My two cents if it helps anybody. I found on smaller patches what occurs and causes the paint to look different is... Say you take a 1 gallon can of paint poured into a cut in bucket mini roller and paint the first coat of paint over fresh drywall either hot mud or regular Then you wait for that coat of paint to dry Next you use the same cut-in bucket with the leftover paint (not poor anymore clean paint in from the 1 gallon can) and the same roller and brush then paint your second coat of paint. This is where the problem occurs and acts like "flashing". Stick with me for the explanation... If you were to take a sponge very lightly damp and rub that drywall patch then look at the sponge you will have drywall on the sponge this is what occurred to your first coat of paint. You took your roller and brush rub the drywall patch and then contaminated the remaining paint in the cut-in bucket now your paint is a different color and Sheen. Some people call this flashing; it's not. This is the reason a lot of people say You must use a Drywall primer all Drywall primer is - is cheap paint. If you have a large section to do, use Drywall primer. If you have small patchwork to do use your regular paint. The solution: Use your first coat of paint as primer when you're done clean out your cut in bucket, rollers, brushes and start with fresh paint from the clean one gallon bucket to do your second coats. Let me know if this helps you guys out?

@@MIGHTYX2010 I've always been a believer of "never start or enter a conversation if you can't learn something" so I'm always for learning. I've always just painted hot mud, if I'm doing an entire wall, or job, I'll definitely finish with Plus 3 air dry mud, but for any patches I always paint the hot mud I never seen a reason to come back with like 3 coats (sometimes) of hot mud and add all purpose or plus 3 just to paint it. I never had an issue. But I've always painted one small coat with a cut in bucket and a 4" roller and then I get my pan out and fill with fresh paint for my next coat, or two.

Older hotmudd was different than it is now I've noticed. It did used to flash badly. I srarted, and still do use a semi-gloss first coat. It is a great way to make any patch blend with a wall, or lid, that has many coats of paint. I grab some of the discounted paint cuz it doesn't matter what color it is, as long as it's not way off, either semi or gloss.

As a painter of roughly 20 years, painting hot mud has rarely been an issue for me. On newly drywalled remodels or new homes, I recommend the drywaller uses prepcoat BEFORE any texture is applied. After texture, we PVA prime the drywall and texture, then spray and backroll the finish paint. If they are trying to save as much as possible, you CAN get away without back rolling cheap flat paints, although I do not recommend it. I have never had any issues with painting hot mud or air dry mud on new work. On rare occasions, I have had patches flash. I generally don't attribute that to the mud type, its usually an issue of getting the surface to the right texture and porosity before painting.
@stylicho2 жыл бұрын
What is prepcoat?
@srharris882 жыл бұрын
@@stylicho honestly I'm not sure what it's made from but it's kind of like thinned down mud that applies like paint. It helps with adhesion and makes the walls much more uniform for finish painting. When walls are taped and filled there are usually some areas of the wall board that have no mud, and others that do. It can leave the finish paint to dry uneven. It makes it so the entire wall/ceiling has the same porosity and finish. It also helps with adhesion so it's a win win IMO.

Ive been painting houses professionally since 1997 and from my experience paints are always changing. I had a go to exterior paint i used on literally EVERYTHING. From all my exterior projects to interior trim and cabinets. This stuff was a beast. A shot of black and it would cover literally anything in one coat, of course primed bare wood. All of the sudden I buy 2 five gallon buckets to spray a small exterior and it was literally garbage. Super thin, saggy, and runny. Where before no matter how thick you layed it on it stayed put. Just be careful banking on any one paint. Smaller projects no big deal, but I had a freaking mess on my hands, counting on my go to paint to do what it always done for me.

Been painting over 'hot mud' for 35 years with basic wall paint. As long as you spot prime with your wall paint once maybe twice if its a large patch, then you won't have any problems. I was surprised that 123 flashed so much, might be due to it dries with an eggshell finish, most other primers dry with a flat finish. If you don't do that 'spot prime' and just put 2 coats of wall paint on you will usually notice flashing. Thank you for your experiment.

You can see every spot while the paint is wet. After about thirty minutes or so you can't find any spots even with my flashlight held at a angle. I'm happy that I found your channel about a year ago. I'm a big fan of 5 minute USG hot mud. I take the heal of my putty knife and push in every hole. Then a place a small piece of blue tape beside each hole. That's because after I mix my mud I go so fast I don't have to pay any attention if I miss a hole. I leave the tape on the wall because hot mud is hard to find on a flat white wall. I sand each one with a flashlight pull the tape and ready to paint.

flashing will happen with bad paint, or if it isn't primed (assuming you let the hot mud cure for a good 24 hours).... I've had this happen in the past, different quicksets will have varying levels of flashing. Flashing don't worry me, I've had paint fall off of areas that were painted too soon, in order to knock out a repair quickly, that a customer demanded. Nothing like walking in the next day to areas of paint missing off the wall. Then again, this problem may vary by manufacturer. Another thing that causes flashing is difference of colors of walls, ceilings, floor, etc reflecting all over. We had to change the pain color of a hallway one time, because the carpet color was reflecting off the walls, when we laid a white drop cloth over the carpet, the flashing disappeared. Honestly, I wouldn't use a sealer over hot mud, because unless it is cured & all the moisture is gone, then you would be sealing the moisture behind the paint, giving you a darker color.

Here is my take on what went down. 123 primer has a bit of a sheen to it, meaning it isn't porous and a bit slippery. Your 1st coat overtop will be very thin even skipping a few places, akin to painting/mudding over a semi-gloss surface so your 2 coats was more like 1.3 coats and you had flashing. 123 is a great undercoat for cabinets/trim where you will be applying a melamine or semi-gloss finish but really isn't good for drywall, use a PVA primer/sealer for that. Second, super II is awesome for 2 coats over a minor patch without flashing which is why it is so popular with painters. I would still apply a PVA drywall sealer over any major patch as paint is too thick to penetrate and stick to dusty mud and get a good bond, but for minor touch up patching like pin-holes, minor imperfections, 2 coats super II without primer will get you an even sheen, that's it's whole claim to fame. And as always - pole sand (120 for flat or eggshell/ 150-220 or higher for semigloss) before each and every coat of paint.
@rockstopsthetraffic2 жыл бұрын

Paints vary quite a bit. For some jobs paint and primer works great. But if you need the primer to make the paint stick to the surface it makes no sense putting the primer in the paint. My kids wanted the ceiling in their room sanded. I told them not to but they started the job then realized what a pain in the butt it is to remove the texture from the ceiling, so they left the job to good old dad. It sucked. I don't have a dustless sander. Took several days of sand and then run and breath. And once smooth the paint would NOT stick to the ceiling, it would just peel right off. Paint and primer did nothing. But once I had a coat of just primer on the ceiling the regular paint stuck fine. The same with hiding stains. Oil stains, markers, etc. on walls. Some paint and primer work fine but some the stain will just come through, no matter how many coats you put on. Primer first usually works. The chemicals in the mud may change the texture or color or shine of the paint. Depends on the mud and depends on the paint. Your mileage may vary.

Great topic. I would say different brands of quick setting muds are going to behave differently. I was a taper by profession for 23 years. Always top coated hot mud patches with an all purpose joint compound. Found out about the differences when I moved from AZ to IA. In Iowa, we used to quick set out garages that couldn’t be taped in the Winter, we’d catch them up in the Spring. Unfortunately I don’t remember brand names but the hotmud we used in Iowa was affected by a Plaster Catalyst that made 90 minute mud set in 8 minutes. That same Catalyst acted as a retarder on Hamiltons brand. Actually made it set slower that the specified time on the bag. Totally different chemical make up. So, paint should be affected differently between those two. Anyway, thanks for letting us in on your experiment, keep up the great channel, it’s gotta be helping a lot of folks.

My assumption for the reasoning was always that Hotmud doesn't sand well. When I first started DIY drywall repairs I used hotmud and the results are horrible, flashing for days. But, I didn't go wide enough with my patches, and my sanding was subpar, and I never skim coated an entire surface. That said, I think it's still reasonable to suggest that hotmud is harder for beginners to get a good finish out of, particularly because it's so hard to sand/feather without a full surface skim coat. In that instance, I think air drying mud is a better option.

You get way better hold out painting over 123 the you do conventional pva. I can roll topcoat over a 20 ft long wall primed with 123 and it will stay wet long after I finished. Where as rolling over pva you get maybe 4 feet in width before what you rolled is "touch dry". I've had customers spot prime there own patch work with 123 and it flashed like crazy. But it was because the spots they primed, were actually sealed better then the rest of the wall that had been primed and painted multiple times. The solution was to prime the whole wall in 123 and it came out perfectly.

Good test. But this is a bit of a red herring since you shouldn't skim with setting compound anyway.

The old forum you read, probably referred to faster lower minute hot muds that don’t sand out so well, or at all. Anything under 60 is too hard and not porous enough to ansorb PVA or paints, hence the flashing.

If i don't have any primer on hand for a small repair trim paint or exterior paint works good as a primer.

I think the “rule” means that you need to use primer/sealer, prior painting top coat. I think if you go straight on top coat, will not be good. Would be interesting to see test results on that. Also hot mud needs to be dry prior painting.

I wonder if these apply to textured walls as well since they get textured with regular mud. Also, does not painting patch and paint in one day apply to textured walls. I have done that without problems that I know of

To get a really bright white they typically add blue to the paint. Perhaps the hot mud is accentuating the added blue tint?

Flat paint is the key for first coat over patches, Flat paints absorbs into drywall than sheen paints they stay more on top of drywall

I always paint hot mud, right after I prime first. Never used anything else but paintable caulk for smaller jobs. Are we supposed to use all purpose mud for the finishing? Maybe I need to brush up on more of your videos to do it right. Of course I'm letting my hot mud dry at least several days before paint and primer. Maybe that's the trick, a diyer can actually bide his time on the work needed. A drywaller maybe doesn't.

can you test something for me and let me know if this is a thing. adding 100 grams of quickset 5mins to 1-pound of all purpose. I was told by a "pro" that he does this all the time when he want to patch and paint in the same day.
