I made the doors a few weeks ago and you can see that video here • How to Make Panel Door... and so this weekend's job was to prime and top coat them.
I've previously used Johnstone's MDF primer amongst other things but today decided to use the Zinsser B.I.N because it is known to be one of the best primer sealers on the market - and I had a 1 litre tin left over from a recent video where I compared the Zinsser to the Johnstone's.
I've got to say, I wasn't disappointed. Despite being quite watery in consistency, the coverage of the paint is excellent, and the thin consistency is actually an advantage because it goes onto the wood so easily, and a small tin goes a long way! On the all important end grains, the Zinsser B.I.N sealed them well and required minimum sanding between coats.

Quick tip from a professional decorator, shellac is a reversible compound so if your brush goes hard just put it back into some zinsser or meths and it will soften back up. Zinsser is the best primer out there and I always have some in my van, you can have it tinted too so grey would be better for colours like green, blues, brown and reds.....

I love using BIN. I've had great success with it when priming metal doors exposed to harsh Chicago seasons, sealing wall board around bath tubs and showers, trim(obviously), sealing the odors and stains from disgusting nicotine. It's perfect for pretty much everything. My pops said that it did wonders when he was doing fire damage repair 35 years ago. It made the crappiest looking plaster or drywall repairable. I hope it helps you with other projects in the future.

Zinsser BIN is fantastic on mdf. It is all i use now. I find it gives cut/routed edges a harder edge to it, much like the face of mdf. With mdf just sand in one direction as going in both directions flattens the ''grain'' and then raises it again going in the opposite direction. My workflow for mdf is sand the cut edges to 180g, 1st coat BIN, let it dry properly. Denib with 220/240g paper, 2nd coat of BIN. Let that dry overnight, then denib again with 240g paper. While not needed i then put 2 coats of undercoat on, again flatting between coats, this time with 320g. Then let it dry and flatten with 400g paper and then 2 top coats and flattening between coats. That always gives me a really smooth finish, one that feels like glass. :)

The flip side of that lovely dry time with shellac based finishes is that the alcohol is a toxic organic solvent with a very high vapor pressure. It's extremely flammable, and the vapors damage your nervous system. Even with good ventilation, it's prudent to use a respirator with cartridges rated for organic vapor. This is why I've historically been shy of shellac except on small pieces...stay safe!

Hi Charlie. I have watched a couple of your videos when you paint MDF. I have a Pro tip for you. Before applying any paint to the cut edges sand it to 320 grit ( I like to use abranet) this effectively burnishes the fluffy grain, then do as you have been with the zinsser or if you haven't tried it Tikkurilla Otex paint from Finland. Try it next time. Ollie

Hi, Charlie! (10:29) About MDF edges: I sand them by hand with 60 grit first, just a few strokes are enough (that cleans the roughness and marks of the blade), and then I go directly to 220 with an orbital sander, *before painting*. That leaves the surface smooth as glass to the eye and touch, and is super quick. ;)
@barebaric Жыл бұрын
The key to that method is that the MDF is heating up from friction, to soften the resin in the MDF. I recommend using even finer grit, like 400 or even 600.

I think I have posted before but I can't recommend Zinsser Perma White enough for wood and walls. It is a fantastic paint which I have used on my bespoke bath panel and bathroom cupboards and after 1 year is still as white as it was from freshly painted, unlike other paints I have used. I'm about to update a pine draw unit to white to go under my white office desk and I have every confidence in both the BIN and the Perma White to do a great and permanent job.

I would suggest using a sanding block for sanding in addition to hand sanding with a piece of sand paper. You may use a piece of wood with the paper wrapped around it or (better), spray the wood block and the sand paper with contact cement, wait 2-4 minutes, then wrap the sand paper around the block. Now it's a tight contact and will be there permanently. Another option is to purchase a hard rubber sanding block with slits cut in each end for the sanding paper to slide into. These can be found online or at a wood working specialty store. Some paint stores will carry them as well. Good luck!

Thank you for this video. I will be making and installing an MDF bath panel in the next week or two from scratch and repainting all the other woodwork in the bathroom. My choice of paint will be Zinsser Bull's Eye 123 primer which is a water based primer with Biocide protection against fungal degradation and thus suitable in areas of high humidity. I will thoroughly seal the unseen edges of the panel with neat Gorilla wood glue to protect them from water ingress before priming. After priming I will give the panel two coats of Zinsser Perma- White as a finish, which has a lifetime durability guarantee as well as preventing the growth of mould and mildew. It would be interesting to know what you think of the Perma-White paint if you get round to trying it. PS. Cheapest place to buy Zinsser paint I have found is Screwfix.

Hi Charlie, I bought a brush cleaning tool called "Dandy" some time ago, it has two jigs for want of a better name that fit in a drill and one takes a brush held by big springs and the other one takes a roller. The jigs use ventricular force to clean the brush or roller and makes a fantastic job of getting all the paint out even though I tend to get paint right up into the top pf a brush. It is so simple even an idiot like me can get fantastically clean brushes. I thought it would be in every store by now but it seems to have not been successful on the sales side and I have never seen the item since.

Was advised by Dulux customer support to use Zinser B-I-N in my garage office conversion because on the terrible advice of a sales assistant at B&Q I had painted 2 coats of Dulux Exterior Weathershield on the cement wall in the new office room in the garage. One year later the room was still uninhabitable because of the mildicide/fungicide odours from the exterior paint. B&Q had given me emulsion to coat over the top of the Weathershield after I complained, which I applied two coats of but it didn't make a difference to the odour problem. Thankfully the Zinser B-I-N has all but eliminated the odour. I only used one coat - I don't care about top coat as I just want to use the office. I can see that it wasn't evenly applied, perhaps it wasn't mixed well enough. Some parts are more glossy that others. However, you can see the pleasant colour of the primer fairly evenly throughout and it really did do the trick re. the odour as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure 95% of the original surface area painted with Weathershield is now sealed, some parts are underneath skirting board and behind a radiator. If the smell returns in any way I wouldn't hesitate to do another coat of the primer.

Thanks!!!!!!! I bought a small can of this to shellac a closet (for sealing in cigarette odor from previous owners!). I have been procrastinating using it, since I kept reading reviews on how shellac is "drippy" (did not look forward to that). Watching your demo is reassuring, and I will be tackling the project today!!
@CharlieDIYte 5 жыл бұрын
The drippy nature of it struck me too when I first used it - particularly when compared to for example Johnstone's MDF primer which is quite thick. But the thin consistency is what I LOVE about this paint now because it makes it SO easy to apply, and you can absolutely drench the MDF edges in it to really seal well. Also it dries so quickly you'll have the whole unit painted so much quicker than you would with the non shellac alterative.

Zinsser recommend their water based 123 primer for MDF why is it that you chose to not use a less expensive and maybe more suitable product for this project video? P.S. I did like the video just not sure the product choice is steering budding diy folk in the wrong direction
@denisekennedy3099 2 жыл бұрын
@@MICHAELSMITH-fl7du I have followed Charlie’s more recent guidance & views on BIN -v- 123. I have found the water-based Zinsser an absolute nightmare on raw MDF. I’m on the third coat and it’s patchy/blotchy. Am going out tomorrow to get the BIN. Sand everything thoroughly and (more or less) start again. Soooooo depressing.

I questioned Rustoleum about MDF primers. I also use the shellac based primer A LOT. I thought just maybe it makes MDF water resistant and could be used in humid areas. I and got this as a response: Thank you for contacting Rust-Oleum Product Support. As per your inquiry, the primer is not waterproof or water resistant so it will not make the MDF water resistant either. We would also recommend to use the Zinsser Cover Stain over MDF as it is more resistant to bleed-throughs and protects the MDF better than the BIN. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Cling film the roller tray. After use, let it dry, peel and throw away the film. Get a tall glass jar, put some marbles in the bottom and pour in a little metho way below the height of the marbels. While painting, put the rollers in the jar and seal while they aren't being used.
@saddle1940 5 жыл бұрын
Cling film and metho is also good for liquid nails or silicone products in those chalking tubes. If the tube is nowhere being finished, unscrew the nozzle and put a bit of cling film over the tube end and screw the nozzle back on. Get a champagne bottle and put a bit of metho in it. Push the nozzled tube into the top of the bottle and store upright. The metho vapour will stop the liquid nails hardening. When you want to use it, pull it out of the bottle, squeeze the gun to break the cling film cover and squeeze out the first bit of product that was in the nozzle (don't use it, it's not the same after a metho vapour soak), then just use the liquid nails like normal.
