(2,500 characters)So I'm spraying a product from Sugar Wham's called a scuff tough match stuff with this 5-10 tip and that pressure, it's been spraying out super nice. So I'm going to talk about the door jam itself. I'm right handed, so it's more natural for me to spray a door jam from right to left. If you're left handed, it might be more natural for you to spray from left to right. Now how I actually spray a door jam, I came up with this method from years and years of practice of getting runs in certain places on door jams and window trim, etc. And I'll explain to you why I do what I do. When I spray, I'm going to start off of my surface. You never want to start spraying on your surface, whether you have an extension or not, because you're more likely to get a spit onto this nice smooth surface. I always start off the surface and end off the surface. So wherever I'm going to end, I'll come off and release my trigger. So I don't start pulling the trigger on, I don't release the trigger on. So I'm going to start off and I'm going to come into a sweeping arc. I don't want to have starts and stops. That's the whole goal of when you're trying to tackle something like this is not having to start and stop and or overlap. So early on in my career, what I would do is I would spray the face, I'd come straight up, spray that face, and then I'd come across and spray it coming across. So now I just came up. I created a line coming up with one coat. Then I come across and shoot it again. So this has got one coat. This has got two coats. It aligns. There's going to be a line right here. That's a run spot. And I would get runs there all the time. And so it's the same thing. If you just, you know, if you come up here and come back down, got an end point, a start and stop point, a heavy point, more likely to run. So you want to have this thing somehow sprayed continuously, you know, with no overlaps. Now sometimes you got to break the rules. But this is where the 5-10 tip, you know, comes in play. I mean, you're going to come up here and you want it because I'm doing a continuous movement. I'm not coming up and coming across. So I want this continuous movement like this to eliminate overlaps. And I'm going to come up and I don't want to come up and stall and turn the corner because if you stall, this is going to be a heavy spot right here. So it's going to be this natural sweeping movement coming up and then back down. My whole goal in this thing is to spray this whole side and a multiple…
