What happens here

The video explains that 'spits' (sputtering or irregular paint discharge) are common when using an extension on an airless paint sprayer, particularly when starting and stopping the spray in the middle of a smooth surface. The demonstrator uses a 10-inch extension with a RAC X Fine Finish 310 tip on an airless sprayer.

Goal: Learn why 'spits' occur when using an airless paint sprayer with an extension, especially on smooth surfaces like doors, and identify the equipment used for this demonstration.

Chris, the Idaho Painter. In this video, we're going to show you how we go about spraying a door and spraying this door. We got a smooth metal door. And if you start and stop spraying this door in the middle of the door or anywhere in the door, you'll get a spit because you got an extension on the gun. And I get this question, how do you eliminate the spits? When you put an extension on the gun, you're going to get a spit no matter what. And I always like spraying with an extension on my gun no matter what. So, I always got one on so I'm going to get spits. So, if I run into a situation where there's going to be a spit, that's critical that you don't see um I don't I don't start and stop spraying in the middle of that smooth area or the area where you would see a spit. I'm going to show you how we spray this door without getting a spit on it. So, there's multiple reasons why I use an extension. In another video, I explain that. And I got another video that you can watch that explains what causes the spit. But in this video, we're just going to show you how you spray this door without getting a spit
