1.7K views · 121 reactions | Comment “GUIDE” for my free sprayer guide! I’ll send you everything you need to start spraying, including my how-to guide, tips on choosing the right sprayer, and links to my favorite sprayers and spraying equipment. So you’re thinking about using a paint sprayer? Let me save you from a few rookie mistakes. ✔ Not all paints spray well. Some are too thick, dry too fast, or just don’t atomize properly—leaving you with a mess. My two favorites for smooth spraying? @wiseowlpaint One Hour Enamel and @sherwinwilliams Gallery Series. ✔ Distance matters. Spray too close, and you’ll get drips. Too far, and your paint will dry before it even hits the surface. Learning the sweet spot makes all the difference. ✔ Cleaning isn’t that bad. People act like cleaning a sprayer is an all-day event. It’s not. A few minutes of rinsing and flushing is all it takes. ✔ One sprayer is never enough. This hobby is so satisfying, you’ll find yourself looking for excuses to spray more. Before you know it, you’ll be upgrading your sprayer, testing different tip sizes, and convincing yourself you need a second one. ✔ Need help choosing the right sprayer?

5.2K views · 392 reactions | I’m here to set the record straight… and maybe drop a little truth bomb while I’m at it. 😉 Acetone isn’t new. It’s not scary. It’s basically just nail polish remover for grown-ups. But somehow, somehow, people act like it’s terrifying. So here I am—giving you the facts AND what I really want to say about the wildest acetone questions I’ve gotten 😵💫 🚨 Myth: You need a respirator and thick gloves for acetone. ✅ Fact: Nitrile works short-term, butyl for long use. Open a window or use a fan. A mask is optional for occasional light use. 🔥 What I really want to say: Do you wear a respirator at the nail salon? Didn’t think so. 🚨 Myth: Acetone is flammable and smells awful! ✅ Fact: Yes, it’s flammable. Yes, it smells like a solvent. Ventilate. Don’t light a match. 🔥 What I really want to say: Why are you stripping furniture next to a bonfire? I have questions. 🚨 Myth: You have to rinse acetone off. ✅ Fact: No. Acetone evaporates completely—nothing to rinse. 🔥 What I really want to say: It’s a solvent. It’s gone. What are you rinsing—thin air? 🚨 Myth: Acetone is a carcinogen. ✅ Fact: Nope. The ACGIH classifies it as A4—not a carcinogen. This is just fear-mongering. 🔥 What I really want to say: Who started this rumor? It’s nail polish remover, not nuclear waste. 😒 🚨 Myth: If you use acetone, you don’t have to sand. ✅ Fact: Acetone removes finish—it doesn’t prep wood. Sanding is always part of refinishing. 🔥 What I really want to say: Acetone doesn’t replace common sense. It’s a solvent, not magic. You still have to sand. 👊 Curious what acetone can do for your flips? Drop “ACETONE” below, and I’ll send you the link! Acetone: it’s not new, it’s not scary—it’s common sense. Got more questions?

1.2K views · 5.1K reactions | Repost @novabay_realestate #painternation ✨ Save this video if you’re gearing up for a sanding project! ✨ Whether it’s wood, metal, or drywall, sanding is the secret sauce for a smooth, pro finish. Here’s a rundown of tools and hacks to make your sanding job easier and more effective: ✅ Start with the Right Grit: Coarse grit (60-80) for heavy-duty removal, medium (120-150) for shaping, and fine (220+) for finishing touches. Pick the right grit for each stage and let it do the work! ✅ Orbital Sander for Wood: For big surfaces, an orbital sander is a lifesaver. It sands evenly and leaves a smooth finish with minimal effort—perfect for furniture and cabinets. ✅ Hand Sanding for Control: In tight spots or for intricate details, hand sanding gives you control where power tools can’t. Use a sanding block to keep surfaces level and your fingers safe! ✅ Wet Sanding for Smoothness: For metal and certain finishes, wet sanding with waterproof sandpaper can give an ultra-smooth, polished look. It reduces dust and heat, which helps prevent scratches. Bonus Tip 💡: Use a vacuum or tack cloth to clean off dust between each grit change. Dust can mess with your finish, so a clean surface = best results! ✨ DM if you want more DIY hacks or to discuss how we can elevate your space together! ✨ 🎥credit to respective owners.DM for tag or removal #SandingHacks #DIYTips #Woodworking #HomeImprovement #Novabay #RealEstate #Renovation #realestate #investwithnovabay #diy #jointventure | Painter Nation
