One Reason Why Your Deck Stain Stripper Is Not Working
Before you try to remove the old stain from a deck, it is imperative that you clean the deck first. If you do not, the stripper will not be able to penetrate the mold, mildew and dirt, and therefore, will not be effective.

Creating clean, straight lines: taping and sealing the tape with paint for the baseboards
Hi Im Fazio And look forward learning
Hi Dave,please can you tell me the brand and the color you using on the first part i m trying to find a match with my floor and your looks exactly what i m looking for.Much apreciated and btw great work😊
In the first part of the video I used “Dap’s Alex Plus” (color: Cedar Tan), and in the second part for the stairs I used “Big Stretch” (Tan). Thanks!
Between brushing it on then scraping off I think taping is quicker. Also, the green tape is cheaper than the blue.
Apologies, again, for the noise 🤣🤝
Your voice is calming.
U just changed my whoOooole LIFE, thank u!
Thank you!
I wish you would have used to paint colors that were very different from each other. It looks like the same color on wall and ceiling with a white line separating them
Can I use an old can of regular paint as a primer on bare wood?
Finally a video that isn't just pushing brands. I was getting recommended $75 primer. Ridiculous.
Hey Dave , will this work for lead paint. I’m restoring a house from the early 1900’s and the window hardware has got layers of old paint on it. They are brass.
What's that scraper to take the masking off bro
I get why people do it but over time looks pretty bad. The material traps dirt/ hair and difficult to clean. Is there a better solution?
Best case scenario is to never caulk these areas. If your transition between the floor and bottom of the base or base shoe looks bad and you don’t like the idea of caulk, then the only solution is to replace the base or base shoe.
Wow
What a fuss!!!! The over-zealous masking will cost more than the paint.
This guy is far to sensitive about primer. 😂😂
in the USA is like that... in other countries, they respect that bc one coat is one only, is thick heavier, durable, and is not expensive like here... the US loves to rip off everyone
no... do not do that
ASMR window painting.
incorrect. long brush strokes are required. better yet, use a small roller. no need for all that tape. the wrong tape. What the hell are you doing with the door frame? That is not how it is done. you shouldn't even be on here, dude.
Why didn't you give the actual name of the product you used? (if you did and I missed it -please forgive the questions)
Jasco’s Liquid Mask and Seal. He mentioned it 4 seconds into the video.
I have a question painters came in and painted my daughters room changed it from a gray. I think it was just a basic paint and she’s got a really expensive paint and I don’t know if they put a primer on it because it’s a one coat guaranteed well it didn’t guaranteed OK. I don’t think the prep done correctly. If there was flat spots were they patched and didn’t texture so I went in and I sanded down. I ended up standing down 90% of a room and putting touch on it and sending it down, do I need to put a primer but a primer on the wall so all the walls come out the same color
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
How long dose it take to go off before you can paint
It depends on a lot of factors, but normally, around 1 to 2 hours. If you put it on thick (a good thing), if it's cold, then it could take longer. With this specific product, you'll know when it's dry because it will be completely clear and not milky looking. Make sure the edges are also not milky looking!
I never knew this existed! Thank you for the video. I have 52 old windows in my greenhouse that need painting.
What about for a kitchen
I always use a flat finish on kitchen ceilings.
@@DaveMartin yeah cool thanks I went with the flat. I just figured since sometimes food might hit the ceiling, it would be easier to clean.
@@rawcredentials In my experience, most people don't clean their kitchen ceilings. If you do wind up getting some spaghetti sauce up there, you can just do a quick wipe-down, then touch it up with paint ;-). Overall, I just think flat looks better in the kitchen. Thanks for the question and the response. Best, Dave
What are your thoughts about emerald by sherwin williams and not priming before hand?
Thankfully someone talking sense. I've been a decorator for over 40 years and when I see DIY 'enthusiasts ' telling people to prime when changing colours...aaaargh ?!?! You prime bare wood or bare plaster...the FIRST coat on anything that's not been painted before. That's it. You can swap the word 'enthusiast' for 'crackpot ' if you want.
Spot on Dave .
The tape is absolutely critical. I used to think I could just run a bead and form with my finger nice and easy without tape but calk gets messy FAST, the tape is a must. Great video!
Absolutely agree about back priming. I'm surprised that the cedar is being painted though, I would have thought an oil stain would be a better choice aesthetically with the natural looking deck finish.
Great video thanks. I was wondering on large windows have you ever painted the edge with liquid mask, then filled the centre with std masking film taped over the inner edge of the liquid mask ?
I have, just make sure the tape sticks to the Liquid Mask. I wound up using masking tape, but make sure you don't put the masking tape on any glass (tape to the Liquid Mask itself) as it may be hard to remove from the glass especially if exposed to sunlight. I used masking tape as I found that using safe release tape/blue cloth did not adhere well to the Liquid Mask. Thanks!
This worked great! Appreciate the quick video so much. Many thanks.❤
Thanks!
This makes a lot of sense to me and has also been my experience, although limited. However, how do you keep a wet edge while rolling a 20-foot by 20-foot ceiling? I can't get across and back in time before the paint starts drying and leaves low angle light roller marks. I do all the cut in and 4" roller the edges all wet and let it completely dry before rolling the main area, this isn't a problem with two coats and doesn't show. However, when I go to roll the ceiling area, I can not get across even the shortest side in a 4-foot roll length in time before it starts drying. Do you do it in sections while feathering the edges, letting it completely dry and then doing multiple coats to even the color? I am at a loss. What I have been doing generally looks great except in extreme light situations, which is my concern. Thank You for any input. Cheers
With low and zero VOC paints, this is almost impossible. You can only move as fast as you can; you may not get rid of all lap marks, the idea here is just to make them much less noticeable. This is why I always try to use a dead flat paint, when applicable. If you are really worried about it, apply the paint in a very low temperature. If you can keep the place at about 50 degrees, apply the paint, then turn up the heat and run a fan after you are done, it allows for more open time as the paint will not dry as fast. In warm weather scenarios, it is almost impossible to keep the paint from drying too fast. I have not had great success with an extending agent; you just need to move really fast, which still may not completely solve the problem. Don't use a fan, that actually speeds up your dry time (airflow is key to helping paint dry). Finally, using a really great paint makes a world of difference. It still may dry fast, but it will dry more evenly with less noticeable lap lines. Always apply two coats, that also makes a difference. Thanks!
@@DaveMartin Thanks for the tips, I will give them a try. Just knowing that it is a "normal" problem lowers my concern about the results I am getting. I suppose I could also add more people for a 4 person choreographed ceiling painting square dance. If I do, I will post a video. :) Cheers.
I feel like this guy needs to watch some UA-cam videos about how to remove paint from hinges
what about sherwin Willians emerald? is similar to AURA?
I am unfamiliar with SW; I haven't used their paint in years.
Wow
THANK YOU!! This worked amazingly!! You may have just saved my sanity…I won’t have to look at those visually unappealing uneven lines anymore!! ❤❤❤
My pleasure!
Any tips for doing this is its been a long time since the ceiling was painted? Will the new ceiling paint show on the older ceiling paint even if its an exact color match? Thank you for sharing your techniques!
What color caulk did you use?
Turned out perfect, I couldn’t believe. I did follow the advice of another person here to remove tape when still wet if using satin (me🙋🏻♀️) and it came out just perfect. Thank you for this video.
My pleasure
Really good explanation and shown very well.
That was a solid approach to straight ;Ines,awesome!!!!
What if you asked the paint company for a credit because it didn’t work with one coat ? curious🤔
You know...ive nvr hired someone who has done everything in the contract...ive spoken to many people and we share this statement. Sometimes i wonder if the contracts are speaking negativity over the job or something! Idk 😅
I really like your channel! Really good solid info..glad i ran into you! I have a tendency not to ask contractors for licenses..idk maybe i trust too much or am a little intimated? But never again bc im really tired of things going wrong! Just hired someone and ugh!!! Im done..im going to be a boss B×÷=/ and ask for their license nxt time..F it!!!!
Lol...I'm listening as I'm painting and agree with you! I literally gave my brand new, used one time, spray gun away!!!! I closed all doors in my house and the partials were everywhere!!! Unbelievable...I'm a DYI'er and, 😢...I'd rather paint using a brush...it looked easy on the video (just what u said) but...nevermind lol! Thanks for the info!
That dont look good. My wife would say WTF.
anybody know what kind of Roll and where to buy it ?
Menards or home depot in carpet and flooring section
