    I have a question - what is the reason to go against the direction of the roller? What I've seen from other youtubers is that you have to roll in the direction of metal holder to avoid ridges and if you leave ridges on the primer that will also show on the paint.

      I use a few different brands of paint, the best paint on the market in Canada is definitely Benjamin Moore. If you go to the store they should be able to help you with all your needs, well I guess you will have to call them first and make sure they are open and doing curbside pickup if you are in Ontario.

    My man installed that greenboard moisture resistant drywall. I've always just painted drywall but heard I need to use primer. I bought Zinsser fast prime 2 but am nervous to use it. It is a new wall section on an existing wall and has been taped and mudded already. There is no real ventilation down there. Have you used this primer? Have you used it on greenboard? Does it smell bad? I bought a paint 3M mask but I have a parrot so I really have to be aware of smells and VOCs. Do I need to wear gloves too? Can I just paint without the primer? My paint is Pittsburgh, I think latex or water whatever. I read this primer you need to use oil based paint? I'm so confused now.

      So I'll just tell you what I do
      I use bullseye 123 primer om the new drywall, then I go over that when it's dry with 2 coats of latex paint
      I don't use a mask ( probably should have over the last 20 years of doing this lol) also I don't wear gloves again maybe I should have
      Also yes I did have a client once change her mind about painting because she has birds too and was worry about the smell vocs etc

      Hi there, thanks for watching and for the comment and question. I have used all kinds of brushes and all sizes, a number of years ago i found the perfect brush for me and what i do, mostly interior house painting, and that was the 1.5 inch angled Bennett proffesional series brush. I do like to wash them first a couple times before using because it will open up the brush a bit wider and thicker. Which I find is just right for me to get crisp straight lines. Bennett is a Canadian company and the products are made here in Canada. If you are in the states you might want to check with your local paint store to see if they carry them. Perhaps a home depot would as well.
