    WHO WE ARE
    In 2015 we quit our lives in the city to buy bare land in the country and build a timber frame home from scratch with our bare hands, debt-free, with no prior experience. It’s been a wild ride of ups, downs, highs, lows, rain and rainbows, but we haven’t lost sight of our goals and have gotten further in three years than we thought we’d get in ten. Join us as we build our house, develop our rural property, practice traditional skills such as gardening and food preservation and go to even greater heights (literally) of exploring the world through aviation as a new private pilot!

      Just a quick question or 3 lol, I know you hate to paint, if you used a rattle can, did you shake the can for 3 mins before spraying so the metal ball that rattles around can mix up the paint or did you start spraying right away ?, that can cause the paint to either look uneven or look a little dull in some spots and shinny in other spots and can cause streaks if the paint isn't mixed enough, example: if you get glossy paint and you don't shake the can more then 5 seconds then that paint can look dull but if you shake it for 3 minutes and let it mix fully then it will look right, how many coats of paint did you spray on ?
      If you spray 1 coat very thick then you risk having runs, if you spray 1 thin coat then it looks dry and doesn't cover good, if you spray 1 thin coat then let it flash for 10 mins then spray another 1 thin even coat then let it flash for another 10 mins then spray 1 last thin coat then you can either let it dry and be done or add a clear coat to bring more shine out with 2 thin even coats with 10 min flash times between each coat.
      For the clear coat if you use it make sure you shake it just like the paint for 3 mins before spraying it so it can mix it up good. How did you spray the paint ?, did you spray fast or slow, did you spray in even over lapping a little on each pass, did you spray 2 inches from the surface of the wood or 6 inches from the surface, What type of paint did you try to spray ?, is it for wood or other. Did you ask about the paint before trying to use it ?
      Just in case you don't know what flash time is it has to do with the amount of time it takes for the solvents to evaporate before applying the next coat of paint. The kind of paint you use, which type of paint job you want and the temperature all affect the duration of a flash coat.
      Wow I typed a lot lol, your videos are awesome, keep doing what your doing man and good luck on the house. Sending happy thoughts your way :)

    Jessie, Wood filler is the all important step of filling the wood grain pores to produce the perfectly flat surface that gives the final clear finish a glass-smooth shine. They are many types available but my favorite is Aqua Coat.

  • @kevinmartin7760
    @kevinmartin7760 4 роки тому +9

    As far as I'm concerned it isn't a "butcher block" unless it is end-grain. The idea is that you can cut directly on it. If a knife hits endgrain, the grain will close up again. If the knife hits side-grain it will split it, and cross-grain will be cut, leading to splintering of the wood, even if you use hardwood (which you aren't).

    • @nickopedia5669

    having been a woodworker for almost 40 years. paint is not a pore filler. paint will never fill anything. for a perfectly smooth no pore finish - before priming put a fine grain filler on the wood, then sand it smooth. then prime , then color coat. only prime with Zinnser 123, pretty much anything else isn't worth it. works everytime. woodwise is a super fine grain filler i use

    • @suburbanhobbyist2752
      @suburbanhobbyist2752 4 роки тому

      THIS! The thing is he isn't doing himself any favors with the type/grade of plywood he is using. Having said that, there are many different types of grain fillers out there that do the trick and would solve this problem entirely. I don't agree that Zinnser 123 is the only primer worth using. I've used many different types with great results (and some bad ones too!). Anyway, yes, paint is not a grain filler and trying to make it that only leads to frustration.

  • @thistledownwoodcraft3426
    @thistledownwoodcraft3426 4 роки тому +3

    So when painting raw wood, you need a sanding sealer first, then primer then paint. Done in this order, sanding between each coat, you can do a great job with 2 coats of paint. First one is color coat, second is finish coat.

    @OffGridOverLander 4 роки тому +5

    If you want a smooth surface with no grain, then you need to use a high fill primer, and then SAND it. Give up the instant gratification idea with regards to paint, you have to put nearly as much effort into the finish as you do the product. You can still salvage your paint, just sand it down using 220-600 grit and THEN you can spray the final coats of paint. This is across the entire bit of paint end-users, cars (with smooth surfaces) still have to be sanded otherwise you get “orange peel” which is the same thing as what you are dealing with. That has to be sanded smooth, and then the final clear coat can be applied and then polished.

  • @michaelmunro2820
    @michaelmunro2820 4 роки тому +4

    The secrete to paint is the amount of solids in it. The more solids, the more it cost. Use only alkyd based paint. A sprayed on primer is actually a filler/primer. If you sand it down to the wood to make it ultra smooth you have just sanded off the primer. Then when you apply the finish coat it still reacts like you never primed it and this seems to be your problem. One coat of primer and two coats are all that is needed.

    You needed to use a sanding sealer with a high silica content. This will fill your "divots". Sand and fill again if necessary before applying the finish coat. Painting is 90 to 95% preparation before the final coat. There are no shortcuts to doing it right.

    Jesse the problem with the paint not taking could be because you lacquered the wood first hence making a seal on the wood, then trying to paint ontop of it and hoping it will sink into the wood grain and giving you a lovely light reflecting finish. The sealant has basically stopped the paint from penetrating the wood surface.

    If you're looking for a smooth finish, several coats of lacquer sanding sealer, sanded between each coat. Finish off with a couple coats of your satin. There are several companies making some very good water based finishes. General Finishes is one.

    Have to use Sanding Sealer!
    Primer makes the paint stick but doesnt hide the grain.
    "Sanding Sealer"... It says that on the can. It's not just a generic description of a result.

    You have to de-nib by sanding between every coat of paint, there is no other way, you could put on 60 coats of paint but without the sanding between it will not look good. I did not comment last time because someone else had already told you to sand. Listen to Graham Nightingale he has even put it in capitals.

    On the cabinets problems with the paint. Take a few lessons from autobody repairers. Lightly sand or use a fine to very fine steel wool. Between coats of paint. This will fill in the low spots and open up the high spots to take paint. My rule of thumb is for every coat of paint you use a clear coat or a satin coat. Their is not any short cut to cover the grain on wood.

    doug fir will bleed pitch after you stain or paint it, particularly once it gets warm/hot. if it's not kiln dried you are likely going to have problems. don't get me wrong, i applaud your effort and initiative.

    Sand down and use a high fill primer. Fills in the gaps and creases then paint. High fill is often used in automotive applications.

    You need to fill the voids before you paint and sand. Bondo works great for edges and flats and caulk the inside edges with painter's caulk. Smooth with your fingers. Paint with a primer sealer then lightly sand with 220. Spray your primer filler and lightly da sand with 220+ till you get surface texture where you like. Then spray

    ok so did prime, but yes white is used for white or light-colored finishes. if primer soaks in then need 2 coats of primer. colored paint costs more than a primer.

    Get a spray gun, those cans are for little touch ups, otherwise super expensive! Better still a roller and paint pad is the better approach, brushing takes some skill.

  • @stephboeker7835
    @stephboeker7835 4 роки тому +2

    Paint or finish coats can only cover as flat as the base coat it is applied to. In the case of paint, you use primer (maybe 2 coats sanding each until it is flat or fills in the grain). I the case of clear coats, sanding sealer is the ticket and should only need one coat w/ sanding between the sealer and clear finish coats (maybe 2 finish coats at most).
    Primer & sealer coats must be flat for the paint to be flat !!

    A good coat or two of wood sealer with a light sanding between coats would have eliminated the 'surface tension' issue. Like all paint jobs it's 80% prep and 20% applying the final paint. Good job on the woodwork, well done.
