Have you use aqua cote before? What primer were you using? It really made a difference in how smooth that looked. I have been using SW Extreme bond on my cabinets since they are laminate, but my parents have oak and it make the whole kitchen look dated.
We used Emerald Satin in our hallway and bedroom. I think it is a good middle ground between semi and flat. It reflects some light nut it not too crazy. I us a lot of flat in my workplace, but I do have to touch it up regularly (Pro-mar 200). I dream of starting a painting business on the side of my full time job, but you never know one day.. I enjoy your content and I have watched your interview on the SW learning pathway..
How does SW Scuff Tuff compare to ScuffX?
I like using flat paint at our office, but some areas are semi-gloss so would have to paint the whole wall to make it look right. I use Promar 200 flat off white and it covers pretty good over most everything.
Thank you for the info I did learn something, didnt know about acrylic for bathroom.🎉
Thank you, we could not figure out how to remove the drawers!
Cool
I learned this lesson the hard way. I am an amateur DIY and have two bathrooms neither are well ventilated, and the ceilings were quite stained when I moved in. I sanded, primed and top coated; and waiting 48 hours before showering. Within a few months the ceiling were once again stained and looked terrible. So I sought professional advice which I followed, and it worked. This is when I learned about the difference between paint drying time and paint curing time. I re-sanded the ceiling in the first bathroom, primed it with a stain blocking primer and waited 24 hours. Applied a second coat of the primer and waited 4 hours. Then applied two top coats of ceiling white. I then waited 7 days before showering (we used the second bathroom in the meantime). Today the ceilings still look like new. The trick with damp areas is to give it as long as you can.
Thanks for the feedback!! I’m sure it will help other people !!
Do you only spray the damaged areas with primer? Or treat the entire cabinet with primer before paint? Can you use a cabinet paint after primer ?
Thanks for asking!! We do several coats- we treat the immediate area 1st and slow to soak in and dry, sand etc- then when all is ready prime the whole door or item so the primer is uniform color/ sheen/ etc
Looks dope! Well done! 🌻
install a bigger exhaust fan also bring above shower
How much do you thin the primer?
We don’t …
You can add 10% … but we don’t
It causes them to suffocate. The Dawn seals them off. Snow seal, WD40, lotsa filmy/sticky products will do this too.
I was told it breaks down the wax coating on their shell causing them their fluid to drain ?
I have the same spray gun and it sprays even when I let the trigger go
Dam gun… they can be a pain.. sticking trigger can be seals that break down, old paint sticking, the packing nut being too tight, we have had the spring get jammed as well..
I would’ve loved to see entire thing alabaster with a dark painted brick fireplace but still beautiful
What is the benefit of sanding before you spray?
Gets rid of any and all minor bumps- dust- debris that can get in the paint- makes a smoother finish and helps to make sure paint bonds between coats!
ROMAN Rx-35 is just as good but less stinky than Gardz which is really the only downside to it.
Roman will Re wet.. and it doesn’t penetrate as deep
Where are you located
We serve the Chicago land nw suburbs
Then why not use poplar? Why use red oak and paint it?
Wow, I never thought of it that way!
This video was exactly what I needed, perfect timing!
Does it come off easily?
If we get called back to remove it.. I’ll let you know
How does 27(strips)/2 = 26? This could be so helpful but I need a little more clarity?? Please remake this!!! And any update on the app!!! Asking as a fellow designer who is tired of playing the numbers game for wallpaper pricing lol
Working on the app- google play store has one- but we have Apple.. I keep playing with numbers as well to verify my math and functions will work-
Two questions: what brand/product did you say you were to seal with? You said you'd sand twice - do you seal then sand and repeat, or sand then seal? What's that process? Thanks!
I can tell that these cabinets are going to have Beautiful jewelry box finish.
This is pure gold. Well done!
Why are you spraying?
Tape will absolutely remove the finish off of hardwood floor. I had a backsplash job last year that required demoing the old backsplash first, I taped down construction paper to protect the floors from any debris, with Frog Tape. If I remember correctly it was the green Frog Tape and it pulled up some of the finish when I removed it. So yes, you have to be careful with finished hardwood.
Although I know it can happen- it all depends on the rape and the floor, We have been using a lot of this washi tape and have not had this issue at all . Acrylic resin/adhesives are amazing .. And like I said in the video … if the finish was not done correctly, any type of tape will pull the floor off if they didn’t sand it if it wasn’t cured correctly, duct tape, etc. the wrong tape will give you the wrong results
Quad max even better
Great job. Great prep work 👍
Ugly fireplace and chandelier it's one of those unatractive early 90's McMansion
I’ve been binge-watching your channel, can’t stop!
Thanks
My wood trim is a lighter and very hard to match with caulk color. Do you advise using clear? Do you have to remove the tape after caulking and then re-ape to paint?
One way we have done. This is caulked. A wood tone color allowed it to dry for 48 hours and then put tape on the new caulk and painted the wall color further down so you don’t see it as much you could go with a clear. also clear is also shier kind of draws your attention to it. Every store, Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore bear Pittsburgh Lowe’s Menards. They all have different colors in some ways so you’ll be able to find something you may have to go to a different store. Even Ace Hardware has some colors that are little different than everyone else.
Do you have a favorite exterior trim paint
We have really like latitude from Benjamin Moore
No problems at all
Nice
Glad you liked it!
Emerald is absolutely the most expensive, Cashmere is a lot cheaper and is if not better than Emerald.
We have had alot of issues with cashmere flashing from where it is cut in and rolled - we keep seeing a sheen difference
What tip do you use?

Can I the Woodscapes rain refresh solid stain over wood that already had a semi transparent stain several years ago?
As far as I know yes.. but I always call and ask the stores to verify..
Can’t wait to try this out, thanks for the tips!
How much would you charge for a master bathroom?
Depends on size and paper
This was super helpful, thanks for sharing!
Great idea, but 165 bucks for 2 metal bars? I got a whole bakers scaffolding for $275
You can.. but this is to remove the shake.. we started pre covid, and had them for under 50$, we all know what happened post covid. If we could find a way to make them cheaper we would but I can’t .
Can’t believe how good this is!
Glad it helped
I hang a lot of peel n stick. I highly recommend YORK peel n stick if you are bent on using peel n stick wallpaper. It’s superior quality
