The Power of Focus: How Henry Maez Turned Challenges into Opportunities
Great interview I really wanted to hear Shane’s story
Thanks!! We had a great time and Shane has in incredible story...
it's beauty from ashes
First time viewer and such a coincidence that your featured guest in today’s episode is Cait from Vintage Restored by Cait. That’s because earlier today, I was recommending my friend in New Jersey consider Fine Paints of Europe brand for her kitchen refresh and told how their site has a list of certified pros from which I had noted Cait’s info back in 2023, given her service area was Long Island (where I live) and her work looked great. So, I sent my friend that page link, which I had saved from before. Then later this evening, I happened to Google Cait’s business to see if there was more updated info, and that’s how I found this podcast! Great interviewing, Mr. Shrum, and so interesting to learn more about Ms. Cait and her business journey. Definitely will share w/ my friend, who’d be thrilled to contract a skilled woman who not only enjoys but also endeavors to produce such exquisite work!
I'm loving the the more business, entrepreneurial episodes.
Shout out to my boi Matty mad professor 🤣🤣🤣 Matt's shop is round the corner from me. He's played a huge part in the finishes I'm currently achieving. Shout out Johnny Correa to The IG spraying community is so small.
Another great Video. I can't remember how I came about your channel but have watched, listened to a few episodes now. Particularly liked Konstantin's one as he was one of the guys I came across when starting on my cabinet refinishing journey. Loved this episode. Denny has a wealth of knowledge. I'm moving into a new shop and had never heard of ventless extraction before so thanks for that one. 🇯🇲🇬🇧
I learn a lot from Konstantin. When I started my refinishing business his videos was very helpful. His very good man
You came thru with this video thanks G !
Might find more useful info on the full episode. 😜😜
That’s not helpful at all.
This episode was beyond amazing, can't wait to watch Peter's episode. Thanks for doing this, Zach.
@@GuitarFinishing1 Thanks. It’s a favorite for sure. I love geeking out.
I love to finish after a good edging session 💦
Great video!
Great interview! I wonder if the ICA top coat she refers to at 28:57 is the LAC-367?
What an episode! Henry is such an awesome force with an amazing crew. I’m excited to see his business grow.
Christian is such an awesome force for this industry, glad you got to have him on quick
🎉🎉🎉🎉
As a finishing channel also, this podcast is very exciting! Subscribed
I am really pleased to hear that expert, I ask him to write a book for us and next generations ..
Why pay the extra money for a surfprep when you can just get a Ekasand for much cheaper. Arent they the same thing just different labels. Made by same place....
To each their own brother, I appreciate you watching but please respect that this episode is about Surfprep not Ekasand. Surprep is an incredible company that takes the customer experience to the next level.
Learned so much. Alex Koves 💪
Alex was awesome and shared some killer insight
awesome good ep
Thanks!!!
Not an entirely fair comparison as MDF is much denser and far less porous than wood. On old wooden cabinets (oak) I might apply 4-5 coats (2 primer + 3 pre-cat) if using white. MDF is never more than 3 with the same product.
Bwahaha. As a finisher. I would have to agree with you.
I would say the exact opposite, building it is hard part, painting it is easy. lol
A few details missing. The big nut is what holds the whole thing on. Screw it back on too tight and you can strip the threads on the head right off. The knob nut and screw slot in the needle just control the Prime/Spray adjustment. Knob nut screwed in too far will keep in in Prime mode all the time. You need to put a screwdriver thru the 8mm socket to hold the needle while turning the nut. The o-ring adds resistance to pulling the needle out. I had to work it to get mine out. Finally, not sure why you would need to replace the whole assembly. It's just a needle that closes off a hole. Not sure how it wears out. Mine just needed a new 1/2" O.D. 3/8" I.D. O-ring because it was leaking.
Thats awesome info, thank you for sharing.
Love hearing these interviews and the way you are supporting our industry Zach!
Thank you!! I’m having a blast doing them. They keep getting better and better.
I just used the precat on my cabinets. It stinks like bloody hell, and probably gave me liver cancer but looks nice. but I did 3 coats
Good day sir, i cant seem to get the screw off the prime knob. Srcew just turns and turns and does nothing. Any suggestions? Thanks much great content
😬😬 May be broke or stripped. That may need someone with a little more knowledge regarding repairs than myself.
My prime valve drips a little. Do you think it needs a new valve or just taken apart and cleaned?
Is this a 2 k solvent based poly. Looks great
Yes sir it is.
Thank you for the response. I appreciate it very much. Do you ever use 2 k poly that’s water based and I was wondering if so how the look and feel compares to the solvent base. Thanks for the input and love the videos.
@@jasonadams6442 yes. I have used multiple 2K WB polys. They are really good. If I were to put a number to it. I would say WB polys are 80-85 maybe 90 of solvent coatings.
Good day sir, do you know torque specs for head bolts thanks much good content 👌🏽
3 yrs late but, Apples to Apples Brother
So much screen takin up by subtitles no clue wtf this is
sorry, its waterbased UV coating on a flatline being cured.
I always sand with 150. Anything less your Polishing
No offense but the lacquer looks much better and real where the poly looks the mdf that it is also if the lacquer was done on mdf that would be a fair comparable as we can see the grain on the lacquer confirming your lacquer sample is not mdf and still looks awesome
I guess that depends on the look you want. Personally when I am applying a pigmented topcoat I don't want to see any woodgrain. That is what stain and/or clear coat are for. I'm not saying precat lacquer is not a good product, it has its place in the market but I can say with confidence that solvent 2K poly will outperform precat in every aspect; durability, ease of use, scratch mar, chemical, feel, etc. You name it and 2K poly will beat precat. Not to mention that you don't have to worry about DFT. Thanks for the convo, I love talking coatings.
Except isocyanate means you need an air fed mask with pu?
I only use pre catalyzed lacquer or conversion varnish. The 2k doesn't look and feel like a professional finish from what I've seen
I'm not sure what 2K solvent poly you have used but it feels better in every way vs a precut lacquer. Lacquer is cold and hard. 2k poly is warm, soft, and velvety, it feels more like satin impervo.
hold up a minute... what is door number 2 made of? not a fair comparison if one is oak other is mdf... oak grain is a bitch to kill out and need auqacoat or something similar...
Sorry, about the delayed repose, neither was oak. one was full poplar and the other was poplar frame with mdf panel if I remember correctly. That project was from a while back. Got more videos coming soon as I am getting back to what I love. Education, training, and learning.
Does oil-based primer come in clear? How about oil-based paint?
Wrong primer over drywall, now paint pealing. Can l go over water-based paint with oil based primer w/ o removing original paint? What's left of it! Or do l need to strip and redo my 10 x 24 shed? PLZ HELP!
Where can I buy aed655 I’m in the uk
With 2k white poly do you have to reduce it Also what tip size you recommend for 2k white poly?
I really hope you answer my question. I have the same machine but when I’m spraying and I look at the flow of the water or paint come out of the tip, it shakes aaaalll the time . What can I do to fix it? Where do I buy the parts
Two pack is the way to go. You'll love the advantages it gives you. Tony
How about new MDF cabinets. Would you use 2k waterborne primer and 2K topcoat?
Mine doesn’t even prime or anything what’s wrong ?
hi my guy, nice video. I have a question, on my Titan ED655 i have a small hole underneath the machine and i never noticed it some im wondering if they are all like that or if mine broke o.o
Weird how his comparing a one piece mdf to a door that clearly is made out of wood, ofcourse the mdf will look smoother wtf 😳 😂
a peak at the flat panel tells that story, rails crappy, panel smooth.
My MDF cabinets have a better finish them my new car
@tmilholin7552 well yea, most cars unless they are luxury they will have a orange peel on them, car paint is more treaky than cabinet paint
No mention of isocyanates bud?
Do you know of a product compatible with the 2k that can fill oak grain?
All of the little plastic/rubber gaskets and o-rings can go in as well?
I second that question.
You put the poly on mdf
