We used to order it in the 55 gallon drums at my old shop.

Pump some in to a SureShot container, pressurize it with the air chuck and you're good to go!

Pretty standard tools if you do a lot of painting. I bought one of these guys when I had to repaint a couple house interiors. There's more work in the setup (taping off, preventing overspray), but man...once you get going it's damn fast.

She's outside, not worried about overspray, and can go really quick.

  • keep your car tires properly inflated
  • use a wand to blow out your computer
  • use a wand to clean out the filters from your vacuum cleaners
  • get a simple spray kit and use it to apply paint, or other finishes rather than buying cans of spray paint, etc.
  • air nailers are great if you are doing any sort of wood working, or interior trim installation.

I fought with several sprayers, and kept paying more and more with no luck. Then bought this cheap piece o' crap to spray some stain on a fence (figure it'd be single us) - and it's amazing. Love using it, cheap, simple to use and clean. Most important, sprays great. https://www.amazon.com/HomeRight-C800766-C900076-Painting-Projects/dp/B003VKFDEO/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=paint+sprayer&qid=1572931296&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExVDRTQjUwOEVEQU0wJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjUxNDUwMzI2M0tIQU4yME5ORSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTU3MTQ1MVVKTTlQNjNDOURQNyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

A picture of the cabinets, inside and out would help greatly. I painted the cabinets in my house about 2 years ago and they are holding up great. I painted inside and out using the following method.


I used Zinsser's Bullseye 1-2-3 Primer, and Benjamin Moore Advanced Paint. The BM Advanced is a waterborne alkyd paint and dries hard as nails. It is modern paint designed to lay flat, and dry hard. If you take any advice, it's to use BM Advanced. It turns the finished product into a factory like finish. The Paint AND Primer were applied with a basic Wagner HVLP Sprayer. While under $100 this tool transformed my project and made painting the cabs cake. You can dial in flow and air volume with the sprayer. I had never used one before and learned very quickly. To prep, I cleaned with TSP and did a light sanding in areas that will see more wear and tear to give the paint/primer a little more bite. Do removed your doors, hardware and hinges. I replaced my old exposed hinges for Euro soft close Hinges by Blum at the same time.


Otherwise, letting them dry between coats is prob the hardest part since the sprayer really speeds things up. The BM Advanced did not need any sanding or anything between coats, its unbelievable how flat it lays / dries. BM Advanced does have a long open time! I let my finish cure, untouched, for around 1.5-2 weeks, but now load up my cabinets with plates, pots pans, sheet trays with no nicks or peeling paint what so ever. I am blown away at the results. In total, I'd say I did 3 coats of primer, and 3-4 coats of BM Advanced, applied over the duration of a week after work. Also, clean up is ALL water based, just literally run water thru the paint gun, done.

Edit: Photos Yo!

Edger pro is a BS product aimed at DIYers, aka suckers for a gadget. Learn to cut in properly with a paintbrush instead.

If you needed to cut in your wall color to white ceilings, you'd need a ladder.

But in this case, the ceiling and walls are the same color. You don't need a ladder. Just get a proper paintbrush holder; every pro has one in their kit. 10 bucks instead of a couple hundred.

There's a slight learning curve, figuring out the exact angle to set it at - the angle pictured in the first image is about right for most uses.

u/bulov · 7 pointsr/HomeImprovement

More about preparation. If you're truly going to replace the floors than don't even bother with drop cloths. All you'll really need to do sponge your walls down with a damp sponge and some TSP cleaner.

First thing first - take off all your electric faceplates, vent covers, light fixtures, everything. Don't think you can paint around them or over them. It will come out looking bad if you don't.

I'm not one to use painters tape. I find it takes longer and I'm often disappointed with the results.

Get 5 gallon buckets of primer and ceiling paint. It would probably be more efficient to do all the priming first, then all the ceilings, then the walls, then the trim, then the touch up. But you're probably less likely to burn out and it will be more rewarding taking it a room at a time.

First room you'll learn a lot of the tricks. So pick a room you're not going to be in often. Slap primer on your walls - go crazy. Hit the ceiling, it's no big deal. While that's drying roll on your ceilings. You can be a little reckless here too. Hit the walls with the roller, you'll clean those up later.

Now that the ceiling is done you should see if primer on walls is dried. If so then you can start painting your walls. I like to roll on first and then come back and cut in with a brush. A good brush for cutting in makes all the difference. http://www.amazon.com/Wooster-Brush-Q3211-2-Shortcut-Paintbrush/dp/B002YC06T2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463669852&sr=8-1&keywords=rubber+handle+paint+brush

Since you're painting everything anyways you should freshen up your trim work. Use the good brush to do that.

After everything dries you can go back in for touchups.

When I painted my entire house I would do 1 room a day. More than that and I started to burn out. By the time you're finished you'll be a pro and will see all your mistakes in the early rooms. But don't worry you'll be the only one that notices them, and you'll never feel like painting again. :)

u/sutty82buddy · 7 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Painting contractor here.

100% do this task yourself. Ive been on another thread talking about the Wagner sprayer with some very unhappy customers. I would advise against it. You will 100% want to spray your fence. Just labor alone you'll be so thankful you did. If you choose to brush and roll, assuming your fence is decent sized, it will be a long task and you'll be miserable 1/2 the way through.

My advice...2 options

  1. Rent a sprayer from Home Depot. Spray your fence with that big sprayer you rented in the late morning and be enjoying lemonade by late afternoon.
  2. Purchase a modest priced Graco sprayer. Graco is a leading industry brand. They make homeowner quality sprayers in the $200-$300 price range. These sprayers aren't designed to be used heavily, like by a contractor. General life span is 30-100 gallons depending on if you keep it cleaned and filled with pump solution between uses and how thick of products you are running through it. For many homeowners that is long enough to last them 5-20 years however. I'd recommend this one for a homeowner in the market for a sprayer.

    https://www.amazon.com/Graco-Magnum-262800-Airless-Sprayer/dp/B0026SR0FW/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=graco+paint+sprayer&qid=1572965700&sr=8-6

    Prior to any painting, look up Paint Life TV on Youtube. He is formerly known as "The Idaho Painter". This guy is the #1 painting channel on youtube and has 600+ videos. He has plenty of videos on spraying. Watch a few of his videos before you get started. How to prime the sprayer, how to clean after use. How to actually spray properly. Get a bit comfortable watching exactly what you're about to do before you get the sprayer in your yard that morning and things will run smooth for you.

    Hope this helps.

I have found that getting a spray can trigger makes a huge difference for me. It changes the angle at which I hold the can to something more natural for me and the trigger makes pressing the spray button smoother and more consistent.

Or you could buy one of these for half the price and use a 5 gallon bucket. Hell of a lot easier to clean than that thing is, and fewer moving (and plastic) parts to break

Meta-hobby! I've only been back into collecting for about 3 months. I have about 60 at the moment.

My washing method (3rd time I posted this today...I should probably just make it a post :) is as follows:

  • Tergi-Kleen: http://www.amazon.com/TergiKleen-Alcohol-free-Tergitol-based-Concentrate-Cleaning/dp/B019YI38Z2/
  • paint edger: http://www.amazon.com/Shur-Line-500-Premium-Paint-Edger/dp/B0001MQI9E/
  • some large pans (I ended up getting some oil change pans for $2.50 each from WalMart)
  • rubber pads (large rubber washers work great, as would small squares of rubber)
  • distilled water
  • lint free towels

    The technique:

    Pan 1 has the water, tergikleen (just a few drops) and rubber washers. Pan 2 has clean water for rinsing

    I fill pan 1 just deep enough to cover the rubber pads and the top of a record when placed in.

    I then place in a record, submerge it, then take the paint pad and do a few laps in one direction, then a few in the other. The rubber pads allow you to wash the record right in the pan without hurting the underside of the record. It also prevents the LP from 'sticking' to the pan due to suction.

    Flip the record over, repeat.

    Give it a bath in the rinse water.

    Dry with the towels.

    Prop up on a shelf to finish air drying.

    Works great.
u/Bubbawilcox · 4 pointsr/CherokeeXJ

Instead of PB Blaster, try ATF mixed with acetone. I used that while doing mine and it made the work much easier than PB Blaster did.

I just pour the mix in [This] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035FH906/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and shake before I spray. It really helps with really tight and stuck on bolts.

u/ChiefSalty · 3 pointsr/OpenPV

For soldering preparation, I typically use alcohol with q-tips for cleaning the contacts, and alcohol with tissue for wiping the wires and the solder.

For clean-up, I use acid brushes with the bristles trimmed down to 1/4 to 1/2 in or so dipped in alcohol. It works absolute wonders and takes care of flux like nothing else. https://www.amazon.com/RAM-PRO-Flexible-Horsehair-Bristle-Tubular/dp/B01LXNQW9W/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?keywords=acid+brush&qid=1562073005&s=gateway&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1

50/50 mix of Acetone and ATF beats damn near anything. If it's really stuck, hit it with a torch first and let it sit for about 15 mins.

ATF is filled with all kinds of detergents and dispersants. The Acetone thins it down to let it flow better and help it wick into the threads. I keep it in a spray can like this and use it all the time. It's cheap as all get out too.

After that there are a lot of things to try, In no particular order.

6 point wrench and a sharp strike, like with a hammer.

6 point wrench and strong constant force.

try tightening it first, sometimes you can break the bond that way

heat the nut with a torch, and cool the bolt rapidly. I've used a can of dust off turned upside down to cool.

strike the head with a hammer.

Breaker bar with a length of pipe slid over the handle. anyway to increase your leverage.

u/MrSurly · 2 pointsr/AskElectronics
  • Use IPA 91% is better than 70%
  • Get some "acid brushes", cut the bristles down to about 1/4" (6-8mm)
  • Dip brush in IPA, scrub flux residue
  • Blot with clean paper towel while still wet
  • Repeat as necessary

    That bit about the blotting is the important part. IPA just dissolves the flux. If you don't physically remove it, the IPA evaporates, and the flux is still on the board.

I have used this 4ft-9ft extendable painter's pole made by Shure Line as a light boom. It's very light and easy to operate. You can pick it up at any home improvement store for under $35. They make shorter ones, but I havent used them. You will also need an adapter for the threaded end to convert it to a standard 5/8" light mount. Kacey makes such an adapter and it's available at MPEX for less than $20. On to of that, a lightweight swivel adapter for your flash shoe and you're in business. It won't stand on its own, but I have used 2 straps to strap it to my leg like a splint, and I can walk around with it. Looks ridiculous, but the light is really nice.

u/_Choose__A_Username_ · 2 pointsr/finishing

I have a Wagner that’s very similar to the one you’re looking at and actually really like it a lot. I’m just a weekend warrior, so it works very well for me. If you plan on using this thing daily, then you can’t go cheap. Get a better sprayer. But for quick, smooth, and easy painting at a good price, you can’t beat these sprayers.

As far as clean up, I use hot water immediately after I’m done and have never had issues. You’ll need to take it apart and use a toothbrush too. You may need to clean it with diluted paint thinner every now and then, so keep some handy. And learn how to thin paints. It makes a world of a difference once you start using the correct viscosity for the paint/stain/finish you’re using.

u/CiceroRex · 2 pointsr/woodworking

A spray extender could help in this sort of situation, if you wanted to keep a little distance between yourself and the spray to avoid getting it on yourself and standing in there with the fumes as well, you just screw it on the end of a pole.

u/grunthos503 · 2 pointsr/Tools

Lots of good reviews on the Ryobi brad nailer, and cordless/(no air hose) is certainly very appealing.

Pneumatic nailers are still a little smaller than the cordless ones, so a little better for getting into tight corners when doing baseboard (inside corners under cabinet toe kicks, etc).

The pneumatic tools are also just so inexpensive once you have the compressor. I thought I mainly needed a brad nailer, but the 1/4" stapler has been very handy as well. Just replaced the carpeting on the cat tree, and the stapler made it a breeze. The Harbor Freight 2-in-1 nailer/stapler has poor reviews so I'd avoid it, but the separate tools have been great. I had a bad experience with the HF staples, but Dewalt staples in the HF stapler have worked well.

18ga brad nails are fine for most trim, but I feel like they are just barely enough for baseboards. I just got a 16ga nailer and I like them much better for baseboard. I feel like 18ga is perfect for light trim up to 1/4" or 3/8" thick, and 16ga is better for 1/2" or thicker, especially if it is dense like MDF.

I really like Flexzilla air hose; very soft and flexible with no kinking. Also put a swivel connector on the guns.

Pancake compressor will definitely not be enough for an HVLP sprayer. Would work for an airbrush, or possibly a small sprayer like the Critter spray gun.

Compressor can be pretty noisy and annoying indoors. Either look at the quiet ones like California Air Tools or HF's new quiet ones, or just buy 100ft of hose so you can leave the compressor outside while you work inside.

This tool helped a lot for edging in our house. We didn't even have to tape for it. Just kept a damp rag on hand for quickly wiping up mistakes.

It does need an actual hard edge to work well though. If your baseboards end in a soft curvy finish, you'll probably still want to tape them.

I like those brushes because they’re cheap. You can trim them to whatever shape you need and toss them when you’re done. The cleaner is just IPA I think, but it will evaporate out and draw out a lot of moisture in he process. The spray bottle is nice, you can blast out a lot of FOD like that corrosion (before and after brushing) in the process.

Obvious safety would be a very well vented room away from flames, you’ll be spraying a flammable liquid. Be smart about it, read labels on whatever you buy.

Don’t get rough on anything, those pins WILL break if you do. Brush it like you would your kindergartener’s teeth: to clean not scrub with some knuckle.

Depending on your climate, you could do any number of things to make an oven, it just needs to be “warm” by oven standards. I went to YouTube and found more crap than good material... not much help on there. It’s made to go in a car, so keep that in mind.

In Texas it gets plenty warm enough, just keep it out of direct sunlight and park in the sun all day with the sunroof cracked.

latex paint works best with an airless sprayer, but those will run you $300+.

I picked up a wagner https://www.amazon.com/Wagner-0518080-Control-Spray-Sprayer/dp/B003PGQI48/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1469559938&sr=8-3&keywords=paint+sprayer

works ok for such things. it cant quite vaporize the paint, even after thinning with some floetrol and water. But it works better than a brush.

Its certainly faster, but it does waste a fair amount of paint.

Still, I hate painting, Ive gotten my money's worth IMO. Though with the amount Ive used it, I wish i had gotten an airless sprayer.

u/notoriouz · 1 pointr/BMW

I'm considering plasti dipping my entire car as well. Me and a buddy ran the numbers the other night and I can't remember it all, but it seemed really reasonable. I think buying the spray gun will be one of the more expensive parts, but once I have it, I have it. And then if someone else decides they want theirs done, I can do it for them for a slight cost ;)

It does look the same as far as I can tell. From what I read, plasti dip has a little rougher of a finish, where this doesn't. But I can't say for sure because I've never used the plasti dip.

Yes, I just used a spray can for the rims, I suggest buying one of the contraptions that you put on the can that makes spraying easier though. My fingers went numb 20 minutes into doing it. It's been over 48 hours now and I still have no feeling in either of my index fingers. I'm not exaggerating in the least. http://www.amazon.com/Can-Gun1-2012-Premium-Aerosol-Spray/dp/B002EQEE82 Something like that is what I mean.

I'm thinking it will hold up very well, there's one spot I need to redo. It's where they put the wheel weights on the outside of the rim. One of the wheels didn't take to it well so it peeled a tiny bit. Just going to cut the section out and spray it again, it's only about an inch long.

A friend plasti dipped his motocross rims, apparently sprayed it right over dirt and everything, his has been on there for 3-4 years now and he says it still looks great. So take from that what you will, but it should last a long time if you do it well. Even if you have to touch a few things up after a year, it's cheap and easy to do!

u/dstutz · 1 pointr/woodworking

I bought a used Fuji Mini-Mite 3 via CL and it's been an absolute joy to use. I realize that's a little better quality than you're looking for but as long as you're not trying to vaporize super thick latex with a cheap unit most clear woodworking finishes should spray fine with more economical units.

Edit: This Earlex is considered to be pretty good for the price and is a huge step up from a plastic gun.

Paint brush comb for around $9 or $10 is the way to go for brushes. Just be smart, and only brush in one direction (I shouldnt need to say this, but I will just to be safe)

I've used Critter sprayers for over a decade. Hard to beat those things for reliability and ease of use.

An extension + a stick should be cheaper than fancy ladders.

This. And when I do intricate things, I use an acid brush.

It's really easy to do. I used a generic version of this to spray it on. https://www.amazon.com/Wagner-0529021-Flexio-Sprayer-Station/dp/B00IA8EVIQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1499968384&sr=8-7&keywords=wagner+sprayer

the more you use the better. LOTS of coats = easier to peel later if you decide to do that. I sprayed 6 gallons total on my jeep which was something like 12 coats. You want to do the first 2-3 coats light, then start laying it on pretty thick. Just be sure to avoid runs. We waited about 15 minutes between coats. If its real humid you may need to wait longer.

We did almost no prep. Just washed the jeep in Dawn dish detergent and then rubbed it down with rubbing alcohol right before we dipped.

Good luck!

I just got a neiko and with a sufficient compressor it seems to do great!

u/brad3378 · 1 pointr/photogrammetry

I'm mainly interested in the image with all of the labeled components.

He also mentions an alternate source for the pole outside of the photogrammetry industry. I'm assuming that he's using a "painter's pole" style handle with a telescoping design like this one and then adding a 1/4-20 thread to 3/4-5 ACME adapter like this one

Spin them clean with one of these

Can find them at practically any hardware store, some sells them individually.

Or just use your fingers, it'll clean right off with some dawn.

I just put a dab of grease in an old (clean) tuna can and work from that.

I’ve used this spray gun from amazon to do a fence, a shed and a few art projects for Halloween. This thing is amazing. I am by no means a pro, but it did a perfect job, and it’s easy to use, low overspray and super easy to clean.

u/sock2014 · 1 pointr/AskPhotography

get one of these poles, adapt a tripod head (can use a $2 paint roller handle) and a remote trigger https://www.amazon.com/Shur-Line-6572L-Adjustable-Extension-4-Feet/dp/B00192AAC6/

If you are serious about clean brushes, this tool will do the job:

https://www.amazon.com/Purdy-140755200-Cleaning-Roller-Spinner/dp/B00F29A7Y8

It does a great job of stripping the paint off each of the bristles.

u/Not_Joshy · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

A brush that I would highly recommend is the Wooster Shortcut Angle Sash Paintbrush, 2-Inch They're very inexpensive but in my experience are very good quality brushes. I've used it recently for painting throughout my house and it makes cutting into edges along the ceiling a breeze. It has a flexible handle that makes gripping it at weird angles easy and good quality bristles that really make it tricky to spot where the brush was used vs. a roller. Another bonus, they're small enough to fit inside a ziplock bags to store when you want to hit a stopping point for the day and come back later to finish painting without cleaning the brush!

u/corey1994 · 1 pointr/AskPhotography

I just use a poster board taped to a wall (gaffers tape) stand the subject a couple feet in front of it. Use a single octabox/flash at roughly 45° as close to them as I can get it without being in frame. Adjust the light stand closer to 0° if the light looks too directional.

Here are some examples: http://m.imgur.com/gallery/iACh4

But since you need something more mobile from the sound of it maybe you could try doing something like mounting a smaller octabox to a painters pole or monopod? Then you have it ready to go. When you need to do a portrait hold it at 45° and shoot with the other hand. You could even skip the octabox and just hold the flash and point it. I've done that for wedding receptions where I can't bounce my flash, but want to avoid setting up stands. I don't know if direct flash will give you the look you want though.

u/cowanrg · 1 pointr/DIY

I was looking at this one. any thoughts?

u/carissalf · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This would be a handy add-on!

I loved this article. It was definitely bizarre and the picture is adorable. Somehow a baby anteater was born even though there was no male in the enclosure.

How bizarre

Have a great day!

Hi guys,

I want to do some painting. Lots of painting.

In my house:

u/munr · 1 pointr/plastidip

> Most importantly you should invest in a spray handle because your hand is going to get tired without one and you risk bad coats.

Can't recommend this highly enough. Just dipped my rims this past weekend, and two days later, my finger is still completely numb from spraying all that plastidip.

Planning to redip at least one of the rims (probably two), and ordered this sprayer from Amazon for the next time (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EQEE82/), after my hands have recovered!

Buy that. I have one and it's awesome. Use that with lacquer from Sherwin Williams. It was a total game changer for me. I may never brush on a finish again.

u/jdwayner · 1 pointr/woodworking

I recently bought and used this to build some cabinets for my utility room. It worked pretty well once I figured out the settings/paint consistency.

Ultimately, you are buying a $100 paint gun, more likely than not it will not work perfectly. I will say I was pleased with my purchase though.

u/jak13h · 1 pointr/ft86

No glossifer, just 6 cans of color. One can per wheel, and 2 for mudflaps.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E975LQ8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Though I did purchase the spray gun, and I highly recommend that. It worked amazingly well!

here is my HLVP...the reviews are probably better than I can do. I like it.

whether or not its worth it???? YES.....spraying the corners and fronts was sooooo much easier than using a brush....in fact, I cant imagine using brushes for this

u/RuprectGern · 1 pointr/WTF

save yourself some money and replace the bulb with an LED model, or get one of these light bulb kits and a very long fiberglass pole.

u/deimosian · 1 pointr/guns

Yup, OP needs one of these and one of these.

u/nosmokingbandit · 0 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Yellow Frog tape is meant for delicate surfaces, like uncured paint. They still recommend a minimum of 24 hours before applying tape.

I've never used one, but I used to sell tons of these:
https://www.amazon.com/Shur-Line-2000874-Premium-Paint-Edger/dp/B0001MQI9E

You'll still want to wait as long as possible for the first color to dry before running this tool up against it. If they work as well as people tell me you won't need tape.

u/dishungryhawaiian · 0 pointsr/DIY

Really, you get what you pay for, but in the end I'd still recommend doing it yourself. I feel that in this day and age we rely so heavily on others to do things for us (paid or unpaid) that we end up losing basic knowledge of simple things. I do home remodeling and handyman work for a living and though I'm getting paid to do the work, sometimes it just amazes me to get paid for doing some of the most simple of tasks. And when it come to painting, cutting lines, double (or more) coats and making sure you don't get paint on the floors is really the only issues. That can be solved by patience and careful planning. And personally, I use the edger plus to cut the lines. Follow the instructions and maybe do two coats, you'll be fine.

u/Analog_Seekrets · 0 pointsr/HomeImprovement

YES. I know that I'm going to get downvoted to hell because everyone on here says not to do it. And I don't have any experience using a professional sprayer.

BUT, I do have this Wagner sprayer with it's own mini-compressor (not attached to the gun, this is important) and it's awesome! I've used it to paint my whole house (interior). I've had very minimal (if any) overspray. I just tape off the molding and lay some paper down where the wall meets the floor and go to town. I actually bought one of those trim tools someone else suggested and add some Floetrol or water to make it easier to spray.

For 100 bucks, it's been a worthwhile investment. Taping off takes the most time...I find that I can paint a room in about 30min. It really makes up time in the cutting in, rolling, rolling, rolling, dipping the roller back in the pan, rolling some more. You just move your arm and spray until the container is empty.


Edit: All of you guys are pussies. There are a bunch of stay at home mommy bloggers who use paint sprayers and do just fine.
