Airless Spraying The Right Way? Painting with an airless sprayer

What happens here

When painting high sections of a building, particularly if working alone, it's not always possible to have ideal logical start and stop points. In such cases, strategize to work on the side of the building that is currently in shade. This extended drying time allows you to maintain a 'wet edge' as you move across the surface or reposition ladders. Critically, avoid spraying high sides in direct sunlight if you cannot consistently maintain a wet edge, as dry paint can quickly lead to noticeable flashing or lap marks. Adapt your approach to the conditions to ensure the best possible finish.

Goal: When working on high sides, especially alone, prioritize spraying during cooler, shaded conditions to maintain a wet edge and avoid flashing.

What they say

Hide

stop especially if you're working alone down this side right here I split it in the middle and I waited till this side is shaded right here it's not going to dry as fast I can still keep a wet Edge so you know sometimes you're just not always going to have a start and stop point but just you'll work with the best you can try never to um spray a high side that you don't have logical start and stops on and the direct sunlight Because by the time you get down the ladder get up to the top to spray the opposite side you're going to be spraying right into dry paint and you're definitely going to see that when um it all dries out [Music] foreign
