3 Tips To Be Successful While Airless Spraying

What happens here

Attach a cardboard shield to a specialized holder, such as the Kraft Cardboard Shield Holder. This setup is crucial for controlling overspray, particularly in windy conditions or when painting near footings, corners, gutters, or soffits. The cardboard shields are disposable but can often be reused multiple times. The holder allows for tool-free angle adjustment by simply tapping it on the ground, making it very user-friendly. Cardboard shields are advantageous over heavier metal shields as they minimize wrist and elbow fatigue, especially when paint builds up on the shield. Always keep a clean shield ready to swap when one becomes coated with paint.

Goal: Use a cardboard shield holder to effectively manage overspray, protecting adjacent surfaces and improving precision. This tool is easily adjustable and lighter than metal alternatives, reducing fatigue during use.

The craft shield holder, the reason why I like it is that it adjusts simply and easily. You just tap it on the ground and it's that the angle of it is going to adjust and you can adjust attention on that. You don't have to take and use the thumb screw, or wing knot and no tools actually adjust it.

If you ever invested in an airless sprayer, this goes right along with it. Don't ever spray without one. There is metal ones and there is cardboard ones. I used probably the first five years of my career. I would use a metal shield holder. And once again, like an extension, like a whip, the weight of it using it all day long. A lot more fatigue, risk fatigue, because of the weight of the metal and then the paint that builds up on it. And you have to continually wipe it off, clean it off. As soon as they get a little bit of paint on them, set it aside to dry out, put another one, easy to switch on and off. Graph cardboard shield holder, extension and a whip.
