all right so we're out here at the Bruno sand dun's getting we're actually painting the inside this is where the turret is and the telescope is going to be we're rolling some block so I'm applying uh locks on XP on this block and you know there's a couple options you can spray and back roll it or you could just use an inner feed roller I'm a big fan of this inner feed roller and um one of the reasons why it doesn't create a lot of overspray and dust that you got to breathe and it's a lot faster than like probably four to five times faster than dipping and rolling just hooked up to an airless spare running around 400 PSI got it hooked up to a tric T4 and I'm just back rolling these walls so you know one of the reasons why I chose to use it here we could spray and back roll but we got all kinds of metal work and stuff and we've got equipment that you know um is inside here we don't want to put a lot of dust in here there also is a polished concrete floor that's been polished not sealed I don't want to put a lot of silica dust all over that floor either it's a great option I do get asked you know quite often does it come in an 18in size so it only comes in a 9 in and 18in actually matters when you're dipping and actually rolling and dipping because you can actually uh go twice as fast with an 18-inch roller but since there is no dipping with this it doesn't really matter that it's only 9 in because you're just constantly moving and constantly rolling and it does get kind of a little bit heavy after a while kind of a little bit exhausted from doing this turret but if you had an 18-in roller it's going to be twice as heavy cuz it's actually loaded up full of paint I think it's just going to be impractical using an 18 cuz of just how heavy it is but it's a great option uh because we're not spraying you less masking so you when you're spraying you got to mask more then when you're um just using an inner feed roller I really like the thing it's awesome don't forget to Dent it before you start using it I forgot to Dent the roller here it left lens all over the block wall where I started and we had to clean that off um you're going to have to sand it off if you don't get it off before it dries so tweezers sponge wiped it all off and I was good to go so one of the reasons why I use intervie roller is just a lot more comfortable for me too I don't have to wear a mask don't have to breathe you'll silica dust and over stay all day long don't have to go home all dusty and dirty either [Music] [Applause] [Music]
