What happens here

Set up your airless sprayer (e.g., TriTech T5) for optimal application. Maintain very low pressure on the sprayer to minimize overspray, which is crucial for controlling product waste and environmental impact, especially in areas with nearby plants (though this product is non-toxic to plants). Use a small tip, specifically a 517 HEA (High-Efficiency Airless) tip, which provides a fine finish and allows for lower pressure. Attach a 30-inch extension to the spray gun. This extension keeps you further from the fence, reducing personal exposure to overspray and allowing for better reach, especially when spraying horizontal planks from different angles without constantly bending or stretching. The video demonstrates connecting the extension and mentions using old tips for fences as a fine finish is not critical.

Goal: Configure the airless sprayer for efficient and controlled application of the oil-based sealer.

right. So, we've got, you know, I've got a five that's, you know, about 3/4 full. This fence, the portions we're doing, the sections, I'm not going to go through a five. I'll go through probably maybe 2 and 1/2 gallons or so. If you were going to go through multiple fives, it's a good idea to box them. So, I got two fives that are the same color. This was the original that was used on the fence when it was originally coated with the expert stain machine. This is a new five. You'll want to box them and mix them together. So, I'm getting my my sprayer set up. I typically use a 30-in extension so I'm not next to the fence when spraying so I'm not just getting clobbered, you know, with overspray or oil. I always use um just old tips. I don't use any new tips when I'm spraying a fence. You're not after like a fine finish or you're not worried about um especially with expert stain and seal products. You're not worrying about fingering and all that stuff cuz it self-levels. But I always use an HA tip. Gives you nice feathered edges. This is a 517. I'll spray it with a 517 HA cuz I can kick the pressure way down. I don't want a lot of pressure because I want to control overspray. This isn't about I don't I'm not concerned about going, you know, super fast. What I'm concerned about is overspray carrying, you know, for 100 yards down the road. It's about 800 PSI. So that's down about right where I want it. So now you can see I can get a
