What happens here

Begin by holding the spray gun in one hand. Start forming loops with the hose. As you do this, pay attention to the natural tendency of the hose to twist. Actively flip the hose in your hands when you feel it wanting to turn in a certain direction. Continue this flipping and looping motion until the entire hose is wound up. This method results in a tightly coiled hose, but it will require manual flipping and twisting to properly unwind it later without kinks.

Goal: Hold the spray gun end of the hose and begin making loops, actively flipping the hose in your hands as you feel its natural tendency to twist. This method allows the hose to wind up correctly but requires manual adjustment during unwinding.
