How to Spray a Door Jamb Like a Pro (No Drips or Runs!) | Airless Sprayer Tutorial

What happens here

The presenter outlines his specific three-pass method for spraying door jambs to ensure full coverage and prevent runs. He first sprays the 'edges' (the narrow, inner sides of the jamb that face the opening) with a vertical pass on both sides. This is to ensure those critical, harder-to-reach edges are adequately covered. Then, he performs a continuous 'face, angle, face' sequence: this involves spraying the main, widest face of the jamb with a straight vertical pass, immediately following with an angled pass (to hit the corner between the face and the previously sprayed inside edge), and then another straight vertical pass on the face. He emphasizes the importance of a continuous, sweeping motion through these passes without stopping the trigger. This entire 'face, angle, face' technique is repeated for both vertical sections of the door jamb. Finally, he highlights the importance of spraying the top horizontal header of the door jamb, getting onto a step ladder if necessary, to ensure complete and uniform coverage across all surfaces. The sequence for the header also follows the 'face, angle, face' principle, but horizontally.

So I'm a big fan of tritech tips and especially their fine finished tips. I don't think there's any fine finish tip I made right now that's any better than tritech tips. The size of the tip, I use a 5-10 tip and somebody, if you have any experience spraying trams, some very very good question, you know, why don't you use a 3-10 tip. And when you see me spraying this door jam and some trams, you know, it's a 5-10 is a fairly wide fan compared to a 3-10,
