Master Painting Wood Trim

[@bsfbestshortfilmsonyoutube]

Hello. Could you please give me your best advice on choosing the most durable water based for my wooden framed windows? Using 80 grit sandpaper I spent hours & days hand sanding x 4 wooden sash window frames. I sanded off old layers of yellowed gloss leaving behind a thin layer of gloss which I can now see the wood grain through. I now have trust issues finding the most durable water based paints for my interior. I want to be 100% sure I am choosing the right paint system so I don't have to re-do all my efforts ? I am new to water based paints. So how would I go about this ? Do I need to prime ? uncoat ? Please tell me the most professional trustworthy durable pants recommended with the longest lasting effect ? Regards Micheal

[@TheFkman]

Yeah chaulk , great tip. Thanks for taking the time and effort to show us.

[@Idahopainter]

You are welcome Frank!

It's not possible to get a smooth finish just by sanding the Crawford spackle? Or put another way, if the finish looks smooth after sanding the Crawford, is there any reason to still use the Bondo putty? Thanks.

[@erigala7439]

Hello! In my experience you can get a smooth finish with just spackle, but if you spray some primer on it you'll only see what needs to be "spot checked" with red glaze putty and not waste time and product on every nail hole. Everyone has different methods. Hope this helped :)

[@jonathantullock6922]

Has part 2 been done? I'm looking for it.

[@jamiedorsey4167]

Really great and to the point video! One recommendation would be to not wipe your putty knife back into the container. It will tend to gather dried chunks that mix in with the fresh stuff. I like to hold a bunch of spackle on a 3 inch knife and apply it with a 1 inch and scrape it back and forth between the two.

[@Idahopainter]

Good tip Jamie

[@maverick-zj3jz]

Never put used sparkle back in your can instead put it on a wider knife and dispose of unused sparkle.use yellow chalk red or blue bleed through the paint!!

[@scottychainsaw5866]

Sparkle? Lol

[@VivaLaGolf42]

Used blue line chalk on drywall and painted over for years. Red I’ve always heard bleeds through. Gonna try on a scrap piece and see

[@Artie6937]

If the architraves are pine this would work, but I always use a electric sander because the builders use mdf, around the nail swells and to get mitres that are uneven it’s faster and easier for me,

[@Idahopainter]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@xbrizzcakez]

40 years in the painting trade and I couldn't`t disagree more with your product choice. The Crawfords is a lightweight product with no strength at all, then to top that with bondo glazing putty is unusual at the least, you are engaging two totally different products and hoping they bond together, I would have just second coated the nail holes with the spackle instead of the glazing putty. The glazing putty is formulated to skim over Bondo to fill tiny imperfections. Your presentation is spot on but the product choices are questionable.

[@EpicHeavyStuff]

Do you ever just use Crawfords putty we always used it outside and on base and crown inside but used that pink spackling on door jams n window casing

[@Idahopainter]

Yes, we've used that!

[@theresasatterfield2828]

Love the tip about adding line chalk. Thanks

[@caledoniadreamin6435]

That is one EXCELLENT video. You certainly have a talent for explaining things. Audio and Video both done well. Some many youtube videos lack one or the other, or both.

[@svtlex4187]

Put spackle in a little plastic ball tare a little hole . It won’t dry n u can squeeze n use what u need

[@mrb9830]

Great video, thanks. I am decorating a rental property and want to spray a gloss to my trim for durability - have you any tips on tips :-) and are there any problems with using a high viscosity/ quick dry paint? im concerned I will have to water it down so much it will lose its quality

[@michaelchicago9400]

Thanks for the tips. Where is the second video? Did you spray to get the glass finish? .

[@joserenteria7567]

Whats the difference between caulking and spakle?

[@Idahopainter]

caulking is flexible filler for cracks. Spackle not and if for holes.

[@joserenteria7567]

Thank you!

[@svtlex4187]

We would put putty let it try . Spray undercoat sand go back with a flash light n spackle then finish

[@markwigley9185]

Another nice informative video Chris. Thanks

[@whitehh15]

What is this window casing called? Modern craftsman or something? I like it.. trying to figure out how big that headers overhang is so I can copy it

[@Idahopainter]

Not sure

[@whitehh15]

@@Idahopainter All good.. eyeballed it.. looking good.. Awesome videos, I've learned a lot

[@thepaintingexpert3585]

Chris, friendly tip you can also mix both together? I also mix Sheetrock 90/45 with plaster! Cheers! The gooseneck guy!

[@Idahopainter]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@labornoting]

I really like how clear and repetive the explanations are, Thanks!

[@adamrobinson5631]

We have always tinted with chalk as well, but I had a master drywaller tell me one time to never ever use chalk. He says the chalk will compromise the finish of the mud, instead use tint, he says use yellow and that way it wont be hard to cover. Thought that was interesting.

[@Idahopainter]

Interesting, thanks for sharing Adam!

[@honesthomebuyersdotca]

What do you mean by "tint"?

[@adamrobinson5631]

Quick House Buyer paint tint. You can get it in the little half pints at the paint store.

[@xp3labs]

I have a question about the deglosser and it pertains to the way it is applied and how you guys go about applying it when you have a big house full of trim to degloss. Thanks

[@Soccer_in_the_210]

Loved this short sweet specific video. Easy titled as well so if I ever needed to come back to it I can find it versus listening through other videos where u cover trimwork within a larger project.

[@briansnyder9496]

I’ve recently installed some wainscoting in my dining room. Would you use the spackle and then bondo on the butt joints as well?

[@karynm3365]

Great information-thank you! Do you need to prime over the bondo or just paint it?

[@rudyrudy6776]

Very good question! I came across the same issue just earlier today😎

[@nnelg6587]

I also want to know this!

[@kuellc5612]

Are you using the bondo instead of spackel or in addition to?

[@Idahopainter]

In addition too

[@MaydaysCustomWoodworks]

Hey Chris, thanks for the tips. I am always hungry for more little tips and tricks here and there. I got the suggestion from one of my woodworking friends who is a master craftsman to start using USC glazing putty. You are right. It goes on like warm butter and dries in about 5 minutes. Perfect finish and sands great. But it likes to shrink quite a but. Have you ever tried the USC glazing putty? I'm curious to how it stacks up with the Bondo brand

[@jaywire2097]

Het mike im glad u ask. Yes i have used thr putty before it works great. Thanks for watching the vids

[@jimmypickett9912]

Define the grit of medium grit sanding sponge please.

[@endlessmindset8808]

What about the cracks where the boards come together? Do you just caulk those and wipe with wet sponge?

[@Idahopainter]

No

[@nnelg6587]

I spackle cracks

[@LE1Dreamer]

I being doing this for a long time! Awesome finish

[@ColdWarVet607]

I don't understand why you wouldn't use the just the bondo?

[@staw1718]

You should make a video on how some of your videos differ from now. Like what New techniques and technologies/ sciences have changed from then. 🙄 just saying greeting from a union painter in New York. #Dc9

[@Idahopainter]

That is a good idea, thanks for sharing!

[@jayrob7418]

Great idea! Greetings from a Union painter from the "Windy City" Chicago.

[@MrXSuperstitionX]

3M 100 grit sand paper and Crawford’s wood putty. Same results, 10x faster.

[@bailey2624]

everyones going with this trim now i love it! so easy to to paint and prep. i did have this weird issue happen with painting the trim with emerald urethane. Air bubbles would form. i did get primer on the trim so maybe it was the primer since it was drywall primer , lowes brand. didnt seem to have the issue with painting over the pre primed from the factory. also this paint like to run easy as heck when its humid

[@bailey2624]

btw who ever that builder is used the wrong nails they should use smaller ones those holes are massive man

[@josephmorrison3165]

hey Chris, love the videos! abit of topic.. would you be able to share some tips on cleaning a graco secondary filter ( 695 pc for example. the filter on the unit not the gun) no matter what I do I still get a tiny bit of paint residue left inside... thanks mate!

[@edgarzavala83]

i run water in the gun and prime hose first then release the pressure and unscrewed the filter thing and put pressure, then put the filter and screw it back and keep running more water

[@DrDocDRM]

I use a tiny drop of universal tint for putty - same thing I do to for 2nd coat of mud on drywall. Raw Sienna

[@Idahopainter]

Thanks for sharing!

[@lazydadsgarage]

Chris, one question, why both spackle and glazing putty? Why not just the putty? Is there concern it won't bond or it'll crack when put on thicker?

[@Idahopainter]

The glazing putty shrinks

[@Lenser]

Why not use painters putty?

[@kylegoodman5196]

What do you guys think of the 3M Patch+Primer spackle?

[@joegholson6790]

Good for small areas..I use it for my touch ups and final pass. Drys quick & the primer helps hide..

[@XCPainter]

3m patch and primer is horrible. Hard to use, crumbly, dries on putty knife way too fast, hard to sand flat, still flashes through paint.

[@brianreese9318]

O yeah works great

[@ToNioTru]

You could just use sparkle twice

[@Idahopainter]

If that is what your prefer

[@philipcatuogno2968]

Why not use a nail punch on each head, then come back with spackle? No need for Bondo and extra sanding.

[@gemini022]

I like that red and white hat

[@terrawaitl8350]

What if the builder didn’t do the entire paint job correctly (new construction) and we have now lived in it for 9 months and over these last months you can see just how crappy the job they did is. (Caulk cracks, chipping everywhere, also see red coming through !? Nails coming up (little carpenter nails). Corners look clumpy (was told they didn’t clean good enough) please advise

[@ericlubag443]

What grit sand paper do you sand the bondo with before painting?

[@Idahopainter]

Fine sponge

[@fromthenorthwest]

Hey Chris, is it possible to just do the glazing putty first? Thanks! Really enjoy and appreciate your videos

[@Idahopainter]

No, it shrinks to much

[@johnlimongello5716]

@@Idahopainter you should have used this opportunity to explain that wood filler isn't the best for painting. The process you used is a good system for paint. My only advice is to wipe your filler product on in one direction, and wipe it off in another to reduce underfill and pocking. Thanx for the great videos, and keep up the good work!
