How to basecoat new plaster

[@rfnrgj]

This fella should have his own TV series.... learnt so much and is my go to guy if attempting something ive not done.. FANTASTIC

[@alansimpson2217]

Enjoy watching your vids. Retired but your vids make me want to get into it again!Forty five years as pro painter in Aus but never seen a corner roller.Still learning

[@zoesmith1536]

You are a legend. I love your no nonsense style to painting. You are really good.

[@southcoastsealantsltd]

Most new builds these days have silicone applied round all the windows internally. I often find the silicone pulls the paint off the fresh plaster. The reason for this is because the fresh plaster has not had a mist coat around the window reveal, it should be cut in right up againt the frame.

[@losttheplot26]

Depends on the sleeve. Can go 18" rolling out is quick. Manufacturers say mist coat with the same top coat instead of trade matt now. Doesn't matter for new plots. Dulux heritage say sand down previous paint before applying.

[@JoeProDecor]

Great, no nonsense video......ive seen quite a few videos on this subject with Dec's applying the mist coat as though it's a finish..lol....introducing steps that are a waste of time, as we all know it's rare to have a new plaster job that is without any need for snagging/fine filling. I simply apply the mist coat to seal the porous surface and to highlight the areas that need repairing.

good job Mark that sort of work would make an old man of you very quick Best wishes from Northern Ireland

[@websurfer1585]

That's rapid coverage, and I never came across the corner roller before? I've always used a brush, but that is clearly way, way faster, I really need to speed up my decorating, thanks!

[@1234luke1234luke]

Old skool gizza! Love it!! Just the way me old taught me but he made me cross roll everything 😂 To be honest though I have struggled in the past getting a decent roller finish on spray, also spray is a nightmare to touch up.

[@kevinbenstock8116]

Hi candleman, what paint did you use for the bare plaster, dulux trade?? also was it a 10 ltr tub or 15 ltr tub?? then the 3 ltrs of water to water it down so it soaks in, good tip, thanks i am learning a lot from you, if you get to paint the top coat on this room you have missed coat, would you give 1 or 2 top coats,? and what brand of emulsion do you like the best, and what would be your 2nd choice if on a budget......thanks kevin

[@youngjock1985]

Keep up the good work. Enjoyable videos and informative.

[@LI0N0FTHETRIBE0FJUDAH]

Hey what the sleeve your using ?

[@JelyJoy100]

Hi Mark, Great work. Could you please advise what is the best thing to do with PVA stains on the freshly plastered walls? My plasterers decided to do the ceilings last which has left splashes of bonding coat on the walls and is now showing through even after the second emulsion coat, which is very frustrating! We sanded it slightly and prepped the walls but no difference! Your comment would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Buy and airless paint sprayer!! Can Miss coat whole of a 3 bed semi in 1 day. If you got a loade of site work it's well worth £1600

[@mojothepyruttleworthy3270]

Ye got just got one for exactly that ;)

[@CARLIN4737]

first off fella its a mist coat and secondly it depends what firm you work for. some boss men get all there plots based out by a team that just do mist coating and some bosses hate the walls being sprayed like this fellas and the painters have to do them by roller.

[@sinsooty6290]

[@kanhdahar2]

what brand corner roller are you using?

[@slybunda]

should i use a roller with a short or long pile for the base coat? also should it be microfiber or woven one?

[@wallingtonfilming]

slybunda Use a long pile

[@mariankuyper3826]

Excellent video will keep playing it to husband until he does the newly plastered walls

[@ashrevlution3456]

Have you considered using a spray gun when mist coating?

[@antallaczko8793]

No that's too much hassle and masking. 😄

[@kevinmorse8814]

Would that be base coat and top coat?

[@mrbritvic]

I had a professional painter come and mist coat but after 2 top coats of finished colour it’s patchy -he wasn’t sure what was wrong -any thoughts ?

[@hazelbrownn]

My plasterer suggested I use Leyland super leytex trade paint as a mist coat, is this OK?

[@southcoastsealantsltd]

Thanks for the video i have learnt some great tips

[@cartucho8454]

what roller brand and nap size are you using?

[@wallingtonfilming]

Rota or Hamilton long pile 🎥🕯☕️🚬

[@Nofixedabode859]

Is the Hamilton the green one and do you use same one on topcoat thx

[@2wheelspy]

Really good video

[@mawky1]

Does it matter if I water down way more than what is quoted on the tin. My tin said 1 part water to 9 parts paint but I watered down 2 paint kettles of paint with one paint kettle of water so will this be OK?

[@patriciamattson9949]

Wish my husband could paint that quick.

[@deemdoubleu]

I used Dulux plaster sealer on our new conservatory and the subsequent paint finish has lasted really well (years now) and looks nice. I imagine it to be PVA based though not sure. So question is why not just use very dilute PVA? If dilute enough, it doesn't leave a film but does seal for painting.

[@scottbob3917]

where did you get the corner roller from with that sleeve

[@wallingtonfilming]

Scott bob Ebay

[@pritpal212]

Good vid. Would you recommend treating the corner beads before misting?

[@orbitalforest]

How much do you get for base coating on those plots Mark ?

[@CARLIN4737]

Where can i get a pair of whites that hang low like that making me look smart and fresh every day like you.

[@hithere3035]

Hi Mark, I'm currently painting my own house inside. I have the same purdy pole you're using and Hamilton perfection medium pile sleeve (i was suggested these) I noticed every time you finished rolling and you go to get some new paint on the roller, your sleeve is always looking fluffy, like it's carrying alot of paint. When i finished rolling a wall and i go to get put paint onto my sleeve, it seems like the sleeve is compacted and not fluffy. It's not due to paint still being in the sleeve because when i'm rolling the wall there is no more paint coming off the sleeve onto the wall. Any suggestions to why?

[@EmiMartinezVillaLegend]

The pile of the sleeve you’re using is to small, I’m a new building house painter & we would never dream of using those sleeves you used on your home for the simple reason they don’t hold enough paint

[@hithere3035]

@@EmiMartinezVillaLegend Appreciate the reply Paul. I paid somebody to do it in the end. I gave up after 1 room. Any suggestions on the sleeve you use? For the future when maybe one of my children rope me into painting some rooms.

[@EmiMartinezVillaLegend]

@@hithere3035 something like a 12 inch polyamide roller sleeve would be ideal for you to use at home, they’re very similar to the one Mark is using in this video he’s using a 15 inch here I myself use 18 inch ones

Hi m8 the pile can go flat if you run the roller too dry as well, think that’s wat your getting at

[@soots-stayingoutofthespotl5495]

It's 10-litre tubs - he's a pro, so we should assume he doesn't use consumer-size 5l tins, but he does actually confirm it below. Therefore, he is talking about a mix of at least 30% water. Some pros say 20%, some say 50%, so that seems like a good compromise.
