The impressive example provided here is exactly what we had in mind, and we are grateful to Kirk Williams in Madison, Indiana, for sharing photographs of his outstanding work with us and our readers.

Tech Tip - Protect Your Paint Sprayer

The following simple, yet important steps can help protect your airless paint sprayer and enchance your effectiveness on the job.

• Filter sealer through a paint bag or other strainer prior to application to remove debris and keep foreign matter out of the pump.
• When spraying outdoors, keep the bucket covered to prevent airborne particles from entering the bucket.
• Always clean the sprayer when finished, especially if the sprayer will not be used for a while or even overnight.
• Make sure no water or any other fluids are left in the sprayer after cleaning.
• Inspect and tighten the wet cup sufficiently to prevent leaking.
• Be careful not to leave paint in the sprayer overnight.
• Always store the sprayer with mineral spirits or oil in the pump system.
