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

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Connect the airless sprayer to the intake tube and prime the system. The presenter initially uses a 515 high-production Titan tip, noting its smaller size. He tests the spray pattern on the shed wall to assess coverage and pressure. After the test, he opts to switch to a larger 619 tip to allow for more product output, which is better suited for back-brushing porous, dry wood. He also mentions he will run the sprayer at lower pressure (around 1000 PSI) to minimize overspray, as the goal is not a fine finish but good penetration for back-brushing.

Goal: Optimize sprayer settings and tip size for effective stain application on porous wood.

Tools and materials

  • Airless Spray Tip — Initial test of spray pattern
  • Airless Sprayer — Applying the stain
  • Bucket of Clean Water N/A — Cleaning the stir whip and tips
  • Respirator 3M — Protecting respiratory system from airborne particles

be using today just this premiere block stainer right here to do my back brushing and one of the keys about this back brushing you don't you don't want to wait long you want to get onto the back brushing wall it's really saturated and wet still you don't want it to start to dry out so this back brushing process is extremely extremely important i'm going to be using a respirator i'm just getting this thing set up here i think i want this is really really dry extremely porous i think this tip is probably a little bit small so i'm going to grab a heavier tip so i'm going to see what a tip selection i brought with me up here i got a tip saver in here that i store my tips in it's a great little device with storing tips i've got um i have a 619 and that's what i'm thinking i want to use here so we're going to get our 619 put that on there because i just want i'm going to turn the pressure down lower but put out more product and then i also like to have a bucket of stain to keep my brush in that i can use um if we're where i have areas that don't um need to be sprayed or you don't want to spray so you can just hook this thing on to your bucket so just wait for it to stop dripping just snap it back quickly wipe off the edge i'm good to go now i got a bucket of stain that i can work with also i'm going to switch this tip out drop my pressure my pressure is around a thousand psi which is actually not bad an ate tip will give you a nice feathered edge too so feathered edge is a little bit better than a sharper edge that looks way better than that high production tip so now i've got a nice feathered edge here i've got a lot more product coming out to back brush that's looking pretty good that's exactly what i want to see that's looking pretty nice now i want to make sure i'm spraying i've got a back brush in between all these laps and then back brush the face too i've got one more thing because what i would typically do is shield this top and bottom with a cardboard shield so i forgot that one of the most important tools that every painter should have when it comes to spraying and that is a cardboard shield holder so we're going to make one sometimes you just got to do what you got to do but this will make the spraying process a lot easier so i'm going to cut off seal and make it right about here luckily this is a small shed so i don't need very much i got a small extension pole with me these little flaps right here i want these guys
