Make sure you paint baseboards whilst listening to upbeat techno music

To get a better seal on the mask? I suppose that would work but I’ve never tried it. I just crank the straps tight.

@@SuperVassarBrothers Thanks.

A lot of guys like using BIN shellac on cabinets. It’s fairly aggressive to work with, but it’s pretty much bomb proof as a base coat. The other option is to use something like fresh start from Benjamin Moore which is 100% acrylic. It’s easier to work with, but you gotta make sure it gets a good bond to the cabinet surface.

That seams to be the general strategy. It wouldn’t be an issue if people just let me tell them what they should like 😏

You can just go straight over it with a flat ceiling paint. You may want to sand it a bit with a 360 sanding disk before you start coating it with your ceiling paint. Plan on doing 2 coats

There was still a bit mixed for those coats. A little stain goes a long way.

@@SuperVassarBrothers thank you so much

I am a fan and you’re not left with a bunch of sample paint that you can’t use.

For sure. It’s worth it to get it right before doing all the hard work 🫡

They can do a decent job depending on who’s working the counter.

Hahaha, no worries homie. We’re right outside of Philly so MA would be a bit of a hike for us. I appreciate the kind offer good sir 🤙

Yeah man, picking colors is a big friction point for a lot of folks. Thanks for watching!!

So that Teal was a color grade done in the editing process. You might like Lagoon from Sherwin Williams. That’s a great color that’s similar to what you saw on screen.

@@SuperVassarBrothers Thanks for replying so fast! I appreciate it! I will check out Lagoon!

I’m glad you found them useful! Thanks for watching!

The wall is getting painted as well. When we do full repaints we do the ceiling and the trim first, then do the walls last.

Whoa whoa whoa…only when we run out of paper towels…or forget that we have paper towels.

Nice dude! I’m glad you’re finding the videos helpful and good luck at SW!! 🤙

Yes you can apply BIN to concrete. A lot of remediation companies use it for the application you’re talking about. You can even do a second coat if you think the odor is coming through after the first coat.

Well it’s a personal preference so whatever melts your butter. There are some alternative products that offer a lot of durability while giving you more flexibility with sheens. ScuffX from Benjamin Moore is a good example.

😃

@@SuperVassarBrothers It seems to be bristles produced by our company

Pro classic is probably my least favorite trim paint that I’ve ever used. It’s annoying to work with and I don’t like how it looks when it cures out. My current go-to trim paint is Emerald Urethane trim enamel from Sherwin Williams. Duration is good for an acrylic but if you want a bit more durability and adhesion then you can check out Emerald urethane

Yes you can go over it with semi-gloss. Your trim paint should adhere to that with no issues but you’ll likely have to do 2 coats to get a uniform looking finish.

@@SuperVassarBrothers Thank you 🙏

And yet they keep the gadgets and gizmos coming. I’m with you!

So there are a lot of options for trim paint. If you’re going with a 100% acrylic then I’d recommend giving the doors a scuff sand with 150 grit sandpaper. Do a little section with your trim paint and see if it’s forming a good bond. If the paint is not sticking then you may need to prime with something like fresh start from Benjamin Moore. You could also use a hybrid paint like emerald urethane from Sherwin Williams. That adheres to almost everything.

Corona Cortez or Monterey

@@SuperVassarBrothers thanks guys!

There are lots of scenarios where spraying is not appropriate. 14s make a huge difference when rolling big walls and ceilings. It’s cost effective for my crew, but if it’s not for you then that’s cool too.

@@SuperVassarBrothers then you switch to a 9 when the 14 is too big.. Becomes inefficient. Two sets of trays and sleeves. Have you timed yourself? Or you just assume you're so much faster? How 'bout you show us on an actual job.

It depends on the brand and the product. But yes, many flat paints (particularly wall paints) have a bit of sheen in them.

Well definitely don’t use duration interior for exterior work. I don’t use duration exterior so I’m not sure what tip would work. It’ll say on the can.

If it works for you then have at it.

I'm not sure which product you are referring to, but all of them can be used in an airless sprayer.

Hahaha, that's a solid move. Perhaps the biggest time saver of all is hiring a quality professional :)

I’ll stick with my brush and skills

Usually doors are painted with a semi-gloss trim paint. Those are quite common. You may want to go with an acrylic because they're easy to work with. Duration Semi-gloss or Emerald Semi-gloss are good options from Sherwin Williams. If the door is white, then you can just use a the stock white from whatever paint manufacturer you go with. As far as the marks go, you can try scrubbing them with soap and water to see if you can get them off or part of the way off. Then I'd suggest painting the whole door. That's my take on it without seeing it in person. Good luck with your project!

@@SuperVassarBrothers thank you for replying much appreciated 🙏🌻💕

Here's a breakdown of sheens that may be useful for you're upcoming project: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/et97m5thvtqdm2Q.html Folks generally prefer either matte or eggshell on the walls. Good luck with your project!

@@SuperVassarBrothersthanks for the response! I’d hire a professional but I thought it might just be easier to take my time and paint one room at a time

Those are all solid options 🤙

Yes it can

That’s a great way to do it for sure 🤙

I’m glad you’re finding the videos helpful! There are a lot of ways to spackle. There are a couple things that can help. Keep your blades cleans. Often spackle will dry on the edges and it’ll cause your blades to leave grooves in your patches. You can dip your blades in water and wipe them off and that’ll do it. As far as the spackle coming off the walls, I’d have to see how you’re doing it. It’s kinda similar to icing a cake. If you lay it on too thick then gravity will do its thing and it’ll fall off. Also a flexible mudding knife makes a big difference. I’m not a fan of the really stiff ones. I hope this was helpful and happy mudding!

@@SuperVassarBrothers Helps a lot. Thank you. I'll be laying some spackle down tonight. I have a 4 inch wide stiff blade for now, but have used a flexible blade in the past and I think i liked it.

As long as the caulk isn’t cracked out then you can just paint over it. If the caulking is cracking out and there’s gaps, then I’d recommend re-caulking those areas then running your top coats of paint.

Moorglo Soft-gloss holds up well 🤙

Or…1. Develop skills with a brush. Whichever you prefer

@@SuperVassarBrothers time is money and the edger gets you to the next job faster. When used properly it’s 3x faster than hand cutting.

I wish you well good sir. It’s a great trim paint for being 100% acrylic. If you need something a bit more durable you can check emerald urethane trim enamel. 🫡

I’m glad you found it useful!! 😁

If it’s working for you then keep on keeping on 🫡

Most folks prefer semi-gloss on doors

I’m glad you found it useful!

@@SuperVassarBrothers Yes, in fact I bought it today to soon paint my kitchen cabinets.

They do indeed, I’ve just never liked them

@@SuperVassarBrothers why not? Brushes and rollers clean as a whistle.
