30 years ago I purchased a house that someone had painted high gloss blue from ceiling to floor. Luckily I knew someone who ran a paint store, & ultimately they recommended a high price paint called “Aqua Lock”… LIFESAVER!
The main product I’ve been using when this occurs or when people have put latex over oil is emerald urethane. It does a really good job at being a bandaid for this issue. Usually around 5 years before the issue shows its face again. However, I try my absolute best to talk people into just replacing their trim/doors when they do this as that’s truly the only real fix.
I have to admit I have never really thought about it. I have ran into issues with trim repainting over gloss and had it peel up thinking it was just cheap paint. It was actually my own ignorance in not correctly prepping the painted surface. I found your video when looking for prepping gloss surfaces for skim coat. Definitely want to make sure that adheres properly. Thank you for posting the right way and relieving my ignorance.
Rather than sand it all down, try covering it with Zinzer 1-2-3, let it cure for about a week and then paint it. It's also good if you have stains that come through. I painted fake wooden mouldings with a shiny paper-like finish, that started peeling after painting them when I moved in 22 years ago. Since then I've painted at least half a dozen times and not a single moulding, in the entire house, has peeled so far.
What if it's already done and I don't want to strip everything. Is there a clear coat I can apply to everything to prevent future peeling/scratching. The paint scratches off if I barely touch/scratch it
either strip, or wood fill and BIN primer. "Striping off the entire paint, lol" The sealing with a hairdryer is a temp solution. Use a primer like BIN shellac.
I have this problem but in entire doors. The house I reccently purchased has interior doors that were done very shotty. Should I sand the entire doors down or could this method work on a large scale?
You can sand it, but be sure to wear a mask. You might want to consider taking the door off the hinges outside and placing paint stripper on the door to get the layers off
no "professional" does their job right. you are more professional than most and for most to not watch your channel and watch crap they get what they pay for. To just even see what is trending on youtube shows things are not well.
Not pathetic. I'm here because I didn't know. Sanding first did not fix the problem with me. Every piece of trim in the house already had peeling paint when I moved in. Sanding and repainting... well now the new paint peels off of the old paint, lol. Maybe I just need new trim.
so the trick is to basically put 2 coats over the peeled areas, instead of one? Could have just said that 😂 i dont see what positive effect using the hair dryer could have on it working. All that happens when paint dries too quickly, that im aware of, is that the paint is not able to bond properly and can cause it to bubble...which does anything but help lol
Yeah, I think you’re failing to realize that regular latex paint will never adhere to oil based paints, shiny or not. Unless you’re using a paint that’s specifically formulated to adhere to oil based paint, this issue will arise. These paints still generally require some scuffing or liquid chemical dulling prior to application, but they are formulated to bond to oil based surfaces.
Awesome tip! Thank you for another terrific video!

Or the short version...sand, paint and dry with a hair dryer.

Pva primer with satin signature paint is as seen, on day two.

Will this work if someone painted latex over oil?
Thanks
Great tip eNm! Now I know what to do if I run into that problem! Thanks..... 👍👍
Thank you so much! Exactly my problem, and your method is awesome!!!

@@electronicsNmore I have 8 doors that need it so I think you're right. Thank you for the input!
What about an old closet door that’s peeling??
Hey thanks, that's a good one
Ive had this it took me hows to sand it all off and had to repaint it all

I have to say, it is VERY difficult to search for anything to do with latex and not gat any unsavory results

the word bullshit comes to mind , ok so you still got the indented surface and you no mention of how to paint over it so it is smooth to look at?
Oh, another entitled freeloader. I understand.
Cool, I never really thought about this, now I know
Thanks

Love that Emerald Urethane! Can’t go wrong with Hybrid!
@@AustinRobinson-c8i Best trim paint I’ve ever used. And with a good microfiber roller, it looks almost like it’s sprayed.
Most painters you hire are so sloppy. TH-cam will put them out of business
