DANGER, Clean Painting Tools Right.

What happens here

The video transitions to showcasing the Outpak Washout system in action on a job site. Paint equipment, such as a TriTech T9 sprayer, rollers, and paint buckets, are cleaned by rinsing them with water inside the large Outpak Washout container. All the resulting paint-laden water is collected within the container's plastic liner. The Slurry Solution is then added to this collected waste, causing it to solidify into a gel-like or solid mass. Once solidified, the waste can be easily scooped out (or the entire container can be sealed and transported) for compliant disposal at a landfill. Using this system visually communicates professionalism and environmental responsibility to clients and neighbors, potentially generating positive referrals.

Goal: Effectively clean water-based paint equipment and manage waste using the Outpak Washout system on a job site.

going to have to look at what your options are but this has been a great solution for us and so one of the ways we'll use it you can just dump all of your old water into like this big orange one you can dump it all in and then stir it all up and solidify it but we found it's kind of a pain to get rid of it then at that point unless you've got like a forklift or something or you just want to shovel it all out yeah so what we've started doing is is uh using our five gallon buckets you can either dump everything into here solidify it and then scoop it all out with five gallon buckets or actually mix your five gallon buckets inside of it yeah i think another thing you know that we've discovered and we really like about the product is you're setting it up out you know in the residential area where you're painting it's orange it looks really good it makes you as a company and you as painters look really good that you're really concerned about the environment and cleaning it out yeah you know that it's kind of a nice side effect it's it's uh we always tell our guys when we're first training them that you work in a fishbowl so not only is the the client that we're working for watching you and your every move but that neighbor and that neighbor and that neighbor and that neighbor they're all watching and how many referrals do we get just because of of all of these neighbors who are watching us do a great job yep it just adds that professional look yeah now you've got this big orange blob out on the driveway or or uh you know some gravel something like that that's sitting there that says paint wash out you stand apart now from the other painters that are in the area that don't have something like that yep so check it out we're going to have some footage we're going to show you what it looks like to use this system out of the job site we're out today using it at a job site so we're going to be filming it so stay tuned you can find some information out about this stuff there's a website outback.com yeah o-u-t-o-u-t-p-a-k dot com and we're gonna put some links in the description below uh for some places where you can buy this stuff because they've they've got a couple of different places but you can also find it at uh if you're in the pacific northwest miller paint will be carrying these things and then sherwin-williams also has the ability to order them in so if it's something you're interested in if you don't want to order it online definitely hit up your manager at…
