What happens here
The presenter explains the difference between a standard whip hose (which he created to his own specifications) and a pencil whip. A standard whip hose is typically 3 to 5 feet long, made of a softer, more flexible material than a metal-braided hose, and has a smaller diameter. This flexibility prevents fighting the hose, reducing fatigue. A pencil whip is an even smaller diameter hose suitable for lighter coatings, while standard paints require larger diameters. He also details the ideal pressure settings for the interfed roller: about 500 PSI at the roller head, playing around with settings to find the right feel. Too much pressure will cause spitting and a messy application.
Goal: Understand different whip hose types and optimal pressure settings for the interfed roller.
