waste you have to have kind of like a plan of attack you know when you're spraying this piece of furniture you know it's you know what should you spray top bottom side we'll just say for instance a coffee table I'm going to be doing the legs first if there's anything like underneath I'm going to be tilting have it tilted up do any spraying underneath then I'm going to hit all four legs I'm going to hit the sides of it and then I'm going to come and do the top of it and when I do the top I don't like the legs and stuff I don't cross-hatch anything I'm going to spray it you know vertically up and down on the leg I'm going it's like what we say going with the grain the grain is vertical so I'm going to spray it you know up down vertically the side r on the coffee table I'm going to it's going with the grain that way I'm going to spray it you know horizontally when it comes to the tabletop I want this thing to be absolutely glassy smooth I don't have to worry about runs at all so I'm just going to load it on I'm going spray it You One Direction I'm going to come back and spray it the opposite direction and we call that cross hatching net and that's going to give you the ultimate glassy finish on that thing and once again I'm going to work quickly so that you know any overrate coming down and hitting the sides of my legs is not going to you know cause it to get rough from overspray because the legs are already starting to dry you know something that will help you if you're us spraying you know with an AOS sprayer hlp sprayer if the temperature is really high or there's like a lack of humidity that it's going to dry like really quick especially if you're not putting enough on you really want to like load your product on say a leg and overlap 50% get it on there so you're not skim coating it or fog coating it like if you're just fog coating it getting a light coat on it's going to flash dry really quick and then your legs can get rough but you know with 2K polyes one of the great things about them is a lot of them are just one coat and done so you got your primer coat and your top coat and and you're done you can reshoot everything but there's times when well I'll just mask off the top or one leg was this I'll just mask off just do that one leg over but you know um it there's never anything you know set in stone you know whether you're doing you know the top first or the legs first Etc you really just got to like look at the whole project as a whole and come up…
