on the can and then I took it outside to spray it with my um with my Rener 2K Poly 851. Now I took it outside and uh to spray it outside. I was using my Apollo Precision 6 HVL speed sprayer. I could have sprayed it right here, but simultaneously I was working on this project right here also. I sprayed this thing twice. It was completely saturated, you know, with the product um scuff tough. And I was a little bit worried about like the the dust created by doing my handrail that the dust would lift in the air and settle down on this and mess up that. So I took it outside, set it out in the sun where it would dry, you know, just like fast. And so I was able to do I think I actually did five coats on it.

Tried to move it into the garage too quickly. I set it down on some trim and it rolled off the trim and so had to take it back outside, resand it and shoot it again. But it just came out absolutely perfect. So, you know, that's kind of what it looks like doing a handrail.

You know, to me, you know, I I don't like chemical type products that are flammable. So, I don't like lacquers, you know, especially, I don't want to work with anything flammable. I really like water-based products. I like water-based 2K poly urethanes and um, specifically Rener 851. So that's what I shot it with. It dries uh as fast or faster than a lacquer. It sands as easy or easier than a lacquer and uh and then it's more significantly more durable than a lacquer. So highly recommend it. Vener uh 2K poly 851. So, there's a little bit about talking about my process doing a wood handrailing that you'll probably run into on any type of house that has, you know, a second
