Super simple to understand. As a non-English native speaker, it's hard to understand some times. But Leah, explain so perfectly clear, that I understood everything she said. I am not constructor, and I am on my way to learn how to do things now that I bought my house. Thank you Leah. I loved to find you

I love watching your videos. Every time I look for how to do something and I find that you'll teach me I stop searching and I listen. Thank you for taking the time to teach us.

[@diannadearborn1117]

Hi Leah. Thought I'd add a tip about masking, say, windows... put a course of tape on the glass around the window up against the trim first because it is easier to make a finer straight edge with tape than wrestling with the paper, itself, to make it fit the edges of the glass. Then fold an lay the paper so that it covers the area inside the tape. Taping around the masking paper, make sure half of the tape covers the edge course of tape and half over the paper. Cleanup is a breeze and you don't have to touch up raggedy spots... but it does use more masking tape. The finished job looks much cleaner.

[@seejanedrill]

Thanks for sharing your personal exp.

[@ripntearslayer9101]

A couple tips: 1. You seem to be getting some heavy tails at full pressure. I would suggest thinning the paint. If it's latex then you just add water. Look at your paint's technical specification sheet to see how much you can (you can find that at the same place you got your paint or also online in most cases) 2. The numbers on the tip 515 for example; the first number in a 3-digit or the first 2 numbers in a 4-digit refer to how wide the fan is at a certain distance while the last 2 digits refer to how much fluid is getting thru the tip (match these numbers to the ones given on the tech spec sheet)

[@juanitalharper1487]

Hi Leah - Whenever I am thinking of a home project I first check your videos! I recently was looking for two things. One was the airless paint sprayer - excellent information. The second was not there, how to measure a room for tile. How to lay the tile out, but not how to measure it. I found the information, but the truth is I trust you more than others, you make everything seem so simple. Once I start looking at one video I can't stop watching at least five more of your DIY videos. You are dangerous for me, as I want to do everything you show lol. Thank you so very much for all your how-to videos, your patience in teaching, and no extra chitchat.

Well Leah I want to congratulate you on your achievement of all those viewers! I am a fairly new subscriber and I can not tell you how much I appreciate the time you give in explaining in layman language what you are doing, why you are doing it and what would be a good idea not to do. You are my hands on buddy I have always needed! I have stopped myself from trying to do so many repairs for fear I would mess it up and then it would cost double to make it right again! Your encouragement and detailed step by step instructions really help over coming the fear of tackling any project! I just remember your slogan “You can do it!” And I’ll be darn I CAN DO IT!!!!

[@CrankyPantss]

That was very helpful. It's nice to have an explanation of what the different parts to the tool are and do and then see them in action. Sometimes the print is vague and pretty small for these old eyes. I always appreciate your videos. I hope you've been well.

[@drewcama5481]

Lots of comments in praise and a good beginning spray video. As a paint sprayer there are some basics to consider: #1 Depending on how windy it is out side you may not want to spray and have the wind blow paint on your neighbors car or windows. #2 Spraying interior you have to cover everything the paint floats in the air and falls down on your carpet pr furniture. #3 You will use 50 % more paint. #4 Clean up isn't a big hassle ,but you must clean your gun and hose line thoroughly.and that waste water needs to be collected with a bucket or down the drain of a work sink. You cant just run water through the line and let it drain on the street or your drive way with out leaving a big paint stain behind. So A 5 gallon bucket not that little Tupperware dish is needed. Though you can use it for priming and dump that paint back in the original can. #5 Technique: move your hand/arm in the spray direction before you pull the trigger. and keep it moving as you let go of the trigger. If you stop just for a 1/2 second you will have over spray and runs. a light small roller is good to role off the over spray then a light spray on top of the cleaned up over spray will cover up the mistake and correction. #6 Safety: Spraying inside or out side you will want safety glasses and a mask for sure when spraying interior. And gloves to keep your hands clean.

[@SuperJohnfoster]

Always check the tip is straight and in proper placement before you pull trigger. Sometimes you will put gun down and it will get turned sideways. Then if you pull trigger it will shoot back at your face. I paint for a living and it's happened lots of times.

I'm currently in the process of painting my house and that's almost the exact same color! My Wagner is an old one that requires you to thin the paint with lubricant (Floetrol) until it runs timely through a viscosity funnel. It's such a chore getting it right and cleaning up the mess that I've elected to use a brush. I'd buy a new gun but, unfortunately, funds are limited. Thanks for the very informative video! Like all of your videos, it was very enjoyable! 👍👍

[@KaliBlaz]

Great video, just wanted to add that if you want to paint up and down instead of side to side you will need to turn your sprayer guard vertical, also the numbers on your airless sprayer correspond to the pressure required by the paint manufacturer, so number 5 for example = 5000psi of pressure, also the tip number 515 mean how wide your fan is and how much material you will be spraying. Take the first number and double its value so a 515 tip will spray a 10 inch fan at 12" distance, the last 2 digits mean the hole size of your tip, in other words the amount of paint being allowed out of the sprayer, 15 in 515 mean you have 0.15 orifice. when you purchase paint, ask for this info. use only the appropriate tip size and pressure for the paint/primer or anything else you are buying.

[@RichDasix]

Hi Everyone, I used a Wagner Pro Painter Extra for the first time yesterday, to paint the interior walls and ceilings of our new home. After finding the perfect amount of pressure to the paint we choose it was a piece of cake. Before the 4 of us friends and relatives rolled 2 bedrooms and a living room in a day or so, now with the machine I borrowed... 6 hours the whole house was painted! And with 30-50% overlapping it only took one coat to cover perfectly, the plastec was already finishing plaster so it helped a lot, I'm absolutely over the moon with the finish. I tried the backrolling technique but it turned out way worse than I thought, so I just sprayed the whole house. It was primered nicely beforehand, so I don't think it'll be an issue. The biggest tip to anyone, is to make sure you trial and error on a big piece of paper or cardboard, read your choosen paints technical datasheet, it gives you all the info needed to spray with an airless system (thinning, pressure etc) and find the right pressure, distance and practice the movement before starting. It'll turn out fantastic!

Jane's instructions for using the sprayer are top notch, but seriously, don't tape your glass and fittings as poorly as this. Whatever time you save in using the sprayer will be used scraping and touching up the windows. Take the time to cut your paper, tape ONLY on the glass, and tape your handles and fittings. DON'T paint metal hardware, ever! All you are doing is turning your brand new paint job into a tacky mess a few months down the road. It's an annoying, time consuming process, but it will improve the look of your finished job exponentially.
