So pleased to see you mention long painting strokes! I shake my head at some DIYers using terrible painting techniques. The railing looks great.

I'M SO GLAD I FOUND YOU! I left Instagram a few years ago and you were the one person I missed seeing. So that's why I'm so glad to have found you on KZbin 😁 GOD Bless You Sarah ❤

[@GraceInMySpace]

Yay! So glad to reconnect here!

[@JESUSlovesyouall]

@@GraceInMySpace Yes I agree 😁

[@helenk5579]

thanks, I didn't realize what a de-glosser was...liquid sandpiper...looking forward to kitchen reveal!

[@GraceInMySpace]

I'm glad it was a helpful tip!

[@priyakumar9331]

Hey thanks so much your video was really helpful. I just did my staircases following your tips. It looks amazing . Thanks ❤

[@GraceInMySpace]

You are so welcome!

[@wyoag12]

Super helpful! Thanks! Especially the tip on doing inside first. I would have totally leaned on wet paint. 😆

[@GraceInMySpace]

I’m glad it was helpful!

[@dawniamorales3770]

Beautiful work as always! ❤️

[@GraceInMySpace]

Thank you so much!

[@goodehome]

Thank You! I have a rail in my landing upstairs that has needed sanding and it's caused me to avoid redoing the entire space for about 3 years.

[@GraceInMySpace]

Now you can do it in a day! Good luck on the project.

[@amcab1625]

Very timely tip. Thank you!

[@GraceInMySpace]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@Pervydachny]

Hello! Thank you for the interesting video. I wish you and your loved ones happiness and good👌👌👌🌻

[@tomoffinland74]

Thanks for this helpful video. So you can apply the deglosser on top of old paint?

[@GraceInMySpace]

Yes! It won’t strip the paint but will remove the sheen.

[@danielle3735]

Great job! I thought you were going to paint the railings black!

[@jbailey1889]

That’s my plan. Black will be 🔥

[@nilsakruse2848]

Thank you…looks great !

[@GraceInMySpace]

Thank you so much!

[@TurboMan942]

Thanks for the vid! Did the liquid sandpaper leave a rough finish after everything was primed and painted?

[@GraceInMySpace]

Nope, not at all!

[@rmcar549]

Liquids de-glosser has an extremely strong, powerful odor. You need to have windows open, fans on, air circulating.

[@carmendetweiler2814]

Looks great!

[@GraceInMySpace]

Thank you so much!

[@TiffanyHam-g7m]

what do you use to clean after? does wiping the rails off for cleaning make the paint look/feel different?

[@GraceInMySpace]

I just dust with a dry cloth. If they get grimy then I use branch basics.

[@musictouchurheart]

Thank you. What to do if you were to repaint the white spindles? do you need to sand it all off, or lightly sand, or simply use the same liquid you used for the handrail? It made me really want to repaint ours.

[@GraceInMySpace]

It depends on if the previous paint is oil or latex. I’d prime and then repaint. No sanding needed unless it’s a high gloss paint!

[@Spedteacher2020]

I am planning to do this. I feel the need to take a saw and cut off the top knobby thing on the main post to make it more modern (hope that makes sense)

[@GraceInMySpace]

That's a great solution!

[@hersheybee3310]

Can this be used on kitchen cabinets?

[@GraceInMySpace]

Yes, absolutely! Though sanding would be preferred if you have a thick varnish. Here’s a tutorial without sanding! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqLTfHtqZrCmorssi=aWP3JwE0quXntSrj

[@trinaroe5132]

My dad used to use liquid sandpaper on trim whenever he repainted because he always painted trim in semigloss. I don’t remember if he used it when repainting the kitchen. I have a living room that was painted a pale creamy yellow semigloss and I’m wondering when I get ready to strip wallpaper and repaint the ceiling flat white if I need to use liquid sandpaper and if there’s a faster way to apply it. Would it drip all over if it was applied with a roller? Or could I cut a rag to soak that’s big enough to wrap around a floor Swiffer? Any ideas?

[@GraceInMySpace]

I wouldn’t apply it to walls. It would just be a drippy mess. I’d prime the walls with a high adhesion primer before painting. 😁

[@SarahsOctoberHome]

Sarah, the white looks so pretty. 🤍✨

[@GraceInMySpace]

Thank you my friend!

[@jafallica]

What did you use for a topcoat? Looks great!

[@GraceInMySpace]

Thank you! I use semi gloss enamel in White Dove.

[@lisaroselouise]

My entire house is 90's oak - some of it I love but there is a lot that needs to go 🥴would this method work for baseboards, window trim and doors?

[@GraceInMySpace]

Windows, and trim, yes! That is the method I've used for my whole house. For doors, I still like to sand since they can get beat up so easily and sanding provides the best adhesion possible.

[@lisaroselouise]

@@GraceInMySpace Yahoo!! Thank you :)

[@andviv]

It’s been a year since this nice project. How’s the painting holding up so far?

[@GraceInMySpace]

No issues!👏🏻

[@megc7001]

Which primer did you use? The link is no longer connected to a product on amazon 😕

[@GraceInMySpace]

Kilz, Zinsser and Bin are all great options!

[@brandi26]

Is this different then Krud cutter

[@GraceInMySpace]

Yes it is.

[@JillWargo]

[@meirzibran5158]

😮😮😮 ❤❤

[@jeanhuelsman1766]

Caused paint to crackle! Help!

[@GraceInMySpace]

What caused it?

[@Lm23457]

Same, the whole thing is pretty much ruined and scratches easily. I must’ve did something wrong.

[@jayne1265]

Hi honey, you have somebody promoting porn videos in the comments! Might want to block them…😉

[@GraceInMySpace]

Hmm...I can't see any! Hope KZbin took care of them for me!

[@atedogs]

Very helpful, you need to wear eye protection and at least a paper face mask this product can be really harmful.
