the bucket.... LOL ... Looks great Mike
I had an X 7 years ago. You could slide a 5 gallon bucket under it. That was before You Tube and for some reason I didn't have a quick guide like that. I blew paint in my face while priming twice, loaned it out once and it came back full of dry paint. Two things I NEVER do now. I never paint or stain and I don't lend tools!
I would strongly recommend picking up a hooded Tyvek suit ($20 on Amazon) as well as a pair of cheap plastic safety glasses the next time you use it. Getting that stain/sealant all over you is probably not the healthiest option. And agree with everyone else, looks like you had way too much pressure. A few more uses and you’ll get it down.
Looked like the pressure was high to me. Did you play with that any? Looks good. I liked that hillbilly girl helping you with her painting clothes on. She looked very comfortable.
Sound of a morning dove in the back ground during sprayer set up is cool....
What did you prime the sprayer with. I saw you used two cans looked like paint thinner?
I am surprised you didn’t use the BigToolRack. Would have saved you a trip!
Hi, John here from Steelton, Pa. Just outside of Harrisburg, love the puppy, hope he brings your family a lot of joy and love.
Nice sprayer! But Mellisa, I don't think you will be able to spray gunite with it to build your pool! 🤪 😭
Pressure too high causing over abundance of over spray. If everything is right the overspray should almost be non existent. But that is near impossible so expect a little. You had way too muc!
Mike, After a few days to let everything evaporate cover the box of the sprayer with a trash bag. Sprayers do not like dust of any sort. If you leave it like that on the shelf with months of dust, you will be frustrated with future projects. Just a thought. Have a day.
I would think a respirator mask would be a lot better protection from breathing in any chemicals??
Highly recommend ethanol free gas. I have an Onan Cummings 6500 generator that has had limited use for 5 years. I had to replaces the carbonator and the shut off valve due to erosion caused by ethanol. If your using ethanol gas suggest you drain the tank when not in use.
Feed the Hungry, get the corn out of my gas tank.
A couple of questions from a novice. Can you comment on the cleanup process. How do you clear the stain out of the feed and sprayer head? What was the bucket of mineral spirits for? Are you using it to dilute the stain to improve flow? Finally, how is the application of stain different from paint? The simple answer may be links to Graco videos that address these questions. I have never used a sprayer which is the reason that I am asking for basic information. Thanks for your video !!
how did you ground the strain pail, because according the instructions you're supposed to ground the bucket when using oil based?
Look nice Mike, spraying is the way to go I have a older wagner that has a hopper for the product, they use a lot of material but save time.
Y'all should point out that the machine is not wasteful. The waste is just part of spraying open work space like the joists and other framing elements. The spray method probably took less to stain the solid areas like the walls. Just my opinion.
Spence in SC
Love that stain color. I spent a lot of years spraying in my body shop. Relatable information. Get a 3M carbon based filter mask with rubberized housing for a good fit. They are in the 20 some to 30 dollar range. Even better yet is the full face mask covering your eyes as well. I need a paragraph to explain all of that.
When spraying it is best to edge out the work surfaces first. When you go all around the edges it frames the job, and then you can focus on doing the flat surfaces evenly. Done effectively enough it would all but eliminate the brushing, at least for the most part.
I had mentioned that on the header/face panel (You are a perfectionist like I am) you would need to brush a certain area away from where you stopped with the brushing because the sprayer is not going to give you the option of going up to that line finely. It would create a second coat situation which would result in a much darker overlap spot. From the video yes it is a much darker patch. Whether it dries closer to the rest or not is to be seen. One way to correct it is to roller or brush a second coat across the entire header and stop finely along that edge so then everything on the header would have only one second coat. (Where it is overlapped you do not coat that again.) That header is your header. It is the marquee spot on the shed so spending such a little bit of time to make it even makes sense.
So yes edging out first, and then combining the ideal head for spray pattern, and being able to focus on overlapping the coats will give you the technique that you yearn for. Perfecting the spray head size will enable you to cover a good sized area without too wide of a spray pattern which wastes a lot of material into the air. Have to play with it to find the sweet spot. When edging out I noticed others advising you to get an extension, ideally you don't want an extension for edging out when the area is easily reachable, but extensions of course are great for big flat areas that are harder to reach.
Yep, it works a lot better than the pump sprayer.
By the way Archie is going to be a handful before long. Thanks
Glad to see the graco working well, I've often considered getting a sprayer over the years but never did. Now that my helpers are adults they aren't always around to help, so a graco may be in my future.
MIKE, don't ya just dislike the learning curve! BUT....that's what it takes to master the task, and become a Pro!
Good stuff!
The machine comes with a generic tip. You can buy tips based on what you are sprays and the width of the board (fan width) you need. Search for tip selector on their site. I used to sell, rent, and maintain Graco sprayers. They are a tough little machine.
You run mineral spirits through the machine and outlet hose, and then put that back in the paint? Wont that ruin the paint having mineral spirits in it?
Airless sprayer doesn't mean no over spray. Get the proper mask for your safety. The dual respirator is not very expensive, but you want to protect those lungs of yours. Good video.
Mike you have your Mask on Upside down the Metal is to be on the top
Mike you said that you had been to Watkins Glen that is 20 minutes north of me I live in Erin NY and we are to get 5 to8 inchs of snow tomarrow into Friday
Get yourself a painting sock for your head coverage and tyveck suit it will save on clothes and make cleanup much easier.
I bought the X5 for my wife to paint a stairwell going into our basement. She is OCD about details and with all the setup and being new with the X5 it was a failure. She started spraying and the overspray was so thick she couldn't see, kind of snow blind with white paint. She needed to turn the pressure down but by that time when was done and ended up rolling it on with an extension pole.
Looks good. I’d be interested to see the full cleanup process. Had a cheap sprayer for my air compressor and the spraying was fine, but cleanup took forever and was hard to get everything cleaned up for storage so that you didn’t get a clogged machine for the next time.
Hey Hunter! 👋
Have a day! 😀
The clean up is pretty simple after you have done it a few times. It is really easy for latex paints because water is your cleanup solvent. You just have to factor in waste which is the biggest draw back. It works great for big jobs with a single color but it gets tricky fast with multiple colors or small jobs. Like everything else, use it for what it is intended for and you will enjoy it.
:) yup.an airless does make life nice. So far I've run through 85 gallons of Sherwin Williams super paint spraying my factory. Clean up is the sucky part: 2 hours or more and with oil based about 2.5 gallons of solvent. Mine is a Titan brand about 20 years old.
Hi mike I enjoy so much watching your video that I'll like to meet you and your family some day.
Hey Mike your mask is upside-down . You have the best music on youtube. You guys are awesome .
Just make sure you clean it well, otherwise it will be a one time use sprayer, trust me, I thought I had clean mine well but I was wrong. Not the same model that you used in video.
Looks great. We are in the market and have been a little while for a sprayer. And have been eye balling these for a while. Sounds like a good product.
Finally a real , legitimate reason to wear a mask. But I digress......
Luv the music you play makes my joyous
I've always tried to run the spray with the grain of wood as much as possible. Pretty much eliminates the need to brush.
mike, way too much pressure....thats why so much overspray.
Thanks Mike . I was waiting for this video . Love the colour of the stain . It's hard to pick which stain to get but it's an easy choice when you see what colour someone else has used . Gonna save this video in my favourites just for the colour . Bright sunny morning in Southern Ontario . 61F . Take care .
Time with the tool Mike ... that’s all you need ... time with the tool ... I’ve been working with tools all my life and for me, the instructions, tutorials, and in some instances in person education is all great but nothing has taught me more about using a tool than actually using it over and over ... btw, I think that sprayer nozzle will rotate so you’re always holding the handle vertical ... maybe not ... I have a Graco myself but haven’t used it in a long time ... lastly ... being able to load and haul heavy equipment with a tractor must be a plus ... thanks for sharing your experiences with others
Do you think your pressure was set too high? Cut it back a little and you wont get so much overspray.
Looking Better. Sprayer is the ticket. A little waste but making up time. Worth it!
Hey after you clean that airless you could run a bit of kerosene thru it . keeps things lubed a bit . especially if you dont use it very often . always use the ( throat ) oil also on the shaft seals . keeps them happy also . your puppy is absolutely gorgeous .
Looks great guys did a great job. PS Melissa you're good looking hot mess
“ Mike” 55 gallons drums! Your building more buildings?
Had my X5 for about 5-years and love it for internal woodwork, trim, molding painting.....no brush strokes......of course you need to tape of and seal room you are doing, but it does a great job.
there is a lot of surface area with different absorbtion rate plus the wind. great job .make sure you clean every thing really good for next time!!
Looks fantastic. The sprayer was just the ticket. 👍❤️ Y’all have a day.
Good morning Morgan's. Staining looks terrific, I agree with using extension wand on the gun, it really helps. That stain will really make the new pool house look great! 😉👍
Good morning Morgan's. Awesome puppy reveal last night. I got to get me a paint sprayer. Have many projects, would be real handy. Thanks for the video and have a day.
Very nice job, looks fabulous!!!(R)
Did you intentionally wear the mask upside down? Metal is supposed to pinch around the nose to make a seal haha
Looked like your beard and stash were colored in stain to.
Looks good and yes spraying is alot faster and easier.
Thanks
You need to add thinner to the stain which helps with the soak in to use less stain . Why are you using a ladder you got an extention for the sprayer.
would there be less waste if sprayed before you build all laid out on saw horses looks real nice does cut down time for you
Fantastic job Mike and Melissa, sure does a great job with your sprayer, once you get the hang of it there will be less loss of stain. That’s a pretty cool tool for your arsenal 👍👍. You’ll be filling up the wood shed real quick. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Love your channels. Used a sprayer for my privacy fence once, gave my green truck a nice red hue from the over spray blowing in the wind. Nice mess to clean up and a lessen learned.
Hey Mike if you are getting a lot over spray turn your pressure control down.
Looks great shouldn't take much more to finish it
Looks great mike looking forward to your next projects,have a day!
thanks for using sprayer ---i've always been afraid to try to use ---think you have enboldened me to try next time
Turn the pressure down and you won’t get so much over spray
You said you took a tip out, what tip did you replace it with for the stain?
Time to get Melissa her stove now!
STOVE? wheres the POOL?
Sprayer did a great job....a lot faster
Great job. Put a extension on and you want get it all over you
What is the moisture of the wood?
I seen how its was shrinking
Looks great Guys, cant wait to use mine here at the farm. I'm all about saving time. :)
What size post did you use? And did you set them in cement?
