What happens here

During the initial testing phase, the dual-head extension caused paint to drip, particularly when operating at 1900 PSI. To mitigate this, the pressure was increased to approximately 2400 PSI. This adjustment successfully cleared the 'spits' and significantly reduced or almost eliminated the dripping issue. The presenter noted that while it improved drastically, it wasn't 100% eliminated, suggesting some vigilance is still required, especially when working over sensitive surfaces like concrete.

Goal: An initial issue with paint dripping was resolved by increasing the sprayer's PSI from 1900 to 2400, effectively clearing the 'spits' and improving spray consistency.

feel um really any weight difference i just feel a little bit slight difference of weight on the gun itself versus a 30 inch extension very slight because 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
