All right. In this video, I'm going to show you how I go about spraying window sills to get a perfect finish, that glassy smooth top. I'm going to kind of talk about them.

If you have overlapping spots, if I come back and come back here, overlapping spots going to be right here, you could get a run. If I come here and come across here, you could end up having overlapping spots someplace in this corner and getting runs on here. And so I developed a technique doing window sills that was replicatable without runs. And you'll see exactly how I do it here. Now, if you need a mask cuz I'm going to be shooting at an angle. This is going to come up. It'll hit this. If you're concerned about it, you'll hitting your glass. You want to put another row of paper on there. Here's my
