Clear, concise, and to the point! I only have one comment. I did all of this 27 years ago when I moved into my home. Within 5 years all of the oil paint had yellowed! I tried to cover it with latex paint and the paint peeled right off! I finally sanded it, applied Kilz, and then painted it with latex. I will say that I knew of all the steps you mentioned and it was a smooth glass-like finish and it now has brush strokes.

[@arlenmargolin1650]

Back in the olden days we used oil-based primers mostly and when we used them we added almost a one-to-one ratio of penetrol to primer to allow the primer to soak deep into the grain of the wood giving a very long-lasting paint job one of the reasons why paint feels off a house is because it's not sitting into the wood it's sitting on the wood

[@stevel1475]

So can you use Penetrol on latex paint or primer? Would it make the primer soak into the wood than sitting above the wood?

[@johnrobinson1020]

It's easy to get a good finish on a small straight piece of timber but not so easy when painting small intricate pieces of furniture etc; believe me, you wont get that finish unless you spray paint rather than brush. I have been in the building trade and painting nearly 60 years and no matter how you apply with a brush on small tricky pieces of timber a finish like what is shown here just wont happen. Try painting trellis work with oil based paints and see what I mean. As for getting a high gloss on water base paints, it you really want such a finish, paint the article with water based paint and then when its dry, coat it with a clear oil based lacquer or varnish and hey presto you will have your high gloss finish.

I’m watching this for the SECOND time, since her instruction worked so beautifully when I painted my metal front door and used the Flood additive. My front door gets all kinds of praise - glossy, no shadows or lines - just super sharp looking. I am now preparing to paint the interior of a new (white) patio door - painting it black using oil, since the door gets direct sun and the paint needs to be high-heat resistant (i,e., oil!). I can’t tape and spray inside the house, since my wife is very sensitive to aerosol spray fumes. Oil paint offgases too, but not with the same intensity - so THANK YOU, Leah!!!

[@lostinmyspace4910]

years ago I helped someone paint a commercial building that had a lot of flat metal doors, We used oil paint, and added Penetrol to it. We rolled the doors to get the paint on fast, then brushed those doors out to get rid of the nap marks roller leave behind. Brushing helped smooth out the paint, but that Penetrol allowed the oil paint to flow like glass, and it did.You could almost see up your nose. It was great. Oil is great for smooth glass like surfaces like woodwork. Just remember to stroke out your last brush marks with long strokes to even it out.

For 35 years I've been a painting contractor on the Jersey shore and I've seen it all. Her video is spot on. What is missing are some tips to make your acrylic (We don't call it latex anymore) trim enamels level out better is by adding a dry time extender such as Xim. The longer it stays wet the better it levels. Your other option is to use an oil modified acrylic enamel which when done looks just like it was done in oil. The Sherwin Wms, Cashmere is as good as it gets , expensive as hell but worth it. Soap and water clean up. Whatever paint you use always use the best grade brushes such as Purdy and Woosters as they will out last all the rest. You get what you pay for.

[@designer-garb572]

when I first saw the thumbnail for this video I thought "here we go again" but this was great advice, I spent many years painting in the Royal palaces in London and we only ever used oil based paint, I have never heard of paint conditioner, we use white spirit that does the same job (I presume) we also use a spirit/oil based undercoat, instead of a tack cloth we use a lint free rag with white spirit and like you a 240 or 220 grit paper which is sometimes called "inbetween coats" I started out many years ago with pure bristle brushes but synthetic brushes have come a long way, I no longer waste money on Purdey brushes as they have been left behind and no longer represent goood value, I also use a dewalt blower to remove the bulk of the dust before I wipe down as it saves so much time especially with sash windows, we also use an oil based primer before the undercoat and generally do two top or finish coats, the only real difference is that I would not put so much paint on in one go as oil tends to run or vertical surfaces if you are not careful so prefer two top coats. our big box stores here in the UK no longer sell oli based paints but they are still available from proper paint suppliers, also in the UK we do not call water-based paints "latex" though they may be latex paints, I do not like them as they ruin my brushes, but great video with real advice for a change.

[@seejanedrill]

Thanks for commenting. That must have been a very interesting job, painting in the Royal palaces!!

[@seejanedrill]

And I'm curious...what paint did you use in the Royal Palaces??

[@designer-garb572]

Sikkens Rubbol for the exterior woodwork(about a million sash windows), a very nice quality paint. some areas are lime washed and offices get Dulux emulsion, Farrrow and Ball was mostly used a lot in Kensington Palace.

[@SUB0SCORION]

Never thought someone talking about paint can be this intresting! Super informative too

[@LiaMari]

I love using oil for woodwork. I’m using this video to explain this to homeowners. Oil paint lasts so much longer that it’s practical to buy it even though it’s more expensive. Oil paint protects woodwork from more than just moisture, etc, Oil paint is like putting armor on your woodwork. It will stand up in a battle with kids pets and time.

[@Juniorverse]

I’ve always wanted a high gloss white finish on my woodwork. Now i know how to get it! Thanks for the info. You’ve inspired me to try it.

[@Dwatts24111]

Juniorverse Make sure to prepare all surfaces well because high gloss will show all imperfections. Just a tip.

[@pjflintstone9310]

I would suggest using porter glyptex with a 2x tint.

[@MrKnutriis]

I think oil is a pain in the ass. You can achieve pretty high gloss with latex paint that you finish with a high gloss sealer. If you use a spray can for the finishing coat you don't have to be an expert to avoid brushmarks. Test your spray for running to get an idea of how lightly to apply it. High gloss oil on a vertical surface with a brush is truly for the expert painter.

I would add that it is important to strain oil paint before using even if bought new. Also only thin as much as u will use in an hour or so. Clean ur brush every time u mix more. Oil is a lot more work but the results can’t be touched by any latex.

[@MichaelJordan-hn4zd]

Chump Johnson what does it mean to strain paint?

[@chrisj197438]

Michael Jordan You run it through a paint strainer to keep out chunks etc that will form as you are using oil paint.

[@FujishimaAkiko]

Thank you for this! I have an Ikea gate-leg table that definitely needs repainting. I have the solid birch version of the table and had painted the surface and drawer fronts with acrylic paint and then coated it in several layers of poly because I'm sensitive to strong smells, but I see that going with oil is definitely worth it for the end results. Because, even though I had stripped the the factory poly off and prepped the entire table, over time chunks chipped out of the paint. I had hand painted a large mandala on the top of the table which took over a month of work. I've been hesitant to repaint because how upsetting it was that all my hard work had been ruined over time. I will definitely be using oil paint on the legs and the drawers. The top of the table is going to get an epoxy resin pour to look like the ocean.

[@heidis3993]

I am so happy to have come upon a song of praise for oil paint! One thing that I had noticed is that it makes a door, say, look so vividly wood-y. You explained that this is because the oil paint soaks in to the wood. The second thing I love about oil paint is that it "gets together with itself" while drying, which I have since learned is called "self-levelling." Probably this is due to the long dry time. And there is a third point: I have found it cheaper than latex paint because much less is used. I can paint a small room with one $12 quart of Rustoleum. As for mineral spirits, I let used mineral spirits sit, so that the solids fall out, and then decant the clear liquid from the top, and re-use it, again and sagain.

My first chair wasn't prepared properly and had a dappled surface, not glass. 2nd and 3rd chairs had the glass-like appearance after I properly prepared the wood (sanding 220 grit) and used a tack cloth. Product I used was the Minwax oil stain & polyurethane. 2 light coats and it was done!

I restore boats, specifically older Boston Whalers. A number of the components like seat risers etc are made of a molded plastic material that gets very dull and lifeless looking after some time. I stumbled on using Penetrol several years ago to bring back the finish on these pieces. It's kind of like the ArmorAll of restorative materials for molded plastic. After spending weeks doing bright work on the teak and mahogany parts of these old beauties, it's nice to have something that can make these acrylic parts pop. Oh yea, and it makes a great paint treatment also!

I never use gloves cuz it makes more of a mess.,, when I get paint on my hands I feel it on my hands and I wipe it off with a rag but when I wear gloves I don't feel it on the gloves and I end up getting it all over everything I touch
