Great video... I can see how much you love the trade by your consistent attention to detail in every video, as I watch so many of them on your channel I’ve noticed a few people mention ASMR qualities to your videos.... if you KZbin Bob Ross the artist.. there are definitely similarities to the way you both come across and the noises of the paint rollers and brushes etc. Chillin out and watching a fellow painter at work... priceless haha! Take care matey!

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thanks, yes have watched some of Bob Ross..

[@plainjane382]

What great timing. Just waiting for plaster to dry and was looking for tips on painting newly skimmed plaster. Great video as always and I've learned loads watching you guys. Thanks so much.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thanks

Great video. I am in the process of painting our kitchen (new plaster). I have done a mist coat with layland trade contract Matt. Do I need to water down the second coat of the same paint ? Or can it be used without watering down. ? Thank you!!!

[@PaintingandDecorating]

You can use it without adding water for the second coat, but still don't have your paint too thick. Sometimes after a mist coat you're better using a more durable paint in a kitchen. Thanks

[@mattd6495]

@@PaintingandDecorating thank you. I want to add that second coat. But then the final coat I have a kitchen durable paint (washable etc). So the second coat of the Leyland will only be topping up the first cost if that makes sense?

[@nataliegreenan2297]

Hi thanks for the video! What do you recommend if part of the wall is plastered and part not. Should apply the emulsion to the whole area? I noticed that the paint shades are coming out differently. How do you get around that?

[@MOPARdave999]

Sound advice as usual! Keep 'em coming. Best Dave

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Thank you.

Another great vid for tips. 1 question. The metal beading edge, will paint adhere ok or worth priming with something ?

[@tonymcgrath8890]

Great advice 👍

@@tonymcgrath8890 thank you.

[@berusbogzniszczenia4359]

Good video. Im painter in UK afew years. Not many like you. Nice job ❤

[@paulwilson1555]

Do the metal beads need a metal primer, or will regular emulsion adhere to the metal bead?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Usually they are fine.. but if they have started to rust, you will need a primer.

[@paulwilson1555]

@@PaintingandDecorating brilliant, thank you for all your great help and advice, very much appreciated.

Great video the key to a good job is preparation stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻

[@Sue-o8d]

Can I use deluxe primer then duluxneasy care to paint ,y bedroom

[@PaintingandDecorating]

No need to prime if your going over emulsion just clean and sand, then two coats of your easy care.. thanks

[@philsheldon2737]

Good video and tips, how do you prep and paint the inside corners where plasterers tend to finish off by brushing the plaster? Leaves horrible surface!

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Sand and fill bad areas. Thanks

[@DjGiluk]

Helpful, thanks

[@briancoughlan4287]

Does anyone prime the anglebeads as part of preperation anymore

[@davecharlesworth8176]

Can I have some words of advice from a master please. Recently moved into a 1930's property where the previous owner has plastered the walls. The paint is coming off like wallpaper. I have now stripped the paint off and the plaster has a faint white washed appearance. Here the questions 1) is this his mist coat, if so can I pva it and then do another mist coat? 2) do I just do another mist coat or a normal strength white emulsion coat? 3) planning on using an egg shell finish, so will this stick and not peel off like a face mask? Really appreciate your advice, cheers

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Clean back, then sand, diluted PVA and then you should be good to go. Thanks

[@davecharlesworth8176]

Painting and Decorating guess what I'll be doing tomorrow thanks for the advice

[@PaintingandDecorating]

@RAVEN AK47 35 years experience and doesn't understand that diluted PVA soaks into plaster and does not form a skin on the surface... watch this video this will help you understand your materials better.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZfSdpSMa8mmoKc

[@PaintingandDecorating]

@RAVEN AK47 wrong again eggshell thinned down oil or water will absorb into the plaster... but keep away from silk

[@PaintingandDecorating]

@RAVEN AK47 lol is that plaster no and is that thinned paint no... you do make me laugh and you actually nearly had me believing your a tradesman.

[@justintemp]

Do you do same for rooms like garages where blemishes aren't that important as it's a garage. High ceilings and large walls make it a pain to mist and paint 😂

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Yes. Thanks

[@craigguinnane173]

If I use contract matt to seal the fresh plaster am I able to use any paint for the finish mate

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Yes, diluted contract matt then any finish.

[@craigguinnane173]

@@PaintingandDecorating nice one mate

[@Lloyd1885]

Contract matt doesn't seal anything, it isnt permeable, it primes the surface really. New deep bare plaster shouldnt be sealed as it may trap any moisture, which could the paint to blow.

[@johncoppock3823]

Top video and lots of great tips. What's your dilution on the mist please, and was that wall also sealed with PVA first.

[@johncoppock3823]

@Alza 74 Think it may be an economics point. I would go for dilute paint I think on new plaster myself, but might not always be best choice for some. I do like dilute PVA in lots of other areas, to seal dust before you fill with mortar/plasterboard joint filler etc. Etc. So I keep a bottle mixed up, about 10 to 1 water to PVA.

[@DB-kv5mb]

Never use pva on new plaster , a 40% mist coat sinks right into new plaster, pva seals the surface so paint sits on pva and is likely to peel especially in bathroom

[@jacopo.scarpellini]

I’ve just applied a mist coat of Wickes White Emulsion, 4 part paint to 1 part water; after drying, I’ve tried to wash out the coat with a wet sponge and it can be removed quite easily; is this normal or a sign that I should redo the mist coat with a different paint or mixing ratio?

[@PaintingandDecorating]

Nothing wrong. Mist coats can easily be re wet. Once a better paint goes on top it will be more solid . Unless you use just normal Matt . Especially contract Matt.. thanks

[@jacopo.scarpellini]

@@PaintingandDecorating thank you, that’s reassuring

Do you ever airless spray? You see a lot of US channels do this. Especially in new build. Thanks for the tips.

[@PaintingandDecorating]

No, if I was doing this all the time maybe. Thanks

[@ratchriat1716]

that's what I call a old shool.

[@TheGatesOfFire]

Which pile is best for a smooth finish? Did they not have windowsills put in, just plaster?

[@TheGatesOfFire]

@RAVEN AK47 it's skimmed plaster that I've skimmed myself. ive got it smooth but not flat/level if you know what i mean. i was thinkin I'd put on screfix's no nonsense trade bare plaster then something like dulux flat emulsion. all to try and make it look as flat as possible. cheers

[@TheGatesOfFire]

@RAVEN AK47 cheers mate. I've just seen good reviews about the no nonsense from people who bought it on screwfix. they say its like applying a filler etc. what do you think about the flat emulsion? does it help conceal uneven walls?

[@TheGatesOfFire]

@RAVEN AK47 i was curious about the thickness for best finish. i had a female slave once paint some walls and they were ruined. i think the pile was too long.

[@2010gtoner]

Why do you think every roller sleeve regardless of the napp always stands up like a buck goat nearest the roller frame? I see it everywhere regardless of which hand you use, properly there's a slight weight agustment that's heavier on the frame side of the sleeve.., anyway without a clue, Great vid mucker x
