What happens here

Begin the masking process by applying 9-inch paper around the edges of the fireplace, securing it with 1-inch tape using a 3M Hand Masker. This is crucial if you are using an airless sprayer to prevent overspray on surrounding walls or ceilings. Also, mask around the carpet or hearth at the bottom of the fireplace to protect it from stain. Cover any furniture in the room with plastic drop cloths to prevent accidental paint splatters.

Goal: Thoroughly protect surrounding areas from paint, especially when using a sprayer.

So, we got our fireplace. It's all masked off now. We've got our air sprayer right down here. It's all loaded up with our stain right now, our solid color stain. And we're just using that to make this process a lot faster just to spray it on. Once again, you could just brush and roll the whole thing, but using some form of sprayer is just going to make it a lot faster. I've just got my sprayer right here with a short extension on it. got a little 208 tip, um, fine finish tip. That way we don't create a lot of dust or overspray. And I've got it set at a really low low pressure, so I'm not creating a lot of dust and overspray either. So, we're just going to begin spraying this. There's two of us here.
