What happens here

He then refills the clean bucket with fresh, clean mineral spirits (about half a gallon). He repeats the recirculation process through both the spray gun and the prime tube one last time. This ensures that the sprayer is flushed with entirely clean mineral spirits, removing any lingering traces of paint or contaminated thinner, leaving the system thoroughly clean.
