How much overspray? Do you still cut in walls at ceilings with a brush or tape off ceiling. How sharp is the edge of the spray.

There is overspray with any airless sprayer. How much preparation and shielding will depend on your experience with a sprayer. I've been using airless spray guns for 25 years. I haven't purchased one of these yet, but I'm sure it has a different feel than a regular spray gun since you'll be holding a much bulkier unit in your hand. Drop cloths, painter's plastic, cardboard and spray shields are always a painter's friend. I can use an airless sprayer and shooting ceilings and only get 1/2" to 1" of overspray around the top of the walls - but that's because I can hold my gun at an angle that allows me better aim - this unit I'm sure would create a much larger spray pattern in ceiling-wall corners.

In my experience, there is much less overspray than a high pressure system, but I use this for custom cabinetry and doors and only spray outside or in a spray booth. I'm using pre-catalyzed lacquer.

Hi Jenny. I wish I could give you a positive answer but there are so many variables when spraying over a painted surface. The best I can offer is that I feel pretty confident that it would work (but no guarantee). My suggestion would be to spray several coats of the spray and it should certainly dull the surface. The product dries quickly, usually within a few minutes so you can respray without too much waiting. Best regards, Harve E.

Wall: Sure, just drill some holes carefully in the wooden stick attached to the vertical edge, so as to not crack the stick-wooden part.Ceiling: That's a pretty unusual idea. I think it's too heavy for suspending above or over your living space because it might fll down and hurt you. Try a lighter bamboo windowshade for that job instead.

I don't know. But I personally would not do it. This thing although clear, does have a refractive index to it so that you do notice it. It will probably change the look of your wallpaper. For better or worse, I don't know. Getting it to consistent thickness is going to be tough as well, as well as figuring out exactly where you sprayed and where you have not. And it will probably drip too. And if you have moisture on the wall facing side of the wallpaper, the clear coat will make it worse probably.

Comes off of everything very easily from my experience. I sprayed myself or had someone spray me in my shower and it washed off just get a brush or rag to help get it off shower walls etc. Also off bed sheets and any clothes, from my experience it all came right out. :) Order more as we speak!

It depends on how bright and saturated you want/need the effect to be. I threw it on a 20 x 12 foot wall from a distance of maybe 10 feet away. It was brilliant and sharp and fairly all encompassing (It was night time - with some ambient light around) Double that distance and the effect and coverage suffers greatly.

There is a bit of over spray but you get a better finish with less. I primarily use it for painting furniture but I would highly recommend this sprayer.

It's not as powerful as a compressor driven sprayer. There will be more overspray on the floor, cover anything under the target area and go. Drywall texture is a mess with any application. This is a good tool for small, less than multiple rooms. For the money, it is a good tool.

Why would you want to? If you want less pressure, I suggest just moving back away from the target some. I have never stripped paint off anything I did not want to at full power. Different tips work as noted previously.

I spray along baseboards throughout the house, along the inside edges of bottom (floor) cabinets especially under sink.....heavily around any area open to the outside such as dryer vents or where plumbing enters as exits. We have an older home so this is an issue. I also spray thresholds heavily. I try not to get the spray anywhere bare feet would walk or where you touch frequently which is why I stay close to baseboards and cabinet edges, under appliances etc to minimizes contact exposure. I don't spray in upper cabinets where food is stored and I always remove the pots and pans before I spray in that area. Hope this helps.

who much of a texture is it? only because my walls are completely smooth and it was ok to apply,I had to go back over it a few times and over the last few days I have to smooth certain spots out. I honestly would not spend the money risking it not sticking correctly.

Used Bayer Advanced brush killer today in 101 degree heat on large area of 2-3 inch poison oak . Just hate the trigger sprayer, very short handle---had to keep switching from each hand as it was so tiresome from squeezing the sprayer trigger. Roundup has a much better sprayer, longer wand, hand is not close to the sprayer end, don't have to bend down as much, comfortable to hold and easy to apply.I hope the spraying I did today shows it is working soon. I used Roundup to spray thistles and saw results in 3 hours. The only reason for purchasing Bayer Advanced brush killer was to destroy poison oak.

I set up my room (shut A/C down), set spray and immediately leave room, close door. Don't open for 10 hours at least. I didn't use masks; I wasn't in there long enough.... If you plan to, I'd use a mask & googles

I have very low ceilings with a heavely shaded yard. I painted my ceiling a gloss white, latex paint to make it brighter in the house. I used a 4" roller, because it was easier to roll around the pattern. I used gloss paint so I can use a sponge mop and clean the ceiling. I love the ceiling and how much easier it is to take care of. Eventually, we will do all the rooms!

I used it to paint a large shed and it made short work of it. I tried to roll it but had difficulty because of the sidings textured surface. After getting the sprayer the job was finished much faster and consumed much less paint.Ceilings may be difficult because of the position of the draw from the reservoir. Pointing the sprayer up to spray the eaves required frequent topping of the reservoir.

oh sorry....I mis-read your question thinking you were looking for a finisher. I agree with one of the respondents...don't use a spray on top of crackle medium. Part of the charm of the medium is brush strokes and their length and thickness that affect the crackling nicely. Terri C.
