Understand Overspray Hazards

What happens here

The video begins by explicitly demonstrating and discussing the significant potential for overspray when using a spray gun, even when applying the finish at a close distance. The speaker highlights that fine particles of stain or paint can become airborne and be carried by the wind for considerable distances, potentially hundreds of yards. This emphasizes the critical need to assess wind conditions and plan for comprehensive precautions to protect surrounding areas, including adjacent properties, landscaping, vehicles, and any other surfaces not intended for painting, before commencing work.

Goal: Recognize and prepare for overspray before starting the project.
