my logical start and stop point is going to be the window and this corner board right here and the window and this corner board below the window. I'll be spraying starting here and I'll be stopping there. And what that does is that eliminates your um heavy spots where you're starting and stopping. You'll get those heavy spots and they could run or uh be a shiny spot or they could dry too quickly and crackle. So, uh you want to try to eliminate those heavy spots by getting your logical start and stop points. So, I got a start and stop point right here. So, I'm just going to begin spraying my siding just like that on my start and stop points. And then I'll just work my way down that window. I'll work my way underneath the window. And I typically work from the top of the house to the bottom of the house. I've already sprayed the top up here. I'm going to be working this section down. So, I'm going to continue working right here along this section. And one thing you want to be conscious of is inside you've got little holes where um the lap siding is uh shows holes inside there.

And then I'll start with my large logical starts and stop and begin spraying. Another thing I want to be aware of is my laps. They kind of like roll under and my gun, the angle my gun, you want to be spraying. So it sprays up and underneath those laps. So now I've come to my longer points right here. We're going to be spraying. And then when I get down to the bottom, if I've got footings that I got to shield, that's where I'd use my cardboard shield to shield my footings. And I've got masking down cuz this is a deck. But I typically use my shield and just walk the footings and spray the footings just like that. Now I'm going to work my way all the way down to the bottom. Just like that. And when I'm spraying, I typically want to overlap 50%. So, as I'm going down doing my spray pattern, I'm overlapping 50%. And that will give you the proper mill thickness that you…
