What happens here

The presenter cleans the interfed roller cover and puts on a fresh one. He discusses the specific problem with lint from new roller covers, suggesting it's due to the manufacturing process. He recommends 'de-linting' new rollers, either by hand or by spinning them to remove loose fibers, to prevent lint from adhering to the freshly painted walls. He also reiterates the importance of using a sprayer with 'zero dead-banding' (consistent pressure) to avoid an hourglass effect in the spray pattern, especially crucial for trim work requiring a high-quality, glass-like finish. The Titan 3000 Elite features this constant pressure delivery.

Goal: Understand proper roller preparation and advanced sprayer features for a flawless finish.

lints all over the wall they're gonna dry on there and then you're gonna have to sand them off so [Music] so i got my roller outside or not my roller but my titan 3000 elite outside just so i can talk and video the same time because it actually runs all the time it never stops like um like most sprayers will stop but that whole starting the process when you squeeze the trigger it's not critical here but if you're spraying some trim or something that has to have a high quality finish and a finish that is glass-like automobile-like the titan 3000 elite has zero dead banding and if you don't know what dead banding is when you pull the trigger trigger you're going to lose pressure you know um momentarily and it's going to cause an hour glassing effect with your sprayer so um in your spray pattern so uh by the pump always running or the motor always running you're always gonna have the same pressure coming out of the gun when you pull the trigger um and when you release the trigger or right in the middle of spraying and holding down the trigger
