What happens here

To address the common frustration of paint drying and clogging the sprayer tip, the speaker demonstrates a 'pro tip.' He suggests taking a lip balm stick (specifically mentions Burt's Bees or chapstick), rubbing it on a finger, and then applying a small amount of the balm directly to the sprayer's tip. This creates a barrier that prevents paint from drying on the tip, ensuring smooth operation even after breaks.

Goal: Learn and apply a simple but effective technique using lip balm to prevent paint from drying and clogging the tip of a paint sprayer, improving efficiency and reducing frustration.

[Music] So, what is the Apollo 7700 atomizer gun have in common with birds bees? Well, I got a pro tip for you. You know when it's really frustrating picking the paint off of your tip right here that's dried on there when you've gone off and done something. You got off the lunch, come back and you're trying to get it to spray and it's clogged. Guess what? You can just take some chapstick or BS bees. Take it, rub your finger on it, rub your finger on the tip, get some of that chapstick, some of that lip balm on the tip. Paint won't dry on your tip now. So now you won't have that frustration when you pull your gun, nothing coming out.
