lapping each stroke by half.
Spray Shield
Use Sample Spray Shield to help shield ceilings and floor
boards from spray. The Sample Spray Shield is intended
to introduce you to the benefits of a spray shield. Visit
your local paint supplier for larger spray shield solutions.
1. Apply a layer of masking tape
approximately 4 inches wide to
edge of spray shield. Change tape
when paint starts to accumulate
on spray shield.
2. Grasp shield firmly through han-
dle grip with one hand.
3. When spraying, use shield
to prevent paint from getting
on ceiling or adjoining walls.
4. Move the spray shield as
you move the gun to protect
surface.
