[@nicholashiggins2272]

Hey Scott - a few tips: It looks like you may have small tails running along the outside of each pass. If so this signals the pressure is too low. Dial up the pressure setting on the sprayer and they will go away. Maintain a consistent distance, angle, and speed when spraying. You can practice with water on your fence outside. G enerally about 12" distance from wall but you can confirm the appropriate distance based on the width of paint deposited on the wall and the spray tip being used in the gun. In the US the first # of the spray tip is 1/2 the width of the fan of paint (multiply by 2 for full width). Ensure your arm is moving before pulling the trigger and after you release. This will help you avoid heavier areas at the end of each pass. Overlap each pass by 50%. Look into spraying and back rolling. It's a good technique and to some preferred. Best done with a partner. It can allow you to more evenly 'lay out' the paint as well as apply slight roller texture to the walls. You guys do great work. I always appreciate when you leave in the mistakes, accidents, and moments of learning. -Nick

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

Thanks Nick, I’ll keep these tips in mind if I feel brave enough to try again

[@DildoDaggins69]

@@ScottBrownCarpentry As someone who is not a painter, but decided to paint his entire house with an airless sprayer, I can sympathize Scott, and I'd also implore you to not give up on using a sprayer. There's a steep learning curve, but once you get past that, it's a great tool/method. The tips Nick listed above are gold too. I learned the hard way that each time you start a job, spend a decent amount of timing test-spraying on some scrap to dial in the pressure - it'll save you a lot of time in the long run. Different paints, the same paint that may have become slightly diluted through re-using/cleaning process, different substrates, different moisture/temperature levels - all sorts of factors come into play and make it so that even the pressure setting that was perfect yesterday won't be perfect today. Also, not all tips wear equally - even a relatively new tip can wear out - I've got a 415 tip with hundreds of hours on it that works better than a 415 tip with less than 20hrs on it (same brand too). Also, Resene recently released a water-based Pig. Sealer - might be worth looking into for ease of clean-up and lack of stench.

[@GumbootZone]

I also wondered if his spray tip was the wrong size, intended more for baseboards and trims with a shorter distance from the tip. For large area's like walls, a bigger tip would put on a more solid fan from a greater distance.

[@JohnColgan.]

Surprised to not see more comments about covering the heat pump (I guess because most people's focus is on the paint) Anyway, there is no need to turn it off or cover it! There is no exchange of inside/outside air with a heat pump. A heat pump moves heat through a sealed coolant loop with radiators on each end. The fumes will just pass over the radiator - it cannot damage it or enter the house through it. If you have a minute, look up how they work - it's quite a cool technology! (pun intended)

Over here in the UK we would never use oil on the walls,my son is a painter and decorator and he always uses water based sealer which virtually has no smell and covers well. Thanks for the latest exciting episode.👍👍

[@samt5663]

That's what your son does in the UK.

[@mennovanrij9334]

Water-based in the Netherlands as well. Mostly on plastered walls. The idea is that plaster absorbs a part of the dampness people create inside a house. The water-based paint helps the damp to go through the paint into the plaster. And plastered walls simply look cool! That splash panel behind the kitchen wall looks awesome!

[@hookenz]

I used to to use pigmented sealer also. For gib walls I now use a waterbased primer/sealer/undercoat. I still use pigmented sealer on older doors that have been polyurethaned that I want to paint over. It's the only thing that sticks well to the polyurethane even after sanding.

[@JamesYale1977]

Oil base primers are the standard if you want a flat finish. Water-based primers exist and people use them and they're terrible.

[@martinbarker7500]

⁠​⁠@@JamesYale1977 I was a painter for 20 years, I never saw any advantage in oil based primer on bare plasterboard, only disadvantages.

[@andrewpritchard5328]

a good quantity of freshly sliced onions placed strategically around the house will help remove the paint (and other types ) of smells. Onions naturally release high levels of sulphur, which is a compound known to neutralize paint smells. Slice onions and place them around your room for a couple of hours . i've found overnight works best.

[@kieran9]

20 year painter here. 10 years in nz. Oil base primer isn't necessary unless going over stains, or an old bathroom (wet areas). Or things such as wallpaper remover where glue is left. Water base is fine. Dulux 1 step primer works great. If it's thick add a little water and stir through for the first coat it'll go on the gib nicer and not leave brush lines. Spraying takes way longer to dry as it puts way more paint on. For a small room like that brush and roller would be quicker and it'll dry within 1 hour. Hope this helps. But yeah only use oil based primers in the bathroom.

[@digsnz]

Can’t believe the paint shop sold it to him!

[@Danthrax66]

I didn't have the issue of painting drying too slow when I sprayed, but I was using home depot behr paint and I find that when I roll it I barely have time to clean up runs so maybe this is actually just the perfect paint for spraying.

[@PhilipRoper]

Yeah I had brilliant results using a sprayer with acrylic primer on our entire house, with two rolled coats of acrylic colour over the top. We can't see anything through the paint. Oil paint is history unless I absolutely positively cannot avoid it.

[@DiscoFang]

Yep, water based sealer is better for this application. Scott said he'd specifically wanted it so can't blame the paint shop. And their friend Jess says she's never used water based sealer but recommends oil based as better. The blind leading the blind to the extent of being wilful ignorance.

A lesson I learned a while back was to just roll my walls. By the time I prepped, sprayed and cleaned up the sprayer and workspace I could've rolled it in the same time and had a much less stressful experience. And you end up bankrolling anyway. Rolling doesn't require putting up plastic, covering the entire floor, etc. And rolling is low impact mentally and you can listen to your favorite podcast while doing it. Spraying seems fast in the moment but, unless you just don't clean anything up, it always takes forever to prep and clean up.

[@ScottBrownCarpentry]

So true. I’m definitely rolling next time

Here in the UK we skim plasterboard with multi finish plaster then after it’s dried out we paint the walls with a mist coat which is watered down paint to give it a key and adheres to the plaster, then two coats of desired water based paint over the top.

I totally agree using pigmented sealer on new and old gibboard walls. I always use two coats of pigmented sealer with a light sand of the first coat as it tends to leave a slight texture on the surface. Its a pain to apply as its oil based and does smell (suck it up) but it etches into the gibboard, sands really well and gives a superior more uniform finish for top coats.

[@pjmNZ]

You should look into Natural Paint Co, fumes will not be an issue with that. Also the internal and external heatpump units are only connect via a refrigeratant line, so no need to worry about smell on outdoor unit coming into indoor unit. So can uncover outdoor unit.

[@captbill279]

As a professional painter, I only typically spray ceilings with shellac "Kilz" to block all the potential bleed through and then spray the ceiling paint, and even then only if the ceiling has popcorn texture or a heavy texture. Brushing and rolling is the way to go whenever you can. You aren't saving time using a sprayer for walls. Even when I DO have a job that calls for spraying walls, I always 'backroll' with a roller so it only makes sense to break out a sprayer if there is many square feet of walls to spray like a large commercial job. Rarely will you save any time spraying and backrolling on a residential interior. Get good at cutting in using a quality paint brush and the come right behind it with a good quality lambs wool roller cover, working in sections. Cut in a wall, roll a wall, to keep a wet edge. Besides, I think your sprayer is under powered for spraying walls. You need a bigger sprayer to do that type of volume. Or perhaps you have too large of a tip or your pressure setting is too low or even perhaps the paint is too thick for the pump to handle.

Use 'Resene Waterborne Sureseal Waterborne penetrating pigmented sealer - Interior; but I don't know why you are using pigmented sealer on new GIB unless its been up for longer than 4 - 6 weeks and it has started to discolour.. basically you could have just used any wallboard sealer. Oil based pigmented sealer is one of the hardest paints to spray and you should gain some experience before you use it and read the data sheet or the can it tells you that you need lots of ventilation. The smell doesn't last that long after it dries so you would have been better trying to dry it and it sands easy. PPG also put out basic waterborne products that are less harmful to you and the planet. Whatever you use follow up with the same brand so you don't lose the warranty and guarantee of the product.

[@TheBeaker59]

You are correct oil based sealer first really does give a better finish and its also stronger so more knock resistant. There are formulations out there for water based equivalents that are as good but no one uses them because they are so expensive so they become discontinued no one makes them anymore. Reason they work is that they soak deeply into the surface then when dry and cured actually reinforce the surface, also even out the porosity so the top coats dry evenly across the surface thus having same texture, its the textural difference that highlights plaster lines. Personally I rarely use it because I am not that fussy. So technically it comes down to personal choice. Professionals' don't use it because the whining over plaster lines are easier to deal with than whining over smell.

[@SuperMcgenius]

Regarding paint sprayer: proper tip, they do ware out in time. Proper pressure, always do a number of tests on cardboard or whatever until you have an even spray pattern. Correct overlap technique as critical as his distance. from sprayer tip to wall . paint must be filtered first, and sometimes diluted to achieve a proper viscosity. Spraying can be great in some applications if done properly. it does take time to build up experience and skill and the right equipment. If there are a lot of corners or Detailed mouldings ,spraying can save 75% of time. Cheers from Montreal .

Hey Scott to get rid of the smell put a coat of water based paint ontop and then start using fans and stuff to get rid of the smell as the oil base will stick around for 2-3weeks and with the spraying turn up the pressure on the spray gun and back roll everything you spray so one if you make a mistake you can fix it and 2 you can touch up the wall later if theres a scuff or you need to patch it because then youd have the same texture finish not a spray finish

I find it really difficult to paint when the temperature is hovering around 11 deg. Celsius as the paint often develops drips. I've only used water based undercoats for new ceilings/walls. Only oil based if it's for old wood with varnish type finish.

I love carpentry but hate painting. There is just something about the whole process that makes me rage. I like drawing though. But thinking of painting a room or a whole house just gives me anxiety :D

Love the episodes keep them coming! Also love the sauna! Don't suppose the guy who built it did a build series? I'd love to build myself a sauna

The outdoor heatpump unit (compressor) has no filters and does not re-circulate any air into your house. The filters are in the indoor unit (Ceiling in your case). Your installer 'should' have told you about the filters, where they are and how to clean or change them! (They will otherwise charge you for them to do it)! Turning it off would definatley been wise as you'd be recirculating through the whole house, though the filter. The hazard ourdoor would more be combustion of any flamable gases but be very unlikley. On that note, get some new filters post renovation (construction dust).

Just painted my entire house - brand new plasterboard. I used a water based 3-in-one primer/sealer/undercoat. 2 coats with a roller (one is recommended) and 2 top coats. Perfect finish! I always thought you shouldn't use an oil paint underneath a water based paint.

Isnt the opposite true? Never oil on top of water based

It’s a huge coincidence - but we’ve just gone through the exact same thing 2 weeks ago on 2 bedrooms. We’re going to have to sand back the walls as they are as rough as sand paper. It’s been - well - an experience. Our coping strategy: I’ve closed the doors on the rooms and I’m not looking at them again until August (maybe?)

[@juliadellafranca6922]

Yep oil based sealer is the way go. Then paint won't peel off in big chunks down the track.

He can hang a door but can he spray paint a room? 😂😂😂😂😂

Hey guys Ive done diy painting with airless for many years. Ive not used the model sprayer you have, but i can tell you that HEA tips are the way to go. stops the tails and much less overspray. The finish is chalk and cheese compared to std tips. You also don't need the machine to run at high pressure. I have never used oil based paint in the sprayer due to cleanup and smell. Change those tips out and get back to spraying. Contrary to another comment the time saved is huge. yes you spend time on taping up . But its a once off. 2nd coat and topcoat are done in minutes.

The other Jess has an awesome painting suit!

Would be good to check your nozzle as well sometimes debris get through and that can ruin the evenness of paint coming out… I have limited experience with sprayer but thats what i thought when i saw your open tub sprayer 🤔

I use smelly primer after stripping wallpaper before skim coating it. It helps to prevent stains coming through. I would not use oil-based primer on new gib. Oil paint is a pain to clean up and take forever to dry, also don't paint in winter, particularly oil, it will add days to the drying time (hence why the smell lingered). Use Broadwall Prep and Seal (or similar) for a better finish before your top coats, it is water-based and much easier to deal with, though it is pretty thick and won't spray I don't think.
