Airless Sprayer Tip
When using an airless sprayer shooting stain
(sealer) on cedar siding, log homes, decks, etc I use landscape
fabric to shield the foundation, windows etc. Staple it on and
when your done pull it off. It is usually strong enough to pull
the staples out without tearing (buy the good stuff, you can reuse
it over and over). It does not drip like plastic and holds what
hits it, and isn't a mess to handle when the job is done.
