Day two of fence painting. Nothing much to say on that but I thought I’d add to my post of yesterday about the fence and decking sprayer.
I briefly mentioned the spray will cover the panel but not push the paint into the wood.
Let me explain, my first pictures shows the finish after a spray the second picture the depth of cover using a brush to push the paint into the panel.
I tend to use the spray to get into the nook and crannies. But I wouldn’t rely on a good finish by spraying alone.
Oh and this may sound obvious but some tips:
1. Cover everything you don’t want the spray to spread to. You’ll be surprised
How far the fine spray will travel
2. Check the wind direction
3. Use a face mask and googles. Trust me it will say you being very uncomfortable from the spray back and all the nasty issues of breathing in etc.
4. Get yourself a funnel and decanting container to place the paint into the spray pot
Hope this helps and if there’s anyone with further advice let’s share for all the DiYers to benefit.
Enjoy the lovely weather. 👊😓🙏
