on 3/25/2009 Not everyone has a HPLV sprayer to use to finish their wood. I wish this video would have shown the mixture he used to seal, what sprayer, maybe some more details. The video skips a LOT of set-up for the sprayer and testing for pressure and flow.And, since MOST people entering into DIY projects do not own an HPLV, then posting an alternative to using a sprayer in order to finish your wood piece would be really helpful.
