This is so helpful, I was worried about clean up because I've got multiple things to prime and have to do it over a few days . And I was going to buy foam rollers even though I've got perfectly good regular rollers! Thanks for sharing these tips!

Finally a fellow tradesman who knows what he's talking about'.. tired of watching idiots on KZfaq who think they know what they're talking about,

Thankyou so much for your excellent tutorial. I’ve just trawled the internet for some quality high density foam rollers. I can’t wait to try them out on my project ❤️

Zinsser BIN is one of my go to primers and always have some in my products box on a job. I have been storing my BIN brushes in exactly the same way - since you told me your method a year ago! A little meths in an old Big Wipes tub works a treat. Thanks for the roller tip.

Hi any tips, I primed loads of skirting board with BIN. Problem is there is a strong smell. Catches my throat, still pretty strong even after 2 top coats. Any ideas to neutralise the smell?

Great explanation, thanks

Great tips thanks👍.

Thanks So Much! 🎨👨‍🎨

what is your favourite matt emulsion to use for yourself, in order of 1,2,3 dulux, crown, leyland, macphersons, etc......???

Simple but effective mate . Nice 1

Hi, what this paint. What's the benefit for using pure bristle paint brush for oil paints? You mentioned it but didn't say why ? Thanks

I need to cover some bleed through on drawer fronts painted with light coloured chalk paint. I've been advised to try BIN primer, but folk say it is very hard to paint. Is the spray version easier to use ?

Can i ask you mate do you use coverstain or bin when painting over varnish and can cover stain be diluted ?

Have you got any tips for eliminating the flashing that can happen with BIN through emulsion? I have been following your channel for some time and know you like a drop of the old BIN so thought i'd ask here first. Thanks for all of the great videos you have produced as well I have found so much of it extremely helpful.

That sponge roller seemed to suck it all up and not really release much. What about tight mohair gloss rollers?

Put used rollers in an air tight zip lock freezer bag. Good for several days before they go off.

Thanks for that

the container is a big wipe one i take it . how likely is it if by accident if it fell off a shelf with turps with brushes in would top come off i mean are they pretty tight sealed tops do they screw on or just clip on . as i was thinking of getting one for my brushes /

Been trying to find an old tub of that size. Is it an old wipes tub? If so what one?

Hi what best to use for knots on fresh door casings

I have painted over some filled holes on the wall with Zinsser B. I. N. because they were flashing, thinking it will help and it will be easy to sand down so I wasn't very careful when applying and added a lot. . Boy, how wrong I was! It is not easy to sand down at all, and it is flashing even more. It made the wall like mirror now. Is there anything I can fix it? Emulsion doesn't want to stick to it properly. I didn't realise it wasn't really meant to be applied on walls until I made that mistake.

So true about the foam rollers. They start to disintegrate after a few minutes.

I must admit i've lobbed brushes away in the past when they've gone hard after using BIN so that's handy to know. What i do now though is keep a short handled brush permanently in a 2.5L tin of BIN with just enough paint in it to cover the bristles . I just top it up when required from another tin , it can get a bit stodgy on the bottom though so needs a brush out on something before use. How much meths do you keep in the yellow tub ?

Very good video

Good work!!

This video really shows the watery consistency of this primer. I'm using this primer over some removed wallpaper and have been making a mess entirely when using a roller or brush. Can you give some advice? What am I doing wrong? The roller flings the primer all over the place and I get very very little coverage using it. The primer is also much thicker at the bottom of the can. I have taken it to be shaken twice and stirred it vigorously with the stirring sticks. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Ammonia works great on Ben

Are you referring to the Shellac variety? How do you get a flat finish using foam rollers in this? What is that container?

Just use a mini roller and throw it away or an old mini roller

One top tip is to buy block and bond from Decoratoring Direct at less half the price BIN

That was a nice bedtime story

I bought white spirit instead of methylated - can I use that instead?

Shouldn't you be wearing gloves and a mask when using this stuff? I've found myself getting a headache after about 10 minutes of using this, even with a mask.
