What happens here

An initial issue encountered was excessive paint dripping from the tips. The team discovered that running the sprayer at 1900 PSI (which is suitable for a single tip) was insufficient for the dual-head setup. By increasing the pressure to approximately 2400 PSI, they were able to clear the 'spits' and almost completely eliminate the dripping, although it wasn't 100% perfect. They caution that attention is still needed, especially when working over concrete, suggesting the use of drop cloths.

Goal: The team initially encountered paint dripping from the extension but resolved it by increasing the spray pressure from 1900 PSI to 2400 PSI.

basically you got two heads maybe a little bit more aluminum right here we did run into an issue with it um dripping a lot of paint in the beginning we're running it at what psi we were running at 1900 psi which was fine for one tip but with two tips we bumped that up to about 2400 psi and that helps clear those spits out so they don't just hang on the tip guard it looks like it's almost completely eliminated it um not 100 so i do see that that might be um one of the things that keeps it from being maybe a five star tool but we're going to keep testing it out i mean i'd like to not see that drip at all because with a 30 inch extension you don't get that build up and drip at all so you're gonna have to be careful on concrete just um use drop cloths you know but i think we're getting it to the point where it's almost eliminated but not a hundred percent right so there you go it's gonna uh increase the time you know uh or decrease the time it's gonna take to paint a house can you run because we did we ran a live facebook show we got some questions can you run two different
