@loui425 I always try and minimise the amount of joints as there is no other benefit of ganging horizontally if you are painting. I use wallrock smooth now if I am painting due to the rolls being up to 1 metre wide and having less joints on the surface compared to 55cm width standard linkng paper

@rachaelvann379 hi Rachel, lining paper was originally used in preparation for wallpapering only. Any type of wallpaper including lining paper needs a surface to be flat, smooth and sealed for best results. Diy'ers tend to try and hide imperfections in surfaces with it to minimise the preparation part of decorating which is the most important part, basically cutting corners to save time & .money....but it doesn't work properly or for long enough. If you check all small print/instructions in regards to applying any type of wallpaper included lining paper it will clarify what I have said. Applying lining paper over surfaces that are not level, flat, filled where needed and not sealed is the one reason you don't use it....one of the first things we learnt in college

@@JoeProDecor thank you so much for explaining this to me

@gulsameer2921 Hi, I cannot recommend Johnstones trade Aqua guard primer enough. Part of a fantastic Johnstones trade Aqua guard system that offers a matt, satin or gloss finish .

I always brush on quickly and lay offxwith a brush . I use staalmiester smooth on woodwork

Yes that is the way forward...lasts even longer if you use masonry paint for both the panels and posts 👍🏻

I still cross line in the same way

Thexwalls we're lined to create even porosity for paintv to adhere consistently. All surfaces should be flat and free from nibs, bumps and contamination before lining , but this was a rental accommodation that required a budget job not a professional finish.

Hi, the old scuff x and Aqua guard debate aye?..lol......well ....first of all , shortly after I made this video ppg brought out the Aqua guard satinwood and I tested it straight away. In fact I had the opportunity to try it before it hit the shelves and I was converted straight away and I've been using it ever since. I have actually tested them both side by side, but what converted me instantly was the fact Aqua guard was,a much brighter white....id noticed that scuff x was looking off white compared to some wall's I'd painted in brilliant white Acrylic durable matt and isomat premium. In the tests I did, the durability of the aqua guard was better, and it held up to hand grease better than scuff x. Aqua guard also had similar adhesion going straight on, although I prefer a 3 coat system over old oil. I did use caparol haftprimer for a few years under it but have recently started using the new Aqua guard primer/undercoat....which is just as good but find even better on new work. I do like the finish on the scuff x eggshell....but actually now use isomat if I require eggshell as its much better value for money. All.in all, the Aqua guard system is superior in so many ways....value for money, finish, durability and opacity.......people think scuff x has,amazing opacity....but that's only because they only do off white colours.....I tested Aqua guard in both super white and cgantilly lace , and both were better opacity than the scuff x imo. I've also used the new Aqua guard matt on a couple of jobs and that's really good gear too 👍🏻 The only advantage for anyone thinking of using scuff x , is that it's foolmproof to apply...its more like a diy product ...non drip ect......and if someone wants to bodge a job in just two coats....the self priming marketing phrase used can give some people the confidence to get away with it....lol....

@@JoeProDecor my local paint outlet hasn't yet got the new Aqua guard primer/undercoat.. this was the one I wanted not the Joncryl . I am now facing a decision to use Everal 40 which has great reviews, but i'm unsure about the white. from pictures the white seems dull. it' The whites are a vague selection in everal 40. The more I research the best paint to use, I keep coming back to AG . AG has no negative comments yet Vs all the other paints. If I can't get my hands on the new Aqua guard primer/undercoat. I may go for a half primer instead. Your reply was very helpful. You obviously have tried and tested and reviewed paints. you know your paints ! thanks for the help 🤩

The “Hook and Hold” system was patented by Wooster and it was their design team who created the feature! Come on, mate.

That's usually down to insufficient preparation work and lack of a good adhesion primer ontop.of old oil based paint. If the surface is cleaned and sanded, and a coat of primer is applied, it will never peel the paint off
