What happens here

This video demonstrates the application of an oil-based spray primer to a closet, focusing on both wooden shelves and drywall walls. The presenter initially explains the benefits of using an oil-based primer for wood to prevent grain raising, followed by a sanding step for a smooth finish. Subsequently, he applies the same primer to the closet walls, emphasizing safety precautions like wearing a respirator. Note: The video uses an oil-based primer on wood and drywall, which differs from the requested context of 'latex primer on drywall'.

So, I'm getting ready to uh prime a closet right here. And I'm just going to be using a turbo spray cans with a closet pack done by a handyman. I've, you know, cocked it. Now, I'm just going to spray it. No need to load up an airless sprayer when I got just such a small little project like this. I'm using an oilbased uh primer because I don't want the wood grain to be raised on, you know, the shelves. It'll actually be harder to sand if you use a water-based product. So, I'm just going to spray it. The stuff will dry really fast. Then, I'll come back and sand it. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat.
