What happens here

Once the first 'fog coat' has thoroughly dried, proceed with applying the final coat. In the demonstration, this is shown in a second room, emphasizing that the first room's coat has already dried. Position yourself to spray the ceiling with the spray pattern perpendicular to the room's main entrance. This helps to minimize visible spray lines. Apply the final coat at a slower pace than the fog coat, ensuring a 50% overlap with each pass to achieve complete and uniform coverage. Maintain a continuous walking path to avoid stopping and starting, which can create shiny 'holiday' marks on the finished ceiling.

Goal: Apply a uniform, full-coverage final coat to the ceiling to achieve the desired finish.

What they say

Hide

be pulling off the masking. So, we're in um another room in the house. This is This room's already dry. We're going to be putting on the final coat in this room. And um the room the entrance to the room is right here. And I want my uh spray pattern actually be perpendicular to the entrance of the room. So, I'm actually going to be walking this way. When you're spraying your ceilings, make sure your floor is um there's nothing in your way so you can walk back and forth because you don't want stop and stop marks stop start and stop marks in your ceiling cuz they're what we call holidays and you'll be able to eventually see them. They'll be a little bit shinier than the rest of the ceiling. So, you want to be able to walk from end to end when you're actually spraying the ceilings. And um we'll show you what that looks like on this final coat right here. The final coat is going to be a lot slower than the uh initial fog coat and it's going to be overlap 50%.
