   • 7. Inspect and correct the finish

2. Entry 005Airless Spraying: Setup, Tip Selection, Application, and Cleanup

   • 6. Coordinate the crew and correct wet defects

     The helper watches for runs, excess paint, holidays, and bubbles, and checks surrounding surfaces for overspray.

3. Selecting Brushes and Roller Covers

   • 9. Check tool condition and the finish early

     Inspect the result while there is still time to correct the tool choice. Look for excessive roller texture, uneven marks, shedding, and holidays in recessed areas. Check for flashing as the finish dries.
