What happens here

When working with grooved siding (e.g., T1-11), it's essential to angle the spray gun to effectively direct paint into the grooves. Instead of spraying directly perpendicular to the surface, approach the grooves from an angle, then from the opposite angle. This technique ensures that both sides of the groove receive adequate paint coverage. Similarly, for inside corners, spray at an angle into the corner from one direction, then change your position and spray into the same corner from the opposing direction. This guarantees that no part of the corner or its associated grooves is missed.

Goal: For grooved surfaces like T1-11 siding and inside corners, angle the spray gun to ensure complete penetration and coverage of all recessed areas, preventing missed spots.

What they say

Hide

furniture, etc. So, I'm hitting this angle because I got to hit this side right here. So, I don't want to hit it square. I want to hit that side. And then I turn it back. So, 50%. When I come up here, I turn it back quickly so I don't come up and then just end. I turn it back quickly so I don't cause a heavy spot in a run. When I'm spraying like this type of siding, like T111 siding or that has this groove right here, if my gun is at an angle, I'm going to be missing this side of the groove. I'll be spraying the opposite side. So, I want to have the gun square to that groove. But then when I come to the end right here, if I have it square right here, I'm actually going to be missing that side. So, I I've got to have my gun shoot it at an angle right there. And typically, if you probably saw overspray, when I get to my corners, typically always have my cardboard shield with me.
