Dug out my airless sprayer this morning, hooked it all up and sprayed some water through it to make sure there were no clogs. Put the suction tube in the 5 gallon bucket of paint, and primed the pump. First test spray on some cardboard, and the high pressure hose ruptured and covered me in paint, head to toe! An hour in the shower with pumice orange hand cleaner helped, but I'll be spotted for days! Thankfully no injury. New hose ordered... #DIY

@StaceyCornelius Me too, and that's why I had unvented goggles on so at least I didn't get any in my eyes. My beard on the other hand...

@GoatsLive great. So you look like you fell in a mud puddle … at best.

@GoatsLive We had an advertisement in my country for a utility vehicle.🚚
The actors all experienced events such as you describe. Their response was "Oh bugger!"
Caused quite a stir to have swearing on an ad, but it certainly struck a chord with me😉
