Do you have problems with the tape pulling finish off the wall. I have had that issue in the past.
@XCPainter2 күн бұрын
@jasonarmstrong2119 Tape Pull/Paint pull, is an indicator of issues that may have happened at one of the previous steps, product choices and/or environment.. like painting in a colder new construction sight can affect absorption and adhesion of primer or topcoats... Also timing of the coatings, and when the tape is pulled matter. In my opinion, I like to let things dry out before puling tape. If everything is done correctly, with proper dry times and prep, tape pull should be rare.

Getting material on the wall Seems to be the age old issue.. Hard to believe how much time Is wasted on reloading and reloading to get the material on the wall… I dont know though.. Actual time in clearing, masking, And environment in which you Work (PPE) doesn’t seem to be a real savings..

It's definitely, absolutely a massive time saver to spray and backroll, with the process that we do those particular jobs... it's easier, faster, and much more feasible to prime and topcoat 3 floors worth of brand new drywall, mud, and texture by way of pressurized spray.

Youre dope bro. I paint cars and this weekend i took a newly remodeled realty office interior side gig for some quick cash. I royally F'd that ceiling up right after i sprayed it perfectly. This happened because i was short on time with the rental sprayer and decided to do the sumbest thing possible in painting... skimp on prep! Yes, im a jackass. Ill never make this mistake again but it also reminded me of something valuable that i learned in wyotech; prep is (at minimum) 95% of a perfect paintjob! Masking is a big part of that and YOU my man, you are a pro masker. You wrapped that shit like a christmas present and i would trust you to mask a valuable car for me any day!

I might've missed if it got mentioned but do you ever have issues with paint peeling when removing the tape?
@XCPainter5 ай бұрын
Paint peeling happens rarely. There are a few factors involved if and when that happens... if substrate like drywall etc was too cold, damp, or too hot when products were applied. If the primer was worked into the surface on applicable surfaces... same with topcoats. Quality of products, product application timing, tape removal timing, environment or humidity when pulling tape, type of tape etc. in general, peeling paint is indicative of a problem somewhere and can be attributed to products with poor adhesion, poor prep and cleaning, non ideal environment, or ineffective procedures.

@checkmate4213 if you're spraying and backrolling a level 5, the client has to be okay with roller stipple, or approve the roller nap so they are happy. To avoid flashing, you have to avoid getting overspray back onto a surface or corner that was rolled already, and focus on each wall with a smaller tip too... Or you can go with no backrolling if client approves. Use appropriate spray tip for job scope and time allotted.
