I use a masking gun. There a few different ones. Some have paper, some have plastic. Both pull off with the tape adhered to the edge. One trick I learned is to not stretch the tape. Pulling the tape tight will cause it to have a tight edge and curl away from where you are trying to place it. Keep the tape slightly loose and it is easier to place. I have also have to place tape first then come back with a making gun in really tight areas. Take your time and play with it.. When it comes to paint prep is 95 percent of the work, sanding, taping and priming. You have to get those right before your paint can look good
Same, taping up and removal of tape to see finished lines would be great, thanks for all the content too, a man who takes pride in his work and shares his knowledge is appreciated, a top tradesman with an eye for attention to detail will always be a busy man, thanks from the UK 🇬🇧
That's what I love about watching your videos is that your modest and never think your better then what you do but believe me your work is so professional I wished I could go with you on jobs to observe but the videos are so a tremendous help. Thanks so much!
I have been building for over 30 years. Trim work is and always has been very intimidating. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. It has changed the way I do trim and my work shows for it. I am no where near your expertise level with trim, but I am much better at it thanks to you. I have learned better "layout," "cutting" and "joining" techniques from you. I really enjoy and appreciate the amount of detail and thoroughness you provide. A lot of people leave out a step here or there that turns out to be a vital in the overall completion. Keep up the good work and I always look forward to your next video. I watch them almost daily.
Huge fan!!! Learned a lot of carpentry tricks from you in the short time I've been watching! Have you tried the new Senco 21lxp nail gun? It's amazing! I have been painting for over 20 years and would like to help you step up your spray game. Here's some of my techniques: Turn sprayer pressure down until tip starts tailing, then turn it up slightly until it doesn't, this is the optimal pressure which will reduce overspray drastically, use less paint and allow more control. I use a fflp410 tip almost exclusively for all trim with almost all latex products. Back of the surface 10"-12" and overlap each pass 50%. Turn your tip 90 degrees and you can spray an entire door or window jamb/casing without starting/stopping. Get yourself some zip poles and avoid taping to ceilings. They also make zippers for any plastic that seal of the room completely and eliminate any chance of overspray drifting out thru cut or overlapped plastic. I often run a portable 12" ventilation exhaust fan with a furnace filter in front of it with ductwork to outside air to help remove the "fog", help the paint dry faster and reduce the humidity in the room. Try Benjamin Moore Scuff-x satin or semigloss for trim paint, it is a game changer in the trim paint world, it dries faster, sands like lacquer and it's tough as nails compared to all other trim paints.
I just sprayed my bathrom wainscoting. I left the spray gun submerged in fresh water, to help prevent clogging. Waited about 22 hours between coats, 0 clogging and worked perfectly.
All things aside about you being a great craftsmen (because you definitely are) and I don't know when the last time was you heard this, but it's still not enough IMO. Thank you for your service!
That double orifice 208 makes a world of difference! I’ve been painting fine custom homes in Leland, Michigan for the past 17 years and we usually use odd number tips for spraying and back brushing and even number tips for fine finish. Nice work, just make sure to hit the tops of the casings and under the sills.
I stay about a foot away, proceeds at 5 to 7 inches, but hey, if it works and it appears to, just keep going. Good stuff, Richard. Watching a guy do the work and having the explanation of the process saves new guys from major screw ups.
That was helpful. I have a love hate relationship with my airless. I have been spraying with an hvlp rig for years, but I see you do this and I want to figure it out. It’s so much faster and that finish on the judge’s wall was amazing.
Hello from Indiana! I just wanted you to know that your videos really helped me complete my master bedroom. Mainly your trim tip videos. Took me longer to finish it, but I took my time and used your tips and tricks it looks amazing. Wish I could send a picture for proof. Even though I worked with an Amish crew for a few years I’d never really installed trim or molding period. It’s a lot of work to make sure everything is cut right. I think I measured 5 times before I even thought about making my first cut. Lol I’m hooked on your videos now, love the accent walls you do, thinking about trying to make a design for my fireplace wall.
Great video Richard! Really appreciate your perspective and approach on painting. Helps a lot to understand your thoughts as you go through this process! Thank you for posting, very good as always.
Man I love Emerald! I've been putting crown and base in my house and always finish it off with three coats of Emerald. Super durable, self levels and looks amazing!
Absolutely love all your content. You've become my go-to channel 👊 I have one request. Can you upload a full video about your sprayer and how you set it up/clean it. I am pretty sure you have a video showing your sprayer, but not sure how you clean it up after each use.
I would like to see the prep work prior to priming. I know how prep is 95% of a great paint job and filling nail holes, closing gaps(not that you ever have any!), and the general process to make the job look flawless. At least from this perspective, the work looks flawless! Thank you for taking the time with the details. It has been very inspiring and more than helpful for me. Sincerely!
Goodness..I sprayed my first baby's room with beer and my EVO Harleys oil spray! Glad she grow up not hating me and became a District Attorney!...Love you channel!
Hey man, I love watching your videos, just a friendly tip; you can double pass your tops and do them last as overspray can get back on top of them. Also, work on that flick in the wrist so you’re not moving your entire arm. I love your work!
I think it would be cool if in one of your videos you included the removal of all the plastic and painters tape to reveal the freshly painted service against the walls. Make it a little cinematic ya know ;) also your work is amazing!
Lower pressure is the way I used to go, especially with a fine finish tip. Just enough pressure to keep the paint from spitting from the tip and without fingering at the edges of the spray pattern. Keep yall's minds out of the gutter. Even though one coat can cover when spraying, two coats give consistent sheen without flash overlap and durability. You're a perfectionist, so I'm sure that it's on point.
Check out Benjamin Moors Scuff X paint. It comes out like a lacquer finish without all the lacquer headaches. I have had a lot of success with its durability, sheen, color saturation etc. Might be a fun trial! Great way to show of your craft.
This was one of your best productions! Really appreciated all the helpful advice. I like to paint my jobs too. I have a Graco hvlp turbine, but I think I'll put a 208fflp on the Graco 190 and give it a shot next time.
Great overlapping and spraying overall. Does your BIN ever flake off your plastic when the air hits it when sorry if your final coat? I use paper around my edges because it snows shellac if the plastic flutters with dry shellac on it
Nice video, although it may not matter as much since it’s wainscoting (low not at eye level) a additional point to bear in mind is to be conscious of dry spray. When spraying a wall of wainscoting when the top cap is sprayed first there will be a mist of overspray that falls down onto the lower panels, due to its fineness it will be dry typically by the time it gets buried in a sprayed coat thus will Telegraph they the film. Always start low and finish high👍👊👍👊
Hi Buddy, have you ever done a costing video for this kind of job, from installing to painting? Love your work and attention to detail. Greetings from Germany 💪
Hey Richard, I know you use to use a 310 tip before, what would be the difference with the one you are using now? I', asking because I will be spraying all the crown molding that I already installed and it really came out very good just by watching your videos which is something that I really appreciate. Thank you, Orlando.
Thanks. I use a several different tips but 210 and 310 are my favorites. It just depends on what im spraying. If its a 5" crown I would go with the 310. As long as you can get it covered in 1 or two passes
@@FinishCarpentryTV Thank you for letting me know, also not using the Solo paint anymore? I noticed you used Emerald. Thank you again for all your guidance it really helped me to get great results even better than expected.
The 210, 310 means the width of the fan spray x2 3=6" 2=4". The size of the tip 10 or 15 refers to the opening of the orifice 10=10/1000, 15=15/1000 used for different viscosities of paint IE lacquer 10, oil based or latex15.
What was your first spray job and how did it turn out? I’m installing finger joint pine in ship lap pattern and looking to spray it afterwards (my own house). Just curious how your first experience was
@@muscleman369 A wet edge means that you keep moving while painting and do not let a section dry so that the paint can flow into each other. Think of it like surface tension with liquid and how it will flow together when they touch.
What sprayer would you recommend? I am a smaller contractor who only has one carpenter with me but we always get into a client wanting us to paint what we do. I've rolled and brushed most everything but have some bead board and trim on a front porch that sure would save a ton of time to spray. Awesome channel. I've followed you for last year or better
Hey friend I'm going to be doing some walls like in your video. The spray gun looks like an awsome way to paint. I have moderatly hard water. will that cause a problem with the paint. It is so fast I won't mind painting again. thanks.
Hi! Love your videos, keep them coming. I have an unrelated question to ask as i am facing an issue here. I need to install a baseboard on a 18 foot long wavy wall, sometimes off by 1/4”. How would you approach this challenge to get a decent job? Thanks so much!
As a painter, my recommendation on pressure would be to use the smallest amount of pressure that will still atomize the product with an even spray pattern. I usually start with pressure on the low end, test my spray and if I see lines at the end I go up on the pressure til those lines go away and it's an even spray. The benefits of lower pressure: Less overspray Less risk of runs because there's too much product You can move slower and are less likely to miss something Better quality finish, no orange peel texture I also have to say the prep in this room is immaculate, I want my jobs to look like this.
I don't have that same exact sprayer, but man do I love my airless. With that said, I absolutely hate the prep and mask and abhor the cleanup. For small jobs like what you showed in this video, I would have brushed. If it was a larger job, airless all the way but that's just me. I don't use paint thinner to clean, just water but I've only ran latex paint through the machine, no oil based.
Nice video once again, I wish you were a pro so I could learn something LOL,,, kidding aside, the only thing that makes a person a so called pro is the amount of money they make... lol. in your case, you are a pro in both quality and passion, two ingredients that always go's into great result and you have both and then some.. I used to be a painter in an industrial filter manufacture that built filter housings for Ingersoll Rand, the funny thing is, at the time I started painting, I had never painted anything in my life, the boos I had at the time ended up quitting and walking out one day, well this left us in a bit of a pickle as you might imagine, we had orders that needed to be filled and no one to paint... So, with no direction, I took it upon myself to start painting, I started out with mixing the paint with lacquer thinner to what I thought weas the right consistency, I took 4 or 5 old 55 gal/drums and practiced on those, and then within 30 minutes I started painting my first unit and I messed it all up, runs all over the place, I washed it all down and re painted and it came out pretty good and from there, the rest as they say was history. The really strange thing is that the company for almost a month never even acknowledged or even wondered who was painting and filling these orders, eventually they posted the paint job on the job board and of course I applied and officially got the job. LOL The company was shit, never once a thank you for takin g it upon myself, no recognition nothing, not that that is what I was after but it was just strange, after almost a year, I too ended up walking out and quitting, the company, like China is asshole LOL. Anyway, in very short time I was very good at painting with no formal training or help or insight. just do it. that's the motto, just do it. If there is one thing I have learned in my life' is that humans are amazing, we can do anything we put our minds too, but if their is no goal their is no purpose and without purpose their can be no reason and without reason there is not passion. and on and on. so have a goal and the rest will come if you stop being afraid and JUST DO IT, it may be hard and you may fail a few times, but after 3 attempts. you'll be golden,
I’m getting ready to spray the same stuff on some cabinets, I’ve got to get a short whip hose like that.. Could you turn your fan 90 deg while shooting the window casing? Wouldn’t have to contort so much...
Yes but that fan thing screws on tight and you have to play with it, turn it re tighten it then again to put it straight. Your gloved hands will have paint or get paint on them and it all gets sloppy. So just turn your wrist and elbow it's a lot faster. I've been spraying for about 3 years and i'd just snap my wrist back fast and not go upside down. I have never seen a carpenter spray before so he is very unique in that.
Thank you for all your wonderful videos! Do you ever encounter wavy or uneven walls when wainscoting? Inspired by your work, I built panels which came out great but now I’m faced with one 15 ft wall in my dining room that has two areas where there is a 1/4 (2 ft) and 1/2 inch gap (1 ft) from the wall. When you encounter uneven drywall what do you do? Shim? Float? A response or video on these types of issues would be very helpful. Thank you.
I am considering purchasing the same gun, tip, and airless sprayer that you used on this project for light field work. I normally spray catalyzed lacquer and clear coat with a Cat-X HVLP in the spray booth of my cabinet shop, but occasionally have to do some trim work on-site to complete a kitchen or bookcase I have built. Such items don't always jlend themselves well to prefinishing before installation. Also, it's impractical to try to spray lacquers on-site as the clients will have to leave their home until the toxic vapors dissipate. Not a great plan. Can you recommend a specific water-based paint that will spray nicely with this setup that I can get SW to mix for a compatible match? Thank you in advance.
Just a quick question watching a video and noticed u had fake dewalt battery was just wondering if they were any good was thinking about grabbing some but didn't want to waste my money
Did you shoot the satin or semi Emerald? I almost exclusively use Advance, but after the brief construction lockdown was lifted here back in the spring, I ended up giving Emerald a try b/c Sherwin-Williams had a much easier online order/pickup process than my BM store. The satin deep base used for the door color (almost black) was fine - really liked it. But I had all kinds of issues with the white wall color which was the high hide white base. It passed the eye test when done but it was rough to the touch almost like chalk or milk paint (I spray over BIN shellac as well). I went and got more at a different store to make sure it wasn't a bad lot and tried spray/brush/roll over different primers etc - same result no matter the process.
Awesome demonstration of spraying the wainscoting.. just a heads up, it looks like you left the spray gun stream on high pressure.. that won’t be fun when you go to turn it on next job and forget you did that..
Got a random question for ya: Do you think I can accurately cut 4in baseboard with the M18 7 1/4 miter saw? If so, what is the best method? If not, it looks like I will be buying a new tool :P Rather not as those bigger saws aren't cheap.
How would you go about doing a Greek Key panel for Weinscoting. I tried to post a picture on this but I dont know how. I Instagramed it to you instead. You are the only one I would take that advice from.
How can you repair a crown molding joint that separated from expansion and contraction without removing the whole thing? And no I didn’t do the install, I just moved in
Not sure about anyone else but I would like to see the process you use to get everything taped off leading up to paint.
I use a masking gun. There a few different ones. Some have paper, some have plastic. Both pull off with the tape adhered to the edge. One trick I learned is to not stretch the tape. Pulling the tape tight will cause it to have a tight edge and curl away from where you are trying to place it. Keep the tape slightly loose and it is easier to place. I have also have to place tape first then come back with a making gun in really tight areas. Take your time and play with it..

@@propertymaintenancesouthwe3111 the removal of the tape is always seem to be absent from painting videos.
theres a great brush trick on one of StudPacks videos. He uses a rag on a chisel on crown and baseboard and it looks AMAZING.
🙀🙀 do you need someone to hold your hand to use the washroom too

I don't have that same exact sprayer, but man do I love my airless. With that said, I absolutely hate the prep and mask and abhor the cleanup. For small jobs like what you showed in this video, I would have brushed. If it was a larger job, airless all the way but that's just me. I don't use paint thinner to clean, just water but I've only ran latex paint through the machine, no oil based.
Nice video once again, I wish you were a pro so I could learn something LOL,,, kidding aside, the only thing that makes a person a so called pro is the amount of money they make... lol. in your case, you are a pro in both quality and passion, two ingredients that always go's into great result and you have both and then some..
I used to be a painter in an industrial filter manufacture that built filter housings for Ingersoll Rand, the funny thing is, at the time I started painting, I had never painted anything in my life, the boos I had at the time ended up quitting and walking out one day, well this left us in a bit of a pickle as you might imagine, we had orders that needed to be filled and no one to paint...
So, with no direction, I took it upon myself to start painting, I started out with mixing the paint with lacquer thinner to what I thought weas the right consistency, I took 4 or 5 old 55 gal/drums and practiced on those, and then within 30 minutes I started painting my first unit and I messed it all up, runs all over the place, I washed it all down and re painted and it came out pretty good and from there, the rest as they say was history.
The really strange thing is that the company for almost a month never even acknowledged or even wondered who was painting and filling these orders, eventually they posted the paint job on the job board and of course I applied and officially got the job. LOL
The company was shit, never once a thank you for takin g it upon myself, no recognition nothing, not that that is what I was after but it was just strange, after almost a year, I too ended up walking out and quitting, the company, like China is asshole LOL.
Anyway, in very short time I was very good at painting with no formal training or help or insight. just do it. that's the motto, just do it.
If there is one thing I have learned in my life' is that humans are amazing, we can do anything we put our minds too, but if their is no goal their is no purpose and without purpose their can be no reason and without reason there is not passion. and on and on. so have a goal and the rest will come if you stop being afraid and JUST DO IT, it may be hard and you may fail a few times, but after 3 attempts. you'll be golden,
would a u.v light help the drying process faster? so you wouldn't have to wait as long?
Great video. Wondering when is a good time to take off the tape and which method works the best?
Lowest pressure to eliminate tales. Less overspray and paint used that way.
Shhhhh jk. He's got 90 percent of it down.
I’m getting ready to spray the same stuff on some cabinets, I’ve got to get a short whip hose like that..
Could you turn your fan 90 deg while shooting the window casing? Wouldn’t have to contort so much...
Yes but that fan thing screws on tight and you have to play with it, turn it re tighten it then again to put it straight. Your gloved hands will have paint or get paint on them and it all gets sloppy. So just turn your wrist and elbow it's a lot faster. I've been spraying for about 3 years and i'd just snap my wrist back fast and not go upside down. I have never seen a carpenter spray before so he is very unique in that.
I have a graco magnum x5, after I got done spraying and it was dry. The walls had a sandpaper feeling to it. What do you think was the problem
Awesome work as always. Great video 👍🏻
what kind of plasic is on the floor? Did you prime it with BIN? was there bridging when you pulled the tape?
Thank you for all your wonderful videos! Do you ever encounter wavy or uneven walls when wainscoting? Inspired by your work, I built panels which came out great but now I’m faced with one 15 ft wall in my dining room that has two areas where there is a 1/4 (2 ft) and 1/2 inch gap (1 ft) from the wall. When you encounter uneven drywall what do you do? Shim? Float? A response or video on these types of issues would be very helpful. Thank you.
How about a video on your process for masking off a room to be painted? There are no videos about that out there
Nice man!!! Turned out great!!
I am considering purchasing the same gun, tip, and airless sprayer that you used on this project for light field work. I normally spray catalyzed lacquer and clear coat with a Cat-X HVLP in the spray booth of my cabinet shop, but occasionally have to do some trim work on-site to complete a kitchen or bookcase I have built. Such items don't always jlend themselves well to prefinishing before installation. Also, it's impractical to try to spray lacquers on-site as the clients will have to leave their home until the toxic vapors dissipate. Not a great plan.
Can you recommend a specific water-based paint that will spray nicely with this setup that I can get SW to mix for a compatible match? Thank you in advance.
Just a quick question watching a video and noticed u had fake dewalt battery was just wondering if they were any good was thinking about grabbing some but didn't want to waste my money
Did you shoot the satin or semi Emerald? I almost exclusively use Advance, but after the brief construction lockdown was lifted here back in the spring, I ended up giving Emerald a try b/c Sherwin-Williams had a much easier online order/pickup process than my BM store. The satin deep base used for the door color (almost black) was fine - really liked it. But I had all kinds of issues with the white wall color which was the high hide white base. It passed the eye test when done but it was rough to the touch almost like chalk or milk paint (I spray over BIN shellac as well). I went and got more at a different store to make sure it wasn't a bad lot and tried spray/brush/roll over different primers etc - same result no matter the process.
What spray tip do you use for base and case and small trim
Awesome demonstration of spraying the wainscoting.. just a heads up, it looks like you left the spray gun stream on high pressure.. that won’t be fun when you go to turn it on next job and forget you did that..
How do Sr. Denoff FFLP 310 airless tips compare to Graco FFLP 310 airless tips? Is there any difference?
"I dont know what I am doing but I have made every mistake in the book to know what not to do at this point."
-FCT
I felt that.
Got a random question for ya: Do you think I can accurately cut 4in baseboard with the M18 7 1/4 miter saw? If so, what is the best method? If not, it looks like I will be buying a new tool :P Rather not as those bigger saws aren't cheap.
How would you go about doing a Greek Key panel for Weinscoting. I tried to post a picture on this but I dont know how. I Instagramed it to you instead. You are the only one I would take that advice from.
208 is good so is a 210 for some reason I was getting nervous you look like you spray a little close for my comfort lol but looks great
411 or 413 on a big surface like that . Looks amazing
Why did you not spray the top of the window casing, the very top, horizontal against the wall? Do you ever use FLO CONTROL fluid?
Great job
Richard, out here sounding like Ray Romano. 😁😁😁
Nice camera. Have you did a vid. on it and the vid data card ????
How can you repair a crown molding joint that separated from expansion and contraction without removing the whole thing? And no I didn’t do the install, I just moved in
Is this the preferred paint for this type of work? How about the primer? Thanks.
Per usual, nice job!👍🏼
