When to Back Roll and Why? Staining with an Airless Sprayer.

What happens here

Before beginning to spray the entire shed, the presenter improvises a cardboard shield from a box and attaches it to an extension pole using masking tape. This shield is essential for controlling overspray, especially when working near edges or areas not intended for staining. The improvised shield allows for precise application while keeping the surrounding areas clean.

Goal: Create a tool to control overspray during spraying.

Tools and materials

  • Cardboard Box — Creating the shield itself
  • Extension Pole — Holding the cardboard shield
  • Masking Tape — Attaching the cardboard to the extension pole
  • Utility Knife — Cutting the cardboard
