The quality and clarity of your video’s are always of the highest standard. Thank you!

Great video mate. I’m just about to cover a load of vinyl silk with Matt and knew it needed some sort of extra work but was unsure what I had to do. Perfect timing - many thanks

I used the Zinsser and worked perfectly no sanding and painted over with matt for a brilliant finish,great video.

Thank you for this tip! I just bought a new flat, I started decorating a room that was painted a light grey. After 3 coats of paint it still wasn’t covered. Very patchy, huge uneven lines down the wall. When I try to blend the paint in the paint was being pulled off by the roller. Despite the fact it was applied less than a minute before. I’ve just realised that it’s a Farrow & Ball emulsion which is washable. Tomorrow I’ll try out your Zinsser tip. 👍🏻

Thanks very much this was really helpful and your presentation style is great

Great video, great explanation

Great tip thanks for sharing 👍😊

Good video mate 👍

I tried sanding the silk before applying Matt and the paint still cracked. Then I had the problem of applying Zinsser over cracked paint after another sanding. Finally I had to go over cracked areas with filler. If only I could have removed the Matt layer.

1st Class keep them coming

great! thank you!!!

Thanks sub, needed that info for next home reno

Very helpful, thanks. Why a medium pile roller for the Bullseye 123 though? Would a short pile be ok? I would want to try and avoid added texture if possible.

Hi Aubrey another great tip. Don’t know about you but I can’t stand vinyl silk emulsion paint. I came across a customer who had applied it straight over a newly plastered wall then wondered why he could just scrape it off with his fingernail! Well I ended up scraping the lot off and doing the process correctly. Ok you either know or you don’t but I talked him out of the vinyl silk finish and seeing it was a kitchen wall I suggested durable Matt. He always has this now when I do work for him! Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻

Great vid Aubrey, aubrey quick quedtion what would you use for priming filler over a silk wall, prior to silk top coats, colour blue, I was thinking gardz, thanks

HI, great video !. I was considering using Zinsser Guardz as the primer before painting the matt emulsion. Would the 123 be better ? than you

Keep up the great videos mate your a top guy always good advise u should run courses

Great video Aubrey. Not a silk fan but need to paint silk over silk (same colour) for a friend. Any advice please?

Where are bathroom was decorated we've got cracks in it from that type of thing you've mentioned what can we do to sort out the cracks because it looks like the pores on your skin ? Thank you Aubrey

Excellent advise no flash look how fast i am rubbish

What about a plastered ceiling currently painted in Acrylic eggshell? (Leylandv trade)Can I go over that with a matt emulsion?

Hey Aubery, I've always use satin paint, but recently just moved and the walls are all painted in silk and I've painted over with matt paint the other day but now seeing small cracks (can only see up close), am I able to just buy that 123 paint and go over with it to stop any more cracks from Apparening and also will it stop the cracks from showing.

Hi Aubrey, I wanted to ask a question (unrelated to this video). I'm based in the UK and I bought a used glass console table in brilliant condition. The stand of the table is metal and has a very smooth and shiny gloss finish (in a grey colour) - with only 1 or 2 small scratches. I want to spray paint the stand a gold colour. I was ONLY going to lightly sand the scratches, wipe it down with "methylated spirit" and then use the "Zinser 123 Bullseye Primer- Sealer", then spray paint it gold using the"Rust-Oleum" brand. Do you think this would work? Alternatively, if this is wishful thinking, can I use a cheap liquid sander (HG liquid sander), then the 'Zinser Bullseye" and finally the gold spray paint? Your advice would be most helpful. Thanks in advance!

I am about to paint over my old kitchen paint but we have put a few test colour patches on the walls which are fairly strong colours. I don't want the test colours to show through the new paint, the old paint was kitchen grade, not sure what to expect painting over it. Having bought expensive eggshell paint, would it be best to use this Zinsser to prime the walls before repainting?

Hi Can Vinyl silk be applied directly on vinyl silk with out sanding

What would you do to a wall that you’ve already painted and crack are already visible? The same process?

I painted 1 of 4 walls in silk paint and did not like she shine showed all the imperfections so Ived filled and sanded wall with P60 sandpaper would that still be okay? And just quickly wiped the dust off the wall. I’m painting it in Matt tomorrow

Hi, what about painting matt over soft sheen, do I still need to do the same as with silk?

I might have to try the Zinsser Bulls Eye 123. Been having a nightmare painting a wall with matt emulsion, it just keeps bubbling. I sanded it down and tried Zinsser Peel Stop, but it still bubbled when painted over that. No idea why it's not adhering to the wall.

Can you apply the Easy 123 with a roller?

Hi can you tell me how to do filler repairs and touch ups to vinyl silk paint? I keep getting blisters

I've just done the hall and landing twice with Dulux silk and it looks bloody awful over the recently skimmed walls. I'm gutted enough I'm going to have to repaint it with matt emulsion, but I'll definitely use that Zinsser stuff instead of sanding.

Just use soft/mid sheen for the coat

Aubrey....I've got one for you!!#@ How about a demonstration of Marballing? Always found this fascinating when demonstrated at Holly Bank if you remember mate.

My silk peeled off the newly plastered wall completely even though we had done 2 coats of watered down emulsion to prime and seal the wall. Will the Zinser stuff adhere or peel of with the silk? I don’t think I can avoid sanding 🤔

Are you saying that the side that wasn't treated with Zinsser was just as good as the side that was? If that's the case, there is no need to use Zinsser.

I'll take a look...it must be good if you're responsible, Aubrey.

I would like to paint Matt paint on top of eggshell paint, would I just need to sand it down first as shown?

That rubber on your mask must have been painful. How would you prep a previously painted wall that has plaster underneath. It has a couple of previous paits that has been applied before.

Hello. Can I paint eggshell over silk emulsion?

What if your walls have wallpaper on?

👍👍💐💐💐

Good advice but when you do it as a professional if I had to go down all these steps to make the walls crisp , I’ll have to add more days to the job which customers don’t want unfortunately.

Can you paint silk over the top of matt?

Or mirka it.

I've just gone over poor quality vinyl silk and it has bubbled extensively.. it looks like it has chicken pox!

I’ve just made this mistake then found your channel 😢😢😢

Dulux is very poor paint , rather use Valspar every day off the week. Turned off after I seen it. A poor painter.

Hiya, what if the the silk paint is peeling? Would the zinsser still work over it? Or would sanding be best? Or do we have to just peel all the silk paint off? Thanks
