What Brush Is Best For Fence Painting
Best Paint Brush
I used to clean and maintain fences professionally. That meant using a pressure washer. As indicated, they can do a lot of damage and do it very quickly.
Pressure washer tips come in colors to aid in choosing the right tip for the right job. Think of the red tips as carving tips, because they will carve your fence very quickly. So, unless your hand writing is very good and you intend to carve your name in your fence or siding, avoid them.
Too, when cleaning soft things like wood, avoid the rotary heads. They will just make your washer a better carver.
My pressure washer is an industrial version. The pressure at the tip is around 4,000 pounds per square inch [PSI]. That is well above the average pressure washer sold for home use. In spite of those numbers, mine has, successfully, and safely cleaned a lot of siding and fences.
The reason I am able to use a high pressure system without damaging wood is, I use the widest tip available. Usually, this is the WHITE one. The fan produced by the tip spreads the pressure out, rather than concentrating it.
Keep in mind, you can still carve with the white tips, otherwise you they would not remove the old , loose finish and UV damaged surface wood.
Key to avoiding carving is, DO NOT pull the handle with the wand pointing at the wood, AND start cleaning with the wand at least two feet away, until you get the feel for what is that happy spot for cleaning. That, probably, will be about a foot and a half down to a foot, depending on your unit.
Another critical thing to remember is, do not point the wand at windows or anything you do not want to destroy when pulling the trigger. In my years of pressure washing, I've had a lot of tips launch from the wand, never to be found. Had the wand been pointing at a window, it would have broken it.
Of course, it's good idea to choose your target so, if the tip does launch, you'll know where to find it.
When done right, the wood may fuzz up, but that is because of the water, rather than the pressure of the unit. This is a common problem in wood work, since even water based stains will raise the wood.
The problem of raised wood is often solved by raising the wood on purpose, letting it dry, then sanding it, after which the water in the water borne stain will not raise fibers and grain.
