@@chloecat1st you’re welcome. Just keep in mind the caulking should NOT be silicone and this technique only works for small gaps. It’s more of a finishing hack than a caulking hack.

That sprayer was a Greco 395 tall boy (older model)

I believe we were using either Sherwin Williams A100 or Loxon. If we were using A100 then we would have likely been using a 517 or 519 tip. If it was Loxon, we would be using a 523 or 525 tip.

@@jamesclark140 yes sir. And it works perfectly.

@@JC-yb7vc from my experience wall patches don’t always need to be primed with PVA prior to painting. In most circumstances where small drywall patches are done, you can apply two coats of primer and paint in one directly overtop of the patches. However, to make sure you don’t see any drywall patches after the 2nd coat, try “spot” priming your patches with the paint first. (If it’s large drywall patches, I recommend priming with a drywall sealer). This avoids seeing a defect where the drywall patches are made.

@@sakibc1787 I don’t understand the question. Please re phrase.

@@paulhenk8186 I'm a single female by chance not choice and need this information ❤️

Good question, thanks for your comment and info. I think most primers recommend painting (or top coating) within 30 days. I don't know if it can wait 6 months, but I think there's a lot of variables involved: weather, airflow, sunlight, exposure to sunlight... I've painted exterior primed boards that were left longer than 30 days and nothing happened. (I think it's just the manufacturers recommendation) The paint on those boards are still good. I think that oil primers could endure longer duration but I can't confrim. Anyhow, I guess it wouldn't hurt to apply another primer coat in the Sping of next year before you paint....

@@TrustedHousePainter Thanks for your thoughts. My thinking is that an oil based primer will not chalk up like a water based paint. What I learned through all this is that Prep is 80% of the time and work to do a good paint job!

@@dawnd4471 nice. I’m sure you’ll have beautifully painted kitchen cabinets!

@@dawnd4471 what type of countertop? If it’s a laminate countertop you can definitely try it. Of course using a good primer like SW extreme bond, it would work.

@@TrustedHousePainter thank you!!

@@dawnd4471 if you do paint the counter tops please reply and let me know how it turns out.

@@TrustedHousePainter I will indeed. I’m using chantilly lace white for the oak cabinets and I have on 3 coats on my test piece.

Got it, sorry for the confusion. Not sure what allistic means but I'll try to help you out in the comments. It's best to only take a small amount of drywall mud at a time, so that the main container doesn't dry up or get chunky contaminants in it. (this is what most people do - they work directly out of the container) You use the big putty knife to hold the small amount while you use the small putty knife to fill the holes. When you run out, you repeat the process. The good thing about using 2 different size putty knives is so that you have one for the small holes, and one for wider damages. Hope that helps!

@@tylerlong4696 there’s a few on the market but I’ll have to agree with Jack Pauhl’s assessment of BEHR premium plus paint. It’s a good paint and primer in one and hides most tape lines. Benjamin Moore Aura is also I high quality paint and primer in one.

@@JordanCoopersNook thank you! One in 10 get the good reviews.

@@MT13. good question. The idea is to take smaller amounts at a time, so that if you need more you just take from the main container. Any small amount is just scraped off the putty knife into the garbage. Keep the main container clean and free from dried contaminants.

@@TrustedHousePainter ThankYou so much! You don't know how much this helps .. I've done all my research now and I feel fully confident that I can do this...hopefully...Jesus take the wheel! 🤣🙏😬

@@MT13. you got this. No problem.

@@tylerlong4696 unsure what you mean by “moisture control”. What moisture are you referring to?

@@TrustedHousePainter steam from the shower

@@tylerlong4696 no that primer is not designed for moisture control. In fact, I don’t know any primer designed for moisture control. Primers aren’t designed for protection, that’s what paint is for. I recommend applying a kitchen and bath paint - like Ben Moore Aura or SW Duration. Also, the best moisture control is ventilation. (Having windows open and a high quality exhaust fan). I’ve made a few videos about bathroom paint and ventilation.

@@TrustedHousePainter thank you

@@misenuatransformationalrit6485 NO you can’t stain over a paint. Stains soak into the substrate (wood, concrete) rather than sitting on top of the surface (like paint). So if you’re trying to stain overtop of a painted surface it won’t work. However, you CAN apply a solid stain over a paint - but I don’t recommend it. Solid stain products like Superdeck, Flood and a few others have a hybrid formula (latex and alkyd resin mix) that purports to be able to coat overtop painted surfaces but IMO why would you want to? Why not just repaint? Solid stains look and act very similarly to paint, but if you had bare wood, the advantage of using a solid stain is that you don’t need to prime the surface first. You can just apply 2 coats of solid stain directly to the bare wood (whereas most paints require a primer coat first). Hope this answers your question. If you have other paint related questions you can call our toll free line at 1-866-724-6818 anytime and speak to a professional painter. Or send us an email at [email protected] Thsnks for your question.

Thank you 🙏 how about ronseal fence life plus paint and putting stain on top of that as it’s a water based paint finish and with the rain it washes off each year 😮😢😅

@@misenuatransformationalrit6485 what’s the stain product you want to apply? I’m unfamiliar with Ronseal fence life plus products. It’s probably best to consult the paint rep from the store you purchased it from. You can also check the MSDS sheets for e dry products application and guidelines.

It’s silkens stain I want to put on top thank you 😊

@@TrustedHousePainter thank you 🙏

@@-DexterMorgan- brilliant advice. Thanks a lot for your tip. It makes sense because this is a water soluble putty. So when you add a little bit of moisture around the lip, it keeps everything moist so that you don’t get hard dried chunkies mixed in with your fresh soft potty. Thanks again.

@@haddie-c5c it was a lot of work to paint it. Took c2 primer coats and x3 top coats of SW Emerald satin. (Simply white)

@@TrustedHousePainter wow that's insane

@@entice59 I recommend only applying 1 thin coat of paint to the inside panels of the door. If the door is already primed then it’s protected from wet weather. But don’t apply too many coats of paint on the edges.

@@TrustedHousePainter thanks for the reply!

@@matto4539 yes, this is true most of the time. However “sometime this works and sometimes it doesn’t”.

@@jackieberg6354 yes, applying water based paint overtop of oil coatings will likely cause paint failure. Water based paint doesn’t adhere to oil (alkyd) paint coatings. It’s important to note that even applying a primer coat doesn’t guarantee the previous coatings won’t bubble. It’s very common on older homes for new coatings to grip onto the old coatings, which causes the old coating to let go to the wood (substrate) - which causes a bubble to appear. So it doesn’t matter if you prime oil coatings before you apply acrylic latex paints. Many times on older homes, bubbling happens because there’s too many layers of paint and the old wood fibres let go of the old coatings.

@@alexski55 as mentioned in the video, if you have small patches of drywall it’s ok to use the paint and primer in one. However, if you have a lot of new drywall it’s best to use a pva primer first. But if you have lots of left over paint and want to use it up, I’m confident it will work fine.

@@tomdigrazia6645 great tip. Thanks for your knowledge and help!!

Great question. No that is not always necessary when you are staining to a darker color. That's usually when your current wood coating has failed, lost it's color, darkened - or if you're completely changing the color of the current stain. On this project, we were restaining with the same semi-transparent stain, same color and same product - so it was just a quick rinse and scrub brush to remove any dirt and debris (and dead wood fibres). There's a lot of variables involved so without seeing the state of your wood, or the colors you've selected, I can't say for certain.... but if you send text a few pictures of your home along with mentioning this video I can give you a more precise answer. 1-866-724-6818.
