Summary
This video explains why regular gun sock replacement is important and how to properly install new gun socks. Gun socks prevent overspray buildup, which can negatively affect gun performance, linear bearings, fittings, spray patterns, and finish quality.
Quick Guide

Installing New Gun Socks
Use stretchy, open-ended hosiery-style material.
Stretch the sock over the entire gun arm.
Wrap and tie off the top and bottom securely.
