Love this video, it's real, with all the mistakes that REALLY happen

@idratherbecamping6298 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for sharing this video, and for leaving in the mistakes because that really helps to prevent others for making the same mistakes :). We are getting ready to paint ours and I was not going to bother with the primer but now after watching yours I will definitely be using it. Thanks again!

If you have that seam at the bottom of your shower walls, I was told you are not to seal it with anything. It’s there to allow any moisture that accumulates behind the plastic sidewalls and escape route to the pan. The pan actually goes up a couple of inches behind the sidewalls. That’s probably why the mold kept coming back under the caulk.

What a shame about the tape. I felt really sorry for you. I had never thought of using Marine Paint. You did a top job. The irony for me is that I spent 20 years fitting widows, and an expert with a silicone / caulk gun. I wish you had have known a guy who could have done that 2 minute job for you. It can be soul destroying when such things happen but you dealt with it really well. Well Done and thank you.

I believe that you should wait 3 days before even using a tub or shower after using the Top Coat Marine paint....I think that might have done the trick instead of re-doing it. But I'm glad I saw this before I started my project, I realize that sanding is an important part of this process!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I bought a used RV and I’m eating to remodel it and the shower is one of the worst things that need to be taken care of. I’m a first time RV owner matter of fact the first time I’ve ever stayed in one was the first time I moved in it lol. I wanted to paint over the walls but just didn’t know what paint could be used or how to do it. Thank you so much.

Aw, I felt so bad watching you work to paint knowing you skipped the priming process… However, I didn’t expect you to find it out so quickly until I watched you taping off the caulk edges. You’re a champ though! Great video on what to do and not do! Your redo of the redo will certainly help someone else not face those challenges. Thanks for posting! 🌼Lily🌼

@IanoftheRVin Жыл бұрын

rather than use a putty knife you should pick yourself up a "Painter's Tool" they are indispensable for silicone and caulk removal.

@Stargatesleuth 2 ай бұрын

I know this comment is a day late but for anyone else watching here it is! This will seem fairly obvious to a lot of people but the issue wasn't your paint, it was your Silicone application! 💔 You applied way to much sealant. This is probably because you cut the chip too big and maybe you didn't cut it at an angle. You don't need the tape if you're applaying a tiny amount. You also don't need that grout tool or your finger if you are moving the tube quickly with just a fine line. Always practice first. Secure two long 2x4's together perpendicular and practice on that inside edge. Last tip, use silicone sealant, not that bathroom tub and tile stuff.

Professional painters recommend caulking before you paint.

We have been happy with our new door - we just squeegee it when done and then keep it pulls open until it dries before letting it roll back up. We got ours through rec pro, but looks like it’s available on Amazon now as well - www.recpro.com/rv-retractable-rolling-shower-door/?campaignid=10108288062&adgroupid=112502423452&keyword=&gclid=CjwKCAjwvsqZBhAlEiwAqAHElcW4OBbPyDb1cNUudNqedtT4Os_KzlU6gr1Ys2_VJha0oqiiSMEkGhoCnFcQAvD_BwE

@TheWayVlog Жыл бұрын

Nope - it’s been good so far! One consideration though is we have been careful to use gentle cleaners and nothing abrasive just a soft sponge or rag when cleaning. And clean frequently to avoid a need for harsh cleaners.
