    Hi Leah. Thought I'd add a tip about masking, say, windows... put a course of tape on the glass around the window up against the trim first because it is easier to make a finer straight edge with tape than wrestling with the paper, itself, to make it fit the edges of the glass. Then fold an lay the paper so that it covers the area inside the tape. Taping around the masking paper, make sure half of the tape covers the edge course of tape and half over the paper. Cleanup is a breeze and you don't have to touch up raggedy spots... but it does use more masking tape. The finished job looks much cleaner.

    Hi Leah - Whenever I am thinking of a home project I first check your videos! I recently was looking for two things. One was the airless paint sprayer - excellent information. The second was not there, how to measure a room for tile. How to lay the tile out, but not how to measure it. I found the information, but the truth is I trust you more than others, you make everything seem so simple. Once I start looking at one video I can't stop watching at least five more of your DIY videos. You are dangerous for me, as I want to do everything you show lol. Thank you so very much for all your how-to videos, your patience in teaching, and no extra chitchat.

  • @ripntearslayer9101
    @ripntearslayer9101 4 роки тому +9

    A couple tips:
    1. You seem to be getting some heavy tails at full pressure. I would suggest thinning the paint. If it's latex then you just add water. Look at your paint's technical specification sheet to see how much you can (you can find that at the same place you got your paint or also online in most cases)
    2. The numbers on the tip 515 for example; the first number in a 3-digit or the first 2 numbers in a 4-digit refer to how wide the fan is at a certain distance while the last 2 digits refer to how much fluid is getting thru the tip (match these numbers to the ones given on the tech spec sheet)

  • @KaliBlaz
    @KaliBlaz 5 років тому +3

    Great video, just wanted to add that if you want to paint up and down instead of side to side you will need to turn your sprayer guard vertical, also the numbers on your airless sprayer correspond to the pressure required by the paint manufacturer, so number 5 for example = 5000psi of pressure, also the tip number 515 mean how wide your fan is and how much material you will be spraying. Take the first number and double its value so a 515 tip will spray a 10 inch fan at 12" distance, the last 2 digits mean the hole size of your tip, in other words the amount of paint being allowed out of the sprayer, 15 in 515 mean you have 0.15 orifice.
    when you purchase paint, ask for this info. use only the appropriate tip size and pressure for the paint/primer or anything else you are buying.

    I'm currently in the process of painting my house and that's almost the exact same color! My Wagner is an old one that requires you to thin the paint with lubricant (Floetrol) until it runs timely through a viscosity funnel. It's such a chore getting it right and cleaning up the mess that I've elected to use a brush. I'd buy a new gun but, unfortunately, funds are limited. Thanks for the very informative video! Like all of your videos, it was very enjoyable! 👍👍

    Always check the tip is straight and in proper placement before you pull trigger. Sometimes you will put gun down and it will get turned sideways. Then if you pull trigger it will shoot back at your face. I paint for a living and it's happened lots of times.

    Leah, your knowledge is gold! I'm actually don't my garage right now the old hard way. I used a torch to get off all the old paint and just primed it last night. The wood was so dry it ate the printer up like a sponge. Would this work with primer as well? Also what brand and how much do you suggest for a good one. Something that will last and do a good job for years to come. Thank you Leah, your the best.!!! John

      Yes , it works with primer. Name brands for paint is a personal preference. Ive used Benjamin Moore, Glidden, Sherwin Williams and store brands.
