Wagner W100 Spray Gun: Top Tip for Faster, More Efficient Spraying

[@EM-fh2tx]

I bought one of these (I have the 150) when I saw yr last video on this very sprayer! You can buy 800ml containers with lids also. I fill up a few of them in advance & then swap the nozzle over to the next container. Leaving all the wash up to the end. Another tip, if you need to take a break is to get a fairly damp cloth, doubled up a few times & wrap the nozzle in that and cover it in tin foil. The tin foil squishes around the shape nicely. I had a big job painting furniture & this worked out very handy over 4 weeks; not a splutter!

Brilliant, thanks for the tip😀👍

Just sprayed my workshop shop today took a lot longer and the started to throw it down. Another great video especially when decided to have a sit down. 😂😂😂

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Just seen the pics on Instagram pal, looking great. We just about managed to avoid the bad weather today thankfully so made this job a lot easier 👍👍

Brilliant Leo !

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Cheers Ken 😀😀👍👍👍

[@projectrebuild908]

Timely video Leo, as I'm looking at my fence and workshop thinking I should give them a lick of paint.

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Big job broke out the other day Paul and I’ve been painting and spraying ever since 😂😂😂

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍Thanks Leo.

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Cheers Pete 👍👍👍😀😀😀

Thanks for the vid - I've just bought one through your link as I'm looking at 9 new fence panels I've promised my better half I will paint this bank hol. Plus I have a shed to sort soon. PS - hope your are enjoying your bandsaw too - that was a great vid on the blade change you did. Cheers from my private account - Nick (Laguna)

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Nice one, cheers Nick for the comment. Yes the bandsaw is just phenomenal, everything I wanted and even more! Good luck with your spraying adventures, it’s actually quite enjoyable when you get going 😀😀👍👍

[@garygillespie4188]

Hi Leo, hope you’re keeping well mate, there not bad sprayers, they are okay for outdoors for getting a good coverage, had a ronsesl one few years back, I have Wagner airless sprayer holds about 5.5litres used for few rooms last year wasn’t good, prefer me old school brush and roller!!😂

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Couldn’t agree more Gary. For fence panels / cladding / outdoor furniture they are ideal. Too much overspray for internal jobs. By the time you’ve covered and taped up everywhere not getting sprayed, you could have had two coats on with a brush and roller 🤷‍♂️😂👍

[@barry.w.christie]

I was wondering when you were going to finish the rest of the cladding when you did your painting of the windows video ... looks like a nice job and done quickly and easily. With regards comment below about size of container, the bigger the container the more it weighs when full, the more tiring it is to hold and spray with ... is probably the reason why.

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Thanks Barry and you’re absolutely right, when you can’t switch between hands the weight of whatever you’re using becomes a big issue. Thankfully with the container I have on this, it is just about ok and not too forward heavy 👍👍

[@paulwalton692]

Easy to spray water :)

[@Hand-i-Craft]

😀😀

[@michaelblackmore883]

Great tip Leo. No masking I noted, can you just wipe over the windows and door afterwards. Mike PS I bought the bigger HPLV one last year after watching Raff painting his Italian house with one . It does have the advantage that it takes the paint directly from the tin so you can use 5 L in one go. I am intending to use if to paint some walls and rendered planters and a old concrete chimney barbecue in the garden but I haven't got around to doing it yet.

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Cheers Mike and yes just a cloth over the windows and doors with a spray of mild detergent does the trick fine. At some point I guess I will upgrade my spray gun but for now this works fine 😀😀👍👍

[@JoB-xb5cj]

I have the same model and think it is great but my needs are for less capacity so I bought the gravity feed accessory pack. I may never touch a paint brush again.

[@Hand-i-Craft]

😀😀👍👍

[@Pistol_Knight]

Never understood why they have such a small reservoir for liquids, I bought a £30 amazon HVLP but it came with 2 pots, so impressed with spraying a bought a Wagner Pro 250

[@Hand-i-Craft]

It is a bit daft pal, I’ll probably upgrade at some point but for now this method works great 😀😀👍👍

[@janetevans2711]

I have been using the same sprayer and they're heavy when full

[@Sjt_30]

Hello great demo, I sprayed my shed today with Ronseal one coat! First time using this sprayer could you advise on the correct setting for the trigger as I was getting mixed results with the spray. Thanks

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Hello pal, if I was you I’d start on the lower setting. That way you can always increase the power if needed. If you start the other way you could end up with overspray which you don’t want. Hope that helps a little 👍👍

[@Sjt_30]

Hi mate, thanks for the quick reply I'll certainly try that and see how I get on much appreciated 👍

[@ProjeKtWEREWOLF]

I had my first go but with the Bartoline wood preservative. It's almost water thin and is a right swine to regulate through the nozzle.

[@MartinaMclean-lh9pv]

Hi..Can you tell me if this is OK for cuprinol garden shades paint?

[@Hand-i-Craft]

I’ve never used it with that product but providing the paint isn’t too thick it should be fine. You might need to thin the paint down slightly by adding some water and mixing throughly

[@jimg69]

Have you had any problem with nozzle breaking, seems to be a comman fault with the w100, when it does its useless.

[@Hand-i-Craft]

I think part of the problem with the nozzle is folk not cleaning it through properly once finished then poking and prodding it to clear out dried product when they go to use it again. I’ve bought a couple of extra nozzles with additional containers for when i use water based and oil based products 👍👍

[@frankblack1481]

If you have a helper, any time not spent filling up the container might be worth back-rolling the stain so it’s not just sitting on the Timbers.

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Great point Frank. I think in this case the cladding was so ‘thirsty’ it soaked it up in no time. I never treated them when I first put them on as they were too wet, glad I let them dry out first 😀😀👍👍

[@sumosprojects]

Good to see you persevering on KZbin mate, bit of a train wreck for most makers but carry on fella

[@Hand-i-Craft]

Thanks Sumo, things do seem to be a little slow but I’ll keep plodding along 😀👍

[@RpR_Makes]

Leo may I ask if it was Osmo uv protection you spayed through the Wagner?

[@Hand-i-Craft]

No mate, something called Alphachem clear I bought from my local timber merchants. I only used the Osmo UV oil on the front and I’ll be moving on from that as it failed again so will have to sand it back and start again with something else

[@RpR_Makes]

@@Hand-i-Craft agreed my workshop is in Osmo and I am disappointed, needs to be done each year at £140 for two tins. Will look to switch to something better next time.

[@derekgranger8228]

If it can't be sprayed,it doesn't need painting

[@Hand-i-Craft]

What a great phrase pal 😀😀👍👍

[@derekgranger8228]

@@Hand-i-Craft in my day job I have 90 over size doors most over 200 years old to repair and repaint all with a brush and I'm only 6 in at the moment, as well as all the other maintenance jobs I have to do. I hate painting

[@SpeedFreak62]

You're talking about wasted time filling the container?....with a work job like this you need time, it's about maybe 5 minutes. with 2 containers you also need a 2nd man/woman.

[@Hand-i-Craft]

I said both of those things in the video 👍
