   • 4. Choose the tip and test the pattern

     For the exterior acrylics discussed in the cedar entry, I commonly start with a 515, subject to the product's requirements.

   • 5. Move consistently and overlap

     Check deposited coating against the manufacturer's coverage and wet-film requirements; I use a wet-film gauge in my cedar workflow.

   • 6. Coordinate the crew and correct wet defects

     On rough cedar, I commonly use a 1/2-3/4-inch roller nap; smoother surfaces call for shorter nap.
