Contract painter for 36 years here. Turn your pressure way down when spraying thin stains,you lose a lot in overspray. That color really is nice,turned out great.

Mike, if you're going to use this kind of stain for future builds, think about getting a 5 gallon bucket, should be cheaper in the long run. Great job, doing well.

That respirator that you are wearing is a dust respirator. You need to wear a vapor respirator when you are spaying a oil base stain/paint. Of course you are outside so the over spay won’t be as bad.,but if you were in a enclosed room you would definitely want to wear a vapor respirator. All I have ever used is a Crayco airless spayer. I used to paint houses for a living. Interior and exterior. Water base and oil base.

Getter Done a lot quicker but a lot of waste goes into the Air but that is what you get with a sprayer!!👍👊

Really good video fella. Thank you for sharing your day. Simply Safe. Sounds like a good idea. Not here. Haven’t locked my door for 30 years. Keys are in truck, quad, tractor.

Mike, now that I think about it, you may want to put on 2 coats. First coat sucks into the wood, second coat actually protects from the UV, moisture, and all round weather concerns. With sprayer now, that might be good to consider. What do other professional painters think? Do a section on the back and see what you think.

Years ago I brushed my 36 x 48 barn, it took 60 hours. More recently I have sprayed it twice at about 4 hours each time. That included time for fixing the sprayer when it gave trouble!

I like the sprayer it looks like it really speeds things up. It's good that the wood is soaking it up and the stain is penetrating the pine. You might want to consider a heavier duty protection for your breathing. I just purchased a face mask with disposable filter cartridges that can be customized to the job you are doing.

Mike, next time you spray start with the pressure at a very low setting and work your way up until the spray tails (the little dots on the edge of the spray fan) are gone. You’re losing a ton of material to over spray. 2 gallons should be more than enough to finish the whole building. That’s a great color. I hope my recommendation helps and I’m speaking from 16 years experience.

If I have a project that typically takes 10 gallons to complete using a roller Ballpark guesstimate how many gallons do you think it would take using this sprayer?

MIKE, don't ya just dislike the learning curve! BUT....that's what it takes to master the task, and become a Pro! Good stuff!

Looking Better. Sprayer is the ticket. A little waste but making up time. Worth it!

Must be the spring of the year -- hear the dove

Mike.....love your channel Small tip....when spraying rafters....throw a thin sheet of 4x8 plywood on top....move easily with where spaying.....consierable less overspry

Charles Marshall overspray is overspray, it just becomes stain on the plywood with your method and at some point it will start dripping on you . I don’t see the overspray being a problem in this situation. The entire structure is the same finish. May be helpful if you’re trying to keep it off other surfaces but a major time sucker to keep moving it to keep up with your work flow. It would be easier to use a roll of plastic.

Great looking shed & sign!

Its looking good Mike, as I said its a little learning curve. The only thing you need is a 5 gallon bucket to pull from, to get a more consistent color. Plus a damp towel to cover the bucket to keep any trash, debris or dirt in your paint or stain. Catch you on the next one!

Good morning Morgan's. Staining looks terrific, I agree with using extension wand on the gun, it really helps. That stain will really make the new pool house look great! 😉👍

Mike, After a few days to let everything evaporate cover the box of the sprayer with a trash bag. Sprayers do not like dust of any sort. If you leave it like that on the shelf with months of dust, you will be frustrated with future projects. Just a thought. Have a day.

Looks fantastic. The sprayer was just the ticket. 👍❤️ Y’all have a day.

You can cut down on waste by buying different jets. 2 in. 3,4,6,8. spray widths. Also couple different length extensions. Also a swivel just behind the spray tip, you can adjust different angles so you're not contorting your arm. Also the paper mask is not enough. A partial respirator for solvents. I ran 2 units for 25 years. Good luck

Nice job. Thanks for the free education. Have a productive day.

Thanks Mike . I was waiting for this video . Love the colour of the stain . It's hard to pick which stain to get but it's an easy choice when you see what colour someone else has used . Gonna save this video in my favourites just for the colour . Bright sunny morning in Southern Ontario . 61F . Take care .

Mike, Mike. After watching you for about 4 months now and all of your videos I have learned one thing that I am sure of. You are very matriculate about everything you do. From cutting fire wood at 16 inches to stacking it properly, milling lumber from the mill and dry stacking it to mini cabin overdoing. And now the sprayer back in the box. You are very tidy and neat. But I can’t recall the last time I have seen that side by side clean. I think it’s time to clean her up. Lol. I only mention this cause I just purchased a side by side and I’m noticing everything. Great job Morgan’s.

Looks like a fine piece of equipment and helps get the job done in half the time. Love your channel and keep up the good work!

Fantastic job Mike and Melissa, sure does a great job with your sprayer, once you get the hang of it there will be less loss of stain. That’s a pretty cool tool for your arsenal 👍👍. You’ll be filling up the wood shed real quick. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.

Nice to see the shed with color. Also interesting that although not everything you have is the same asI have, but I have been using Stihl products for over 20 years, I bought an Ezmark mower at the end of last season and now you got one, I am looking to buy a Kubota BX23S as soon as I can and now you guys have one, and then the surprise, you pull out a Champion generator. Although it's newer then mine, I have the same model I bought about ten or eleven years ago for camping but it ended up being used for power outages around my house. Looking forward to seeing how that Grayco sprayer works for you over future projects. Till then Have A Day.

Hi, John here from Steelton, Pa. Just outside of Harrisburg, love the puppy, hope he brings your family a lot of joy and love.

Glad to see the graco working well, I've often considered getting a sprayer over the years but never did. Now that my helpers are adults they aren't always around to help, so a graco may be in my future.

Yes Mike, that stain definitely looks marvelous !

*Just what I need to cover the outside of my sauna reno. The airless sprayer looked like a huge time-saver!*

Melissa's next Memorial Day or 4th of July gift, a PTO powered generator for the tractor. More powerful (can power most of your house in an outage) and no need to worry about running it to keep the carb clean (more efficient running the diesel tractor), plus doesn't take valuable space in the bucket. Melissa will love you for it, Haha!

Love your channels. Used a sprayer for my privacy fence once, gave my green truck a nice red hue from the over spray blowing in the wind. Nice mess to clean up and a lessen learned.

Luv the music you play makes my joyous

Good morning Morgan's. Awesome puppy reveal last night. I got to get me a paint sprayer. Have many projects, would be real handy. Thanks for the video and have a day.

Hey after you clean that airless you could run a bit of kerosene thru it . keeps things lubed a bit . especially if you dont use it very often . always use the ( throat ) oil also on the shaft seals . keeps them happy also . your puppy is absolutely gorgeous .

That Airless Sprayer is a fantastic addition to your tool, versatile also. The shed coming along very nice. Had used one a long time ago doing some thick heavy paint. Handled it with no problem once thinned down to correct viscosity. Y'all have a safe day and fun with Archie.

I have that exact same generator and it’s great. Mine starts on the first pull every time. I got a Graco sprayer last year to stain our deck and it worked great. I will use it to paint the house next. She’d looks fantastic for sure!

I have the same sprayer from Graco. I've had mine for 3 years and I haven't had a problem with it. The best $350 I've ever spent on painting/staining equipment ever.

So liked this style videos with out the intros and exit videos. Nice and clean this way. Always like to see the family now and then. Until next time.

The stain looks great on the woodshed. Nice work!

I have lots of "pro-tips" on using the Graco, which I'd have generously provided if you'd only had the puppy running around underfoot for my amusement. Love the Morgan clan!

Looks great mike looking forward to your next projects,have a day!

A very unique Mother's day gift.

Hi mike I enjoy so much watching your video that I'll like to meet you and your family some day.

The machine comes with a generic tip. You can buy tips based on what you are sprays and the width of the board (fan width) you need. Search for tip selector on their site. I used to sell, rent, and maintain Graco sprayers. They are a tough little machine.

Had my X5 for about 5-years and love it for internal woodwork, trim, molding painting.....no brush strokes......of course you need to tape of and seal room you are doing, but it does a great job.

Shed is looking great , way faster than by hand . Like the tunes . Hello to Hunter !!

I figured you'd like that sprayer. I love mine. I've only used it once or twice, but it is so efficient, well worth the little bit of waste you get. Shed looks awesome!

I have one for mine and it makes a tremendous difference. Not only does it keep you out of the overspray but you can easily paint ten foot ceilings while standing on the ground. I've had my X5 for over five years and it's definitely a game changer when it comes to painting. I bought mine to paint the house that I and my family built but mostly used by my son in his construction business. You can control overspray by using smaller tips like one starting with a 4. Just take the time to study and understand the tip numbers.

Wow! What a difference, looks great!!!

Shed looks good. Excellent choice on the light oak color. Stay well, say hey to the family and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️

I like it. It looks like that sprayer will actually get product between those siding boards. Once again, good info from the Morgans.

A couple of questions from a novice. Can you comment on the cleanup process. How do you clear the stain out of the feed and sprayer head? What was the bucket of mineral spirits for? Are you using it to dilute the stain to improve flow? Finally, how is the application of stain different from paint? The simple answer may be links to Graco videos that address these questions. I have never used a sprayer which is the reason that I am asking for basic information. Thanks for your video !!

💥 That she’s looks great with a fresh coat of stain on it. I have the Wagner Flexio and I can paint our entire fence in about an hour. It’s a major time savor. I can paint as fast as I can move my arm up and down. Sure beats a brush! *Keep on tractoring!*

Nice Job Mike, Good to see your Trusted Assistant ! HEY HUNTER!

The wood shed looks amazing with that stain on it. Nice job Melissa & Mike!

Wow, that looks great, perfect color!!

Looks great Mike, the sprayer made it look easy.

Y'all should point out that the machine is not wasteful. The waste is just part of spraying open work space like the joists and other framing elements. The spray method probably took less to stain the solid areas like the walls. Just my opinion. Spence in SC

Morning sunshine. Maybe pressure is a little too high for the overspray?

Man that looks nice. Good job Morgan’s.

Mike & Melissa - Another great video. I had an opportunity to use an airless sprayer when helping a guy do some painting. If there's no wind, and you do the masking right on a house project (not something you needed here) it's a great way to go. Very quick, and good even coverage without as much wear and tear on the body. Blessings to the Morgans. Hi there Hunter.

Mike and Melissa, Great videos, I love watching every one. One suggestion from today's video - if you have access to a quick, easy set-up reflector screen, it would help a lot to take the dark shadows off your faces so we can see your eyes under the ball cap, particularly on the bright sunny days and when you are facing into the sun. Thanks again for all you do and for sharing it all with us.

Lookin great Mike I could see the over spray when the breeze picked up.Thanks for sharing your video with us. Hello Hunter. Ed

Nice job Mike, looks great well done.

Now I want a Graco sprayer lol, what a time saver. That color looks awesome. Y'alls videos are addictive. Keep 'em coming Mike.

Definitely the way to go, airless sprayer.

great vid the shed looks great

Big job ahead Mike! Lot’s a fun!

Great! Dad and I have been looking at getting a paint sprayer and this model was at the top of our list, I think I'm sold on it now!

I bought the X5 for my wife to paint a stairwell going into our basement. She is OCD about details and with all the setup and being new with the X5 it was a failure. She started spraying and the overspray was so thick she couldn't see, kind of snow blind with white paint. She needed to turn the pressure down but by that time when was done and ended up rolling it on with an extension pole.

Nice job Mike, looks great!

Sound of a morning dove in the back ground during sprayer set up is cool....

Love that stain color. I spent a lot of years spraying in my body shop. Relatable information. Get a 3M carbon based filter mask with rubberized housing for a good fit. They are in the 20 some to 30 dollar range. Even better yet is the full face mask covering your eyes as well. I need a paragraph to explain all of that. When spraying it is best to edge out the work surfaces first. When you go all around the edges it frames the job, and then you can focus on doing the flat surfaces evenly. Done effectively enough it would all but eliminate the brushing, at least for the most part. I had mentioned that on the header/face panel (You are a perfectionist like I am) you would need to brush a certain area away from where you stopped with the brushing because the sprayer is not going to give you the option of going up to that line finely. It would create a second coat situation which would result in a much darker overlap spot. From the video yes it is a much darker patch. Whether it dries closer to the rest or not is to be seen. One way to correct it is to roller or brush a second coat across the entire header and stop finely along that edge so then everything on the header would have only one second coat. (Where it is overlapped you do not coat that again.) That header is your header. It is the marquee spot on the shed so spending such a little bit of time to make it even makes sense. So yes edging out first, and then combining the ideal head for spray pattern, and being able to focus on overlapping the coats will give you the technique that you yearn for. Perfecting the spray head size will enable you to cover a good sized area without too wide of a spray pattern which wastes a lot of material into the air. Have to play with it to find the sweet spot. When edging out I noticed others advising you to get an extension, ideally you don't want an extension for edging out when the area is easily reachable, but extensions of course are great for big flat areas that are harder to reach.

Looks phenomenal Mike really good job .

Look nice Mike, spraying is the way to go I have a older wagner that has a hopper for the product, they use a lot of material but save time.

Might consider getting one of those sprayers. Looks nice guys!

Time with the tool Mike ... that’s all you need ... time with the tool ... I’ve been working with tools all my life and for me, the instructions, tutorials, and in some instances in person education is all great but nothing has taught me more about using a tool than actually using it over and over ... btw, I think that sprayer nozzle will rotate so you’re always holding the handle vertical ... maybe not ... I have a Graco myself but haven’t used it in a long time ... lastly ... being able to load and haul heavy equipment with a tractor must be a plus ... thanks for sharing your experiences with others

Huge time saver!!

I had an X 7 years ago. You could slide a 5 gallon bucket under it. That was before You Tube and for some reason I didn't have a quick guide like that. I blew paint in my face while priming twice, loaned it out once and it came back full of dry paint. Two things I NEVER do now. I never paint or stain and I don't lend tools!

Your wood shed turned out great and the stain looks super!

I have a graco sprayer. They are great. Just be sure that everyone that borrows it clean it good.

You’re getting there Mike, now just the metal roof to go! Looks great so far. Have a day! 👍😃

Get yourself a painting sock for your head coverage and tyveck suit it will save on clothes and make cleanup much easier.

Looks great. We are in the market and have been a little while for a sprayer. And have been eye balling these for a while. Sounds like a good product.

Love the channel Mike. I was reading through the comments and don't know how you maintain you sanity in dealing with all the safety patrol comments. I get that people are concerned about safety but if we took every safety precaution recommended and those provided by the manufacture, we would never get anything done! I have the same Graco and it sure is a time saver. Oh and one more thing... Don't for get to chock you tires when you get off your equipment. Western PA is hilly and you don't want you stuff rolling away and running over your family or dogs after they've been drinking your used mineral spirits. LOL Keep up the great work.

Mike if you got two of those generators you should sell one and get yourself a Dewalt Dcb1800. It's a 4 bank battery charger or power supply all in one. I love mine! Plenty of videos on it. You could have plugged your Graco sprayer into it and wouldn't have had any noise to effect your video like the generator did. Bonus it small so you can easily take it to the mini cabin if you want to power something out there.

I think you will find yourself buying 5 gallon buckets of stain. Not sure if your model has a second strainer in the handle? Just an FYI If you do any paint products with heavy solids in them, make sure you remove and.clean that strainer as well. We painted houses with Graco sprayers years ago and followed the sprayer with a 3/4 Knapp roller. Very quick application process, and evened out the paint very well. We did 1 barn with stain, board and batten style, rolled all the open areas and followed up with a brush on the corners. Great work on the wood shed. You will be very happy with that sprayer.

Yep, it works a lot better than the pump sprayer. By the way Archie is going to be a handful before long. Thanks

Wood shed Looks good Mike, that sprayer is a time saver, I have x7 I love it, they are worth the money.

It’s so neat to see the project from cutting the trees down to the finished project.
