for wind breaking issues...
Wind break ideas????
I've finally been able to get started outside because it's warm enough. Now the only problem is the wind. I prefer to work alone so I use a spray shield in the right hand and spray gun in left hand.
Not able to start that early in the morning because of temps so end up fighting the wind. I know I've read some simple wind break ideas here before but darned if I can't find them.
What do all you seasoned veterans do? (besides get out of the wind).
Thanks in advance.

Good one V :laughing:for wind breaking issues...
oh and since you are using two hands why not drop the shield and gun, and pick up 2 brushes? same speed less float. just sayin
Glad I could provide you guys with some humor this evening.
You could use a Timhag to stand the the corner of the house to break the wind... It will only work 4 feet high but will block for about 35 feet. Fat blocks wind nicely!I've finally been able to get started outside because it's warm enough. Now the only problem is the wind.

Seriously ... find something else to do until the wind dies down or brush it. Your probably wasting 70% of your paint in the air.
Tim's version of the Sprinter/Mercedes van.....maybe it would be best to use the fart to your advantage, instead of working around it, this guy did

Everyone should use a Timhag.:yes:You could use a Timhag .
You are consistent my brother NEPS.Tim's version of the Sprinter/Mercedes van.....
I have used the 3m masking film on scaffolding. cept it kind of made a sail and I had to drive my truck on the lawn, take my rope off my ladder, and tie the scaffolding to the truck so it would stop blowing over : )
turn your pressure down
use an assortment of sheilds
keep sheilds rinsed off and dry with terrycloth towel, or super chamois
when its too windy dont spray
have your spray bitch leapfrog your ladders, position your drops, sheilds, and rinse and dry sheilds,,,,,,,you should never wait for anything,,,,,he should anticipate your needs

Well its a good thing you havent lost your sense of humor, Crow. Not quite following the dog analogy though.
Don't really have a dog in this race, but I think that was really pushing the envelope for this forum.was my picture offensive?
Maybe I do have a dog in this. No big deal to me, but I never expected to see something like that here, and just as I thought, it did not stay long.
Well, it was not there a minute ago on my screen. Lets say I am surprised it is not removed.
I am totally not following the dog analogy here. :help:
