    I bought a sprayer to paint a large trellis fence, which would've been a right royal pain with a brush. My wife followed along on the other side with a large cardboard sheet to catch the overspray. I had approximately a 3:1 ratio of paint on the fence to paint on the wife. Not recommended as a team-building exercise.

    Just on filling up the gun, best tool I've found is get either a 2pt or 4pt plastic milk container, keep the lid on. Cut the bottom portion off, and clean out. Then you're left with a soft flexible scoop with a handle on that can be used for easy and quick filling. That's what I've used successfully many times.

    I had several hundred metres to do with one of those sprayers once.
    To get around the refilling mess i went to a local home brewing shop, bought a high flow tap and fitted it to an empty 10 litre paint tub i had.
    I wasnt sure how it would turn out but it worked bloody brilliantly! Zero mess at all!

    I think the trouble at the beginning was the globs of paint you put in. I've never seen paint which globs like that ever on on properly with even a roller or brush. I've used airless sprayers many times and after gun set up, the most important thing is paint consistency. I would definitely recommend using a cordless drill with a mixing attachment, add perhaps thin the paint 5-10% and then strain it through a sieve before using. Also buy yourself 5-10L drum (the type used for water when you go camping and which has the little tap at the bottom) and put your paint into this and use it to top up. I prefer not to let the gun get less than about 1/3 full as I noticed the spray consistency changes beyond that point.

    I've got the Wagner Fence & Decking Sprayer which has a 1400ml reservoir so gives slightly longer spray time between trips to the "soup kitchen"
    Top Tip - I cut the top half from an old 3L Fabric Conditioner bottle and use it as a wide necked funnel to pour straight in to the spray container from the big fence paint bucket then dilute with water afterwards
    I now love painting my 20 fence panels with this as it is so quick and satisfying.
    I actually spend more time masking off my concrete posts and plinths than painting, but then I think "I may as well do 2 coats" seeing as I've gone to the trouble of doing the prep

    The reason the stain went on better was because it was thinner. It would have been easier to thin the paint in a separate container and thin pour the mix into the spray pot using a cheap plastic jug.
    These are great for fences, etc...but theres a trade off with walls and woodwork, having to thin the paint means more overspray and more coats in some cases, plus the chance of runs and breaking down the binder in the paint
    You also have to consider the time it takes to mask and protect other surfaces and the cost of the masking materials
    A lot of diyers buy cheap sprayers, mistakenly thinking they are just 'plug n play' they aint

    For loading mine I use a plastic measuring jug, like the one you are using for clean up but a bit smaller, set of 3 costs a few quid.

For the cost of the sprayer and abit of labour, beats paying for someone to do the job.

  • @StrawbyteWorkshop
    @StrawbyteWorkshop 2 года назад +26

    I have the same machine, the impetus was that my new build house was sprayed and we wanted to retain the finish as we put colour on the walls. Two things I’ve found which might help. Use trade emulsions they need less thinning compared to diy versions. Most diy paint from manufacturers such as Dulux are designed to not even need stirring let alone thinning. The other thing is to filter the paint. I didn’t have many clogs but cleaning is a pain and since using a filter I’ve not had a single clog and enjoy spraying even more.
    Your comment on cleaning time/efforts meaning that you might only reserve the sprayer for larger jobs isn’t my experience. When compared to brushing and rollering where you’re cleaning rather than discarding the brush or roller, I find the sprayer doesn’t take much more time.

That last thing you want is a thin layer of paint drying inside the sprayer whilst you move things out of the way and mask off a windows you forgot about. Speaking from experience :-).

    I have the same set up. So, another little tip, when cleaning, is to make sure you remove from under the sprayer lid, the white disk that has the tube sticking down into the paint! It will enable you to give it a proper clean but also paint can get trapped between the disk and the lid which, if not cleaned off, will eventually dry, and reduce performance! I have to say, I find the cleanup to be fairly quick. I use an old car sponge and a bucket of water, a hose and also an old kitchen sponge that has a scotchbrite pad to clean off the awkward bits of paint. But otherwise, very nice video!

    Owning a "wagner flexio w690" myself and using it sometime last year to spraypaint a large 36m2 room (Walls only), I found the following to be true:
    -You run through large amounts of paint very quickly (15L) in one go, single coat. (I ended up putting 2x coats of "Dulux Trade Super Matt" in the end.)
    -The "overspray" does go into every single nook and cranny/crevice and thus do you need to make sure you mask off and cover off EVERYTHING (Cover up your hose)
    -The paint does go on "DRY" due to the air that blast the the paint onto the wall from the gun.
    -The gun/nozzle does end up getting blocked if you do short intervals and thus do you need to ensure that you go on long constant strokes (Your paint/spraying technique is completely different from the way that you would use an aerosol can.) while spraying.

    good video. I've owned and used this model for several years. The small gun is best for thinner paints while the big gun is best for less viscous paints such as latex/acrylic water based house and wall paint. Stains tend to be thin by comparison and the big gun really shines with those. I stained a stable with it and for the top of ladder work i strapped the turbine (pump) onto my back or onto the ladder and it worked fine. As for the small gun it works very well with oil based paints but these must be thinned. For example I make ornamental metal tables legs and use Tremclad enamel thinned with acetone to 25 seconds with a ford #4 cup. The issue with any paint that goes on with blobs or orange peel the solution is to thin it.

    But then decided on a large plastic fuel funnel removing the screwed extension pipe.
    Then pouring steadily from the tub after a vigorous stir.
    But place the reservoir (with funnel in the top) into an empty paint tub.
    That way any split paint is in a tub ready for any touch up areas.

    I learnt from bitter experience after ending up with 'flakes' on the wall - resulting in having to let it dry and sand down and redo the whole wall. Picking off flakes is not recommended !!.
    Pay a bit extra and get a funnel type filter that will sit 'on' the reservoir - the plastic one - and save not needing to have to wash the ladle so you can have the custard over your pudding !!

Moved on to my 18M x 2 m feather edge fence this afternoon. Did one side in 3 hours. WHAT A BRILLIANT PEICE OF KIT! Best thing I've ever bought. Great finish and no diluting of paint. Used Ronseal Fencelife +.

    Good video I went for the W 950 I like the getting the paint directly from the can rather than filling the pot every 5 mins. Free next day delivery with Amazon UK.

    I bought this during lockdown. I have done my fencing and internal walls. The adage that it takes longer to mask up and clean up than it does to paint, is true. But well worth it
    though the finish is great. Also put 3 coats on my fence in an afternoon. I also bought 3 extra containers with lids so I could spray a large area.

    You're correct, the pump hasn't a clue what you're spraying. It's the spray nozzle that is designed for particular types of paint.

    • @ProperDIY

      Then rather than calling it a 'wall or 'metal' nozzle, they should call it an 'emulsion' or 'varnish' nozzle - that's the point

    Raided the kitchen for a ladle many years ago. It stays in my box of paintbrushes and scrapers. Sometimes, my wife sees me using it to shift paint and has a squawk before I say that's what I got it for. Then she mentions a list of other items that 'went missing'

    I have used the earlex sprayer for over 10 hrs and it's still going strong. It comes with a backpack container which saves on refills although pressure is great so usually use the small container. I wouldn't use a soup ladle as it takes too long. Just pour carefully direct from container having first bent top to give a spout shape. Ground cover needed!! When doing tops of fences use an old cover or in my case a curtain to stop over spray and really annoy the neighbours, esp if they have washing out!! Earlex is so easy to clean, just spray water through it then dismantle and clean. Forgot to mention, keep paint at room temp 24hrs before using as it usually then doesn't need watered down.

    Just a tip I saw elsewhere on youtube, you can place two strips of gaffer tap in a V on the opening of paint/stain tin and then it will pour out like a spout. It also keeps the edges of the tin free of paint! Might save you an ear bashing from the Wife :) I've been an avid watcher of your channel since i found a video on adding an electric socket. Love your presenting style and step by step guides. Your sense of humour add to a sometime dry subject. Well done!

    I've owned 4 different Wagners thru the years. None of them last very long. You are right about the clean up though. If you are painting large areas like fences and walls you aren't going top beat an airless with a 25' hose. Just make sure it has adjustable pressure. Without an adjustment painting a room will probably end up a mess with a mist filling the room, especially when painting the ceiling. These type of painters are NOT what you want to use for finish work or auto painting. Small finish work like guitars or a car fender can be handled with a $15 detail gun and a pancake compressor that you can pick up used for less than $50. The nozzle size is the key.
    then again you can rent an airless at box stores and paint stores.....

    My brother lent me his Bosch HVLP sprayer to do my fences, nothing fancy, just a mains-powered little thing that cost about 20 quid, it was bloody brilliant! I don't know about interior decorating, but you don't need anything expensive for fences and gates.

    Very similar to my wife's spray tan machine, although i don't think she'd be too happy me using it to spray the fences. Definitely looking into one of these units tho.

    • @crazykittenvideos855
      @crazykittenvideos855 2 года назад +1

      If you do use it for the fence make sure you remember to take the Ronseal out or she’ll be oak tanned for 5 years guaranteed! 😁

    Stuart, had the same problem with my one as you did with yours, coincidentally with exactly the same Leyland paint, tried it with another paint, worked really well, I think its the opacity of the paint.
    Even diluted down could not get it to work. Good luck with your one.

    My idea about this sprayer for renovation and DIY is to use interchangeable combination of cheap standard sprayer head with standard compressed air hose and connect it with a mobile battery powered compressor. So I'm free to change if I really need more: different sprayer head or bigger compressor.

    I used to live in a village in Scotland which was crossed by the Erskine Bridge, at one time the longest and highest single span bridge in Europe. The bridge had to be painted every few years and one year the company doing the job decided to use a paint that “etched” into the metal structure. The paint did the job, but unfortunately the etching component in the spray stayed “live” long enough for the invisible mist to land on cars in the village. You couldn’t see anything but your car felt like sandpaper and it was impossible to clean off as it had etched into the surface. Consequently over 700 cars had to be completely sanded down and re-sprayed. A bit of an expensive error!

    Having purchased the exact same sprayer in the past & when painting rooms the hopper is far to small so refilling is very frequent which is very heavy on your arms leading to fatigue & the supplied hose a really short especially when spraying ceilings.
    Overspray is also a massive problem with an air sprayer, not only with clean up as even when all the masking & sheeting is in place it still causes a big mess when removing the masking wet to get a crisp line the sheets are wet through with paint or dry the paint flakes off creating a right mess.
    Airless sprayers are the way to go with minimal over spray, long hose, no heavy hopper to carry or endlessly refill. Wish I had purchase one in the first place.

    You “need” to stress that you must protect anything in the background from overspray. It’s so easy for the spray to go over to anything in your neighbours property, including their car, and that could be unpleasant and expensive. I would never let overspray go over the top of a fence without someone holding a cardboard shield.
    Oh yes, the instrument used for spraying is called a spray gun.
