Pure joy to watch. Masterclass in perfection.

Great video and content, it was slow and in depth really helped a newbie DIYer like me.

Always worth watching your stuff 👍

👍🏻 great explanation. You are convincing me to give it a go.

Great work.as.always and good to know ya didnt edit out touching the carpet with paint. happens us all. Nice work matey. 👍🏻👍🏻

For deep carpets a painter told me he uses the blades from Venetian Blinds as a barrier, haven’t tried it yet but it’s sound like it may work.

Not gonna lie. It gives me anxiety looking at how close you get to the top edge - very impressive

Superb tutorial. An oasis of knowledge there. Loved the dextrous use of the brush.

I like using tape for skirts not for the paint going on the carpet but the fluff coming back onto the skirt

Fantastically informative. Really impressive.

Been watching for months now and have picked up loads of excellent advice, thank you. Would like a quick bit of advice if possible. I have fitted new doors all over my house over the last couple of years and am now ready to paint them. All are factory primed. I have tried water based undercoat and gloss on one and the finish is terrible, flashed all over the place and brush marks everywhere. Lost confidence in water based so could I just sand lightly and use a decent oil based gloss directly into the factory primer to avoid the time involved with oil based undercoat drying times. Have 17 doors to do.

Great work as always.

I recently used crown fastflow water based gloss and had to give it 2 coats would you recommend the Leyland over crown, great videos, I'm only starting to switch to water base for interiors as customers are asking for it more, it seems to keep its whiteness a lot longer than oil based, served my apprenticeship late 80s then left painting for about 25 years, so much has changed in the way of different paints, the methods you use are the same as I was taught by the old pros, love learning about foam and caulk etc, dont think I ever used it back then 👍

I wonder how many customers watch these videos and think "oh, he did do a good job"

After you denibbed the undercoat, you can spray the skirting with a light mist of water before putting on the gloss. Works a treat with the waterbased stuff. Been doing it for years. Nothing too heavy...just a light mist of water

What water based gloss do you reccomend Thanks?

Thanks for all your great videos. Is the Leyland water based paint suitable for hand rails, is it hard wearing. If not, what would you recommend?

Is that water based gloss? Your vids are great pal👍👀

I appreciated this video bc after an OD on VOCs and oil-based paint, I just will not use it (durability notwithstanding). Oil continues to release VOCs over time, and then yellows. Water-based paint only for us.

If you find a stockist locally, Tikkurila Helmi is great gear, best I've found but the gloss on Leyland is superb. Also, a tub of Floetrol was a revelation for thinning paint and keeping it open in hot weather. Somehow much better than water. Your brush is giving me heebie-jeebies! I can't use natural bristle any more. Hamilton acrylic all the way. Nice to see you - All the best.

Great job as always, thank you. A question: when applying water based gloss on previously solvent gloss areas, would you ever use shellac paint as base coat, like zinsser, then water gloss?

I find I can get a nice finish with water based top coats if they go over a nice smooth previous coat. Over an oil primer they look well. But there is no doubt about it , all water based paints seem to go soft on handrails and come off almost like chewing gum with the grease. They seem hard until a year or so of grease is built up and they eventually go soft. For that reason I have stuck to oil. Would love to go completely water based but I just don’t think they are quite good enough. I here a lot of people talking about Benjamin Moore waterbased paints as tho it’s the holy grail but I have seen this go soft in areas too. In my opinion oil can’t be beaten. If u get a slightly off white in oil based it will never really yellow

What size brush are you using?

Can I ask if your using leyland quick dry gloss why wouldn’t you use the leyland acrylic primer and keep the same system? Or do you find the armstead much better?

You know when you soaked brushes in water, were they still damp when you used them to apply the primer?

I just done a grey room try to follow your advice touched the wall in after painting skirting it now looks darker than the rest What have i done and how do i get out of it thanks.

Hi m8, for skirting with the higher profile do you ever use a random orbital or delta sander? Cheers

Top job

Looking at the way you load the brush IV been doing it all rong thanks for showing the way you do it

Love your videos, just started repainting our gloss covered doors that have yellowed - I like the Leyland water based gloss you used on this video, I am struggling to find the undercoat you used locally, is there a different brand you ask recommend? For the doors that have oil gloss on, do I just sand and use the leyland water based gloss or is the undercoat essential? I want to make sure it’s a good job. Many thanks, Simon

When painting the skirting boards I use a paint guard or a piece 1m length of upvc facia board and tuck it down between the carpet and skirting then just wipe it with some wet wipes as I go along

I found laying off water based paint a real pain as it drys so quickly. Do you have a brand preference or are they much the same?

Good work as usual. Would you recommend paper before paintwork or prepare woodwork and paint before pampering ? Any advice would be great.

Excellent 👌 job.

I thought you are not big fun off water based gloss by the finsh looks great.

How are your sheets always looking clean no paint or marks

Do you find water based does not have the same depth/guts as an oil based does.

Was it a water based system you painted on?

I've been using the waterbased satin finish,and on a warm day it's drying almost as soon as it touches the surface,meaning I'm leaving brushmarks everywhere - any tips to avoid this please?

Is there any reason you don't use an angled brush for this? Just preference?

Nice lines, solid job 👍...you may habe been better with a synthetic filament brush though, as the pure bristle brushes can go a bit floppy in water based

What type of sheet are they mate? Iv never seen sheets as flat 🙂

I have forgotten to wipe the runs from diluted PVA just before filling a crack with foam. The runs dried like that by the time I saw them the following day. How do I get rid of them?

See even the best of us touch the carpet lol

Why not use paint conditioner also synthetic brush, would have make the life easier??

Learn so much watching your videos but i always end put dropping off until the music comes on

if you need to get paint off the carpet like you did, folding a wetwipe over a wide filling knife give greater accuracy, no risk of touching your paint finish

I will use black paint fed up with white!

Masking tape every time,well worth the extra cost !

15.54 and thats why you should always tape the carpet folks

Hi what make of paint brush do you use?

You dont stir Leyland water based gloss! Read the label. It introduces small air bubbles in the finish.

Johnson water based gloss is the best.with water based gloss you dont undercoat you put two coats off gloss

I was painting skirting board all day full house knees and back killing me plus doors and frames 🥵

Oh, where is the dust mask😳

Just wondering if you could tell me what brush this is PLEASE

what happened to is mask lol

The brushes that so called decorator are cheap and rubbish, and dragging the Bush alongside of paint kettle is most of the paint off the brus

always use tape on any carpet or finished floor - period

Man my apprentices go quicker use a proper brush to start with.
