Fantastic video - more of these! :-)

I use BM Simply White Scuff-X. Really nice.

Crown Fastflow? Not bad stuff and one of my favourites. Scuff x is great, heritage eggshell good too.

Hi Phil, Great video. Thanks for that. I have a question. Do you think Dulux oil based Undercoat can cover the wood filler or is better to use primer over the wood filler first to not flash ? Thanks

Nice to see you two together brothers of the brush

I've been a pro Decorator for nearly 40yrs now, just don't use water based trim finish paints indoors, because they are CRAP 🤮just use acrylic primer u/c & finish using oil based paints, trust me it's the only way😉

Good to see a collaboration with yourself and Steven.

have to admit Phil, despite having a 'square car' down her in Cornwall......., i am going back towards Spirit base satins and glosses. I find the water based to be pretty good but lacking shine and being delicate. I like the toughness of Spirit Base and how easily you can wipe off Emulsion from a cured finish. I like the brans of WB ones like Zinsser and Dulux ect

The problem doesn't define the man, good luck to Steven.

Make a great couple ❤

He just contradicted his self with the multi solve, first he said it will remove silicon then he put ct1 on the paper and sprayed it with multi solve

Paint avengers assemble!

As a DIYer, you guys have helped me out no end. Try and get The Candleman next

19:03 buy me and my mate a breakfast 😂

Thanks lads! You pair have been very kind whenever I have asked for help, and you have helped me immensley! I always look forward to your videos. All the best lads. 👊🏻

hi phil , bought spary gun today , mainly to do victorian cornice in my flat , used leyland vinyl matt (white) messing about with spary also diluted paint finding it runnong off cornice ..any tips thanks

we get great results with halftprimer and tikkurila everal aqua semi matt. top stuff

Haha nice one Phil I’ve been chatting to Steven on his channel recently. Nice to see a crossover 👍🏻

Little Green Intelligent Gloss, Caparol Haftprimer, Tikurilla Helmi, BIN Aqua - a minefield indeed, but all quality gear - I'm never without a tin of Permawhite. Not tried the Aqua Guard yet.. SO much to choose from. Love the matt finishes on furniture - even F&B Dead Flat is nice gear.

A further question. All of these are clearly great paints that come with a high price. For a low use domestic situation is the price really justified?

What’s your opinion re the following. I’m not a painter just diy. I have 13 internal 6 panel doors and I’m wondering which of these would be best and should I spray or brush/roll. For those decorators out there what would you charge per door to complete? Great vids. John

thank you for taking the effort to explain and sharing some great tips

after putting gold leaf how long shud I wait to put the varnish?

Great video, very helpful. But that Dulux paint is 25% more than the rest. Love Stuffx

In America we usually put Semi Gloss Enamel on doors and trim and the best paint I have come across is Ben Moore Regal Select

Hi Phil, I'm using Tikkuriĺa Otex Akva Primer as the 1st coat on painted wooden doors but in parts it's separating with what looks like oily spots - the cabinets were sanded and cleaned with clean spirit, any ideas what could be causing it?😮

I'm after an oil based finish but water based paint as it's exterior wood and the customer lives in a city, so doesn't want to leave the windows open for 24+ hours. Any advice would be amazing

I would imagine Phil that Scuffx spread rates are a little higher or better than the rest.

Phil, cheeky question. I have new MDF skirting and architrave ready primed from supplier. What water based undercoat and topcoat paint would you use?

Surprised Bedec aqua Satin was not on their mate. £22 for 1 litre 👍 Enjoy the video.

Colortrend is the best water based finish for wood,its hard wearing with a good skin and so nice to apply,stays white too,like all water based finishes you must apply two top coats for optimum finish

I have tried the heritage and as Phil says it’s nearest to putting an oil base on. That said I found the second coat pulled a little. Maybe a little water to ease would help. my favourite at the moment sprayed is isomat isolac lovely finish With scuff x a close second.

Found oil based white yellowing way too quick nowadays. Been on water based for a while now.. as you said,, if you can handle a brush properly you can handle Aqua Guard 😉 cheers you’ve been a great help for in figuring out what to try..

When you apply that filler, lay it off with a wet brush, not a sponge. If you do it properly, you don’t have to sand it. You want it to blend in with the render, not see the repair. You’re welcome

Just rake out the crack and use sand and cement. Then you got materials which may be used for many other tasks in future.

I’ll stick with oil based gloss None of these modern water based paints shine They are not hard wearing either Happy to be a dinosaur 👍

Hi Phil, Which professional pasting table would you recommend?

Clare should have her own show , she,s great

I really like the Fleetwood water based satinwood. Goes on well and has a great finish.

No WRX? Odd

God Lord. Don't use this crap or Helmi. It gets dissolved by sebum big time. Have numerous jobs where Helmi, Everal Aqua 40,10, Betolux Akva failed around door knobs, handles and handrails... Kitchens, doors, balusters and furniture.. End of story.

I wonder what this would be like through my gx21

Zinsser Allcoat for me, bullet proof

Why are you pricing the rest as 1 litre surely that's biased.. Aqua guard works out around £11 per litre if you have a trade account. Scuff guard aint got great opacity imo after testing this and touch gard. They ain't brilliant white either mate.. Think they are a ral white. Pm1 has a greyish tint which aids opacity better than chantilly lace. Give tikkurila intact a go! Its slightly thinner than AQ but doesn't creep on them mouldings. 😮 There is a hack with using aqua guard now.

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Have you done an upload like this for all the water based glosses you've tested?

I have been using Dulux trade diamond satin on my last few jobs, and find it really good, Have to adapt at laying it off, as it will run, 5ltrs less than 80.! I used Scuff X mix to paint my kitchen and found that nice, but thought the Dulux was just as durable once cured.

Colourtrend is easily the best water based paint.

I’m sure the tag line is mine field not mind field lol 😂

Can Scuff X go over old oil WW or need a zinzer?
