this Krissy Idaho painter here on home
improvement tattoos today we're going to
show you how we go about staining a
fence and controlling overspray you get
a lot of questions how we control
overspray and keeping it off the
neighbors houses and the neighbors
plants so we're going to show you that
process we got an airless sprayer setup
you're gonna run the pressure really low
we're gonna be spraying a solid color
stain and back brushing it we're gonna
be using some simple tools like a
cardboard craft a cardboard shield
photos are made by craft do hold a
cardboard shield over the top to control
overspray we're using it at the bottom
we're also gonna be spraying with a
30-inch gun extension of 515 tip always
want to use a really new tip to help
control overspray so we're going to show
you some little tips and tricks and
we're gonna show them to you right now
so stay tuned so one of the most
important tools when it comes to
controlling overspray when spraying
offence is this tool right here this is
a craft cardboard shield holder and
these are cardboard shields that we've
just purchased to go along with this
tool very important tool you can find
this thing on my tool store it's a
number one selling item I have on my
tool store right here and what we do
with this thing I like it cuz it easily
adjust without any tools without any
wing nuts or anything so just moves
easily I'm gonna be using it right here
then this is going to control the
overspray from going on the other side
of the fence there and then we also use
it down on the ground to keep the
overspray for getting on the dirt rocks
or grass so you got to have this tool
here's a couple more tips when it comes
to controlling it overspray doing the
fence we always use a hand master to
mask wherever the fence will butt up to
a house or anything else that we don't
want to get overspray on we use a lot of
used cardboard shields you just lay
along the ground or lay low it rocks or
concrete to control the overspray and
here's another really good tip and this
is using the titan high offensive high
efficiency airless tips and these things
will run down to a thousand psi so
they're gonna run at way lower pressures
which will give you way less overspray
okay now that we showed you some of the
tools that we use to help control
overspray we've got everything set up
over here we're gonna be staying in this
fence now we're going to show you the
staining and back brushing process we
spray it on with an airless sprayer so
we can get it on fast and we can stain
these fences fast but then we back brush
so our stains gonna look like a
professional dinner and it's gonna last
a long time so let's head on down here
and see what John's doing and help him
out so we're gonna keep working on these
fence panels and so I'm gonna show you
how I guard everything with my cardboard
shield I'll go around the bottom real
quick and I'll shield it as close as I
can a little bits gonna get on the dirt
and a little bits okay we just don't
want to make a big mess with that I mean
it's all gonna go away with the next
rinse of the sprinklers or rain up top
what we're gonna do is we're gonna take
the shield we're gonna stick it behind
but you don't want to touch the backside
of the the fence with the cardboard
shield or you're gonna get all the stain
that's on there on the back of your
fence so you just hold it about an inch
or two away and try to keep it steady as
you move across so here we go always
wear your respirator
it's really important if you go against
the grain while you're working on a
fence like this we got to do this you
didn't up stain on those boards but you
got to make sure if you're gonna do that
that you backed rocks right behind it so
you don't have lap marks sort of built
up going the other way you'll end up
seeing those after it all dry
so I see John you're like stain and
really close to this fence over here or
I'm not the fence I'm this shed this is
a storage shed I mean that's probably
only what two feet away are you
concerned about getting overspray on
that no I you know it's our pressure
especially with this Titan HEA tip
that's down really low so we've already
got way less pressure than we even
normally have and way less overspray
than we normally have but that that
overspray isn't going to float back and
hit that shop unless you've got a tip
that's just massive and blown out and
you're putting out way more product than
you need to put out you choose the right
tip size and keep things at the right
pressure you're gonna you're gonna get a
greater transfer rate you're going to
get less bounce off and and coming back
and hit in that shed or whatever else
you're trying to protect

but Jonathan tieu you're using one of
those tightened high-efficiency airless
tips aren't you so I'm so far I
definitely I can see from the video not
as much overspray what do you think way
way way less overspray so I think Titan
says up to 50% more I think it's even
more than that
so usually I wouldn't use as big of a
tip light as this this is a 517 usually
use a 515 and try to have less this
still has I guess about 60% less
overspray than a grey coat 515 would
these I can see a back brush in there
why don't you tell us what the
importance of back question is in your
own opinion so it looks better and last
longer look like Popeye huge so there
you have it how to control overspray and
stain offense hopefully you've enjoyed
