Come hang out with me as I go out of my way to ensure I maintain a grasp on old traditional skills all while integrating new learning, concepts and tools into my life.

I've use this sprayer to finish furniture, trim and even a few walls.

Spray Minwax Polycrylic? Best DIY Finish
มุมมอง 31K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Minwax Polycrylic is a water based finish coat that I've used on quite a few projects. Using an inexpensive sprayer I'm able to achieve professional results.
Looks beautiful very professional
😂😂😂😂. So this is what I'm going to try to do now😂😂😂😂
I thouth this guy was the CEO of facebook ...😂
Just bought one and best easiest way I found to clean it is exactly how you are, I read so many complaints about how involved it is to clean but follow this and it’s clean in no time! I see a bunch of videos that run water through gun before cleaning this way that i tried but it does not help and still need to do this afterwards. This should be in Home right instructions
Update: so I sprayed the Minwax Matte straight up (no thinning) after stirring it for about 2-3 minutes with a paint stick. I used a cheap HVLP gun @ 30 psi with about a 3.5" fan pattern and a 1.4 mm nozzle. Atomization dial was about 1/4 turn off of full with flow dial 1.5 turns from closed, and it turned out beautifully! It was totally matte as it should have been (I'd been reading from others that their mattes and satins were all turning out like semi-gloss). Hopefully this helps others.
No kidding! I even found some guys who had pro-tips on getting the manufacturer's instructions to work out, and I did exactly as they described -- wet brush, light coats, one or two strokes, don't linger, and move on -- still looks like crap! And that's what brought me here. My gut was telling me just to spray it. Everything can be sprayed with the right adjustments. I was kind of hoping you had a recipe. 😆 It seems fairly thin as is. Maybe I'll just test it straight up, no thinning but with a 1.3 mm nozzle in an LVLP @ ~30 psi. Hopefully I can remember to stop back and update after I see how it goes.

Dude you're a hero
Hopefully my clear gloss turns out glossy😂😂
I've got a pretty decent looking old fashioned spray gun. I'm going to do what you said and blame you if it doesn't work😂😂😂😂😂
@@ChadVanryn I hope it turns out for you then! 😆
@@garrettguitarnot bad but not perfect.
Did you thin the poly?
Can you spray over latex paint? Thanks
You can spray almost anything over latex (with few exceptions), and I know for sure this product can go on top of latex as per manufacturer.
I can't wait to try this! I'm ordering my spray gun right now! That finish is SO CLEAN! I've been looking for a solution to help me bring the best possible product to my customers! Just tried airbrushing it and it worked ok but that's definitely better for smaller projects which won't work for me. Thank you!
Works great thankyou
Wondering if there’s a risk to using petroleum repeatedly in the stove. Could there be a buildup which could cause a problem?
Straight out of can with 3 mil tip works great. I have a q-5 Fuji
Is rhe dry time between coats quicker with spray?
Great minds think alike! I will make what you did and glue two short dowel pcs. to fit in the existing jaw screw holes. Mine are 1/4" to the top of the screw and that should provide even more stability. Thank you for the idea!! Now--- monkey say monkey DO! LOL
Hello, from Alaska! I have been stressing over this! I am toooo scared to apply this with a foam brush because it is tricky to get it right with this product! I do not want any streaks at all on this amazing project that is ready for a sealant. I have a spray gun I just purchased and I thought it would not work because it is Polycrylic and would ruin it and not clean-up right. YAY! I was wrong! You said it cleans up nice w/ warm water and soap. Thanks!
Manufacturer even says not to use a foam brush.
Do NOT spray polycrylic. Polycrylic is water based but has oil elements. if you do spray it, clean your sprayer THOROUGHLY with mineral spirits/paint thinner AND soap and water, separately. Even tiny traces of running this through your sprayer with only soap and water cleanup will make your sprayer's new home be the garbage bin.
He said his cleaned nice with just soap and water....Hmmmm.... I do NOT want to ruin my new sprayer.
I've done about 20 rounds of spraying with my Wagner so far and only cleaned thoroughly with soap and water and have not had any issues so far. Not noticing any difference in flow, spray pattern, etc.
Or you can pour it into a plastic bag instead of directly into your spray container, then spray 👍
Shhhhh. You start out by yelling, then give bad advice. Nobody is looking for either of those things.
Why would you have a spray gun but not any sort of paint thinner. That doesn't even make any sense. In what world would you use a spray gun and not clean it up after the fact. You're completely ignorant
About to do this! Do you do anything to keep it from drying too fast?
Doesn't look like he checks the comments often, but 1). Did you thin it? 2). How did you clean your sprayer after? Did you have to clean it between coats also?
No, don't thin it. No need to clean the sprayer between coats. Take a wet rag and clean off the tip/opening when complete then use a rubber band to keep a wet rag on the tip, so it doesn't dry up. After I am done, clean the sprayer parts with warm soap and water. Really user friendly
@@JohnConnors-te7hi I was just here basically looking for a recipe. I'm probably going to use an LVLP -- maybe one of the HVLP's -- not sure yet. Typically I'd use a 0.8 nozzle on a clear coat, but for this I'm thinking a little bigger like 1.3mm since it's straight up. What did you use?
Very nice stove top cover!
Good idea. Will keep it in mind. What type of magnets did you use? Also - nice Spyderco pocket knife. Which one was that?
Great idea👍
Awesome Video !!!!!
What tip did you use? I know the one that comes on the gun is green 2.5m and it also comes with a red 4m. Also, Did you also thin it down?
Did you thin the polycrylic?
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. When you are spraying polycrylic with multiple coats do you clean between each coat or can you somehow keep everything from drying while you wait for the work to dry? Thanks.
The instructions say to clean it after 30 minutes max of no use
Was that try stained before the acrylic finish cause I heard this finish does not do yellowing? Thanks
Polycrylic dries completely clear; this tray was most likely stained, or this is just the natural wood color.
This is fantastic, I almost missed it as your videos are short. I think you could combine all your 4min videos into one large one that covers remarks, spraying, and cleanup. Or better yet, include links with titles. Thanks for posting this, no one else really has covered cleaning your sprayer.
I have one of these. Excellent tools and good job on the video
Thanks this was a great instructional video!
Did you thin or straight from the can?
When I spray polycrylic with an electric sprayer like shown in this video I usually dilute with water to about 90% polycrilic 10% water.
Stihl needs to hire you! Best demo video I've seen
Great info thanks!
Thanks for the info. Did you thin it before spraying?
