What happens here

The presenter outlines the full staining method. He emphasizes the need to back-brush areas that receive a lot of weather and water, such as the tops of the laps, prior to spraying. He then describes the spraying equipment: a Graco 695 sprayer with a 515 tip, set at a low pressure of about 1800 PSI. This low pressure is chosen because the stain is watery, preventing excessive atomization.

Goal: Understand the comprehensive technique for effective stain application using both manual and spray methods.

Tools and materials

  • 515 spray tip — Controlling the spray pattern and flow rate of the stain
  • Graco 695 sprayer Graco — Spraying the stain onto the siding

What they say

And the tops of these laps get a lot of weather, get a lot of water, and so they get pretty beat up and so it's good to back brush them with stain first prior to spraying it with the stain. And then we're going to go back and spray it with our Graco 695 sprayer. We're going to be using a 515 tip at a pretty low pressure cuz it's a stain and it's pretty watery. We're going to be using about 1,800 PSI pressure. So, I'm going to go along. I'm going to back brush all these laps right here. And then we're going to go back and spray it. And then we're going to back brush and back roll the actual face of the boards with our nap after it's been sprayed. And we'll show you how we go about doing that right now.
