Spraying Level 5 Graco Mark IV part 1

[@BabyyJayy1219]

Be one of the few drywall channels that actually give an in depth review of the level 5 sprayers

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Will do wanted to wait till we sand to shoot some after footage and break down the set up and clean up and first impressions.

[@omarzepeda7475]

You should use USG Gypsum tuff hide it’s faster and it’s less sanding than normal compound! Nice work memo.

[@IM808HI]

Nice to see others doing this. My dad has been doing this on Maui for awhile. That machine can handle big jobs. The only thing is they spray with green mud here.

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Awesome dies it shrik less ? Also what tip does he like to use.

[@charlesmichael1927]

That 629 is probably putting more out than you need. Get your wide skimming knives out and get someone coming behind you sluckung it off. It will save you time on the sanding

[@edover50]

Really good video thanks Memo! Still amazed at how much texture you folks do. In my region it’s all level 5. Only places that have texture are hotel chains.

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Haha thanks Ed here it's backwards only commercial jobs are smooth majority of residential is texture.

[@kyleclemente5939]

Dope AF. I can't wait for my Mark for 2021!!

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Sick dude will see how it sands on Friday.

[@gregmaffei4820]

Many ways to skin a cat, I love it. Nice work.

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Yup that's the beauty of Drywall 🤙🏽

[@nobleuro]

Another helpful video . Keep them coming

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Awesome thanks for the support.🤙🏽

[@kyleclemente5939]

Use a columbia Tomahawk blade set to wipe behind you're sprayer with 3' 4' & 5' blades. Designed for this application, game changers. You probably already have a set though.

[@nut2bad]

Totally best way for glass finished look

[@hotelrenovators9301]

Looking good!

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Thanks bro

[@C.O.920]

This upload was helpful, thank you.

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Awesome glad I could help

[@brantlywebber749]

Need that angle head spray pole my dude

[@wildacresconstruction8889]

Just ordered one last week 😎 thanks for the info

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Awesome man I let you know how it sands.

[@artisticdrywall7368]

Nice my only thoughts with this good method is that another step is needed to sand maybe minor touch up ⬆️. I found what works for me is level 4 finish then spray a high build primer with 619 hea tip and back roll with 18inch 3/8 nap. But we are not doing big jobs like you guys are it works for us on are little jobs

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Awesome ya I going to see how fast the Mirka can knock down the spray pattern since we didn't wipe behind. This jobs going to be the sample.

[@artisticdrywall7368]

Test run 🏃‍♂️

[@aguil829]

Thanks for the content!

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Awesome brother.

[@nut2bad]

Use bigger tip like 35 size

[@oleksandrmarchuk]

Looking good

[@josephspanjer6955]

How many gallons of Mudd can this rig handle before repacking the pump

[@toponemarketing]

Hi is it possible to put the gun from the Graco Mark skim coating machine on the Graco r-tx machine?

[@charlesmichael1927]

Your are learning my brother. You will throw your knives away when you realize what u can do with that sprayer. You still need knives but your getting ready to make some money. I finish all my jobs with my sprayer.

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Thanks awesome man 🤙🏽

[@raulzamora8928]

Hi. By any chance do you have a chanel on your knowhow. Thanks.

[@tanigonzalez5387]

Exelente memo

[@scoopytheclown]

How much are you thinning you mud? say 5 gallon to (how many oz. of water?), or how much water to a box of mud? Thanks!!!

[@csdrywallhawaii]

I give a break down in part 2 link above

[@oleksandrmarchuk]

You use blue tip not brown can you explain please I was thinking blue more for paint? What consistency drywall?

[@csdrywallhawaii]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXqnmaawiLZombs Here I talk about the filter the tip is the one that came with the rig haven't swapped it out.

[@reddbeard2030]

I hear that Kilz is not a friendly material to paint sprayers. Do use Kilz primer and if so what do you apply it with, what's your method? Great work!🤙

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Thanks brother I spayed mud were not going to use this rig for anything but joint compound. It's the alternative to hand wiping the skim coat for level 5 see how it turns out..

[@reddbeard2030]

@@csdrywallhawaii How are you fairing with those floods

[@edgarramos9880]

What mud is better for spray level 5?

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Plus 3 sheetrock

[@danjenlilyful]

what do u think about the mark 4/5 for texture? the graco video looked terrible and patchy but it's hard to see and of course the rep spraying isnt in the feild like us .... let me know bro and what texture sprayer model u would buy again! Im desperately needing to upgrade from my rtx1000 and i can't decide!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you do work as good as mine and I value your opinion!

[@csdrywallhawaii]

I reply to the comment on the other video.... I would recommend using the Mark 5 for texture you need to haul around a separate air source.(compresor) to much stuff to carry.

[@danjenlilyful]

@@csdrywallhawaii exactly....

[@charlesmichael1927]

That long exstention is not helping you, its hurting you. Just go to a 12 inch and use a ladder. Instead of going vertical go horizontal. Use a ladder as you go higher.

[@sal235656]

Que maquina estas usando

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Esta en el titulo el Graco Mark IV

[@Mr1rockinrocker]

Would this spray thick enough to shoot over knockdown in place of skim coat?

[@csdrywallhawaii]

No unfortunately would still have to hand skim in that type of senerio

[@jonathangiraldo2148]

Did this look good after sanding? I’ve always wanted to try this put

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Uploading part to to give everyone the full break down.

[@monstertrucktennis]

Have you thought of following that up with a surfacer that levels out?

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Going to see how it sands great suggestion.

[@monstertrucktennis]

@@csdrywallhawaii surfacer levels and primes in one step. There is a learning curve though.

[@dwankers]

You don't knife off thr excess?

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Some times we started wiping off the final coat but the first one doesn't get wiped or sanded.

[@brokekid4486]

I would love to know were To buy this I really want one

[@remodelingbytobar108]

Sherwing Williams store 🏬 contractors

[@marcosvera6000]

Did you find any difference in power with the mark v

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Yes the Mark 5 is a bit more powerful.

[@chocolatepuddingpant]

have u ever used a mark V, and if so how do u compare it to a mark iv?

[@csdrywallhawaii]

The 5 has more power and can pump high volumes of hard material.

[@CESARvsTHEWORLD]

Dang..!

[@ELQUITO12]

can ypu spray orange peel with this?

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Yes but need a separate stand alone compressor

[@louisgholland709]

What kind of mudd and how thin.

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Uploading part 2 breaking ot down.

[@MisterVargas]

Was the clean-out easy on the Mark IV?

[@csdrywallhawaii]

Pretty quick just got the purge the pump with water then add pump armor. The rig stays fairly clean since the hose is so long.

[@its_mr_clutch]

So you're spraying mud on the wall?

[@allthewayinu]

That's my question haha

[@allthewayinu]

Yup that's mud

[@charlesmichael1927]

What size tip are u using, i use a 525

[@csdrywallhawaii]

IDK It's the one it came with already just picked up some new ones to try out.

[@charlesmichael1927]

619 will work but 525 has been the best ive found. Anything smaller wont work.

[@kyleclemente5939]

1000% faster.
