    I use the same hand masker and spray all of my trim. The time it takes to mask is made up by the quality of the finished product. No brush strokes! A professional is not afraid to use products to up their game and create a quality job !

      @@JTP1967 you mean that you've used clear caulk to mask? I've installed and painted miles and miles of baseboard and I've never once done that. If I'm installing, I'll usually give them a coat of primer and a coat of base before cutting then roll out some masking paper down the walls and drop the baseboard right on top of it. I don't doubt that the clear silicone method works but I know silicone (especially clear) is a bi*** to remove if it's not a perfect, thick bead. Do you use your finger or a tool or do you just run a bead with your gun? Also, I (like I'm sure you do) will pull all the trim work if I'm also to paint the walls. Then I can use my masking paper under the baseboard method when it's time to reinstall

      @@dilldowschwagginz2674 I still use tape, but in order to prevent bleed through, especially on textured walls, I lay a small bead of clear caulking on the edge of the tape line. It fills all the voids and leaves a nice straight line. But just like you, I always pre-prime and even paint them before I install them. But there's always that inevitable instance where you have to paint them or touch them up in place for whatever reason.
      Nice thing about using the caulking trick, I can lay paper down and mask the top with tape, lay a small bead of clear, and use a detail air sprayer and touch up everything to a nice finish. With the clear you don't have to worry if the tape is sealed tight cuz it seals the edge for you, don't have to worry about contrasting colors, and it leaves a nice crisp line. You do have to pull the tape off right away otherwise it will be a b**** to get it off.

    I use paper for drywall to slide under the base where I'm able to after I put the paper masking down. Get it as close as possible. Then use drywall seam tape to make up the differance. I use clear caulk to get a sharp line on top of the baseboard. True wherever my crisp line will meet something other than white trim I use clear caulk. But if the trim is white I do a super thin thin bit of caulk on green frog tape. Creates laser sharp lines. Hope that helps.

The one I am using just now has quite a big fan space and when I try to do skirtings, I need to tape around 2-3 feet back to avoid overspray on the floor. I think I need a more concentrated tip - if that makes sense? Do you have any good videos.

    Can i ask your advice please. Im currently on a job where the customer requested i paint over her wallpaper. I have primed the wallpaper with zinsser wallpaper cover up which is great stuff. my question is i wanted to spray the skirting and dado rail before i top coat the walls but i was worried about saturation of overspray on the wallpaper? Would spraying be risky to the wallpaper as in would it cause it to bubble or lift because of the force from the airless sprayer? It would save me so much time if i could spray. Any advice much appreciated.

  • @dilldowschwagginz2674
    @dilldowschwagginz2674 Рік тому +1

    Ideally, you'll be working with a baseboard that is around 1/32"-1/16" off of the flooring. In that scenario, you'll just take your masking paper and tuck it under the baseboard then tack it down on the outside with some masking tape. Of course, that's not how it's going to go most of the time so he gives you some good pointers in this video. However, I personally would not use clear silicone caulk anywhere near highly visible areas of your project. You'll be able to easily pull up the thick bead but there will likely be thin spots on the baseboard where it will hold on and these areas will be obvious. Clear silicone can be a nightmare to remove

      @spencercolgan  5 років тому +2

      Micheal Swiggs
      It’s an excellent question.
      1. Over the course of the life of this new wallpaper, isn’t it true that you may in fact have to paint or desire to paint the trim again? For this reason, you could certainly choose either order.
      2. However, which order is more practical? And the answer to that is that you should paint your trim first making sure that the semigloss trim paint does not go beyond the trim because the wallpaper will not stick to semigloss paint - and so if you happen to get semigloss paint on the walls, make sure that you then prime over that to make the surface porous. Or, make sure that you scratch the semigloss paint on your walls with a sanding sponge or sandpaper - to make it porous.

    • @johnnytocino9313

      Are you painting over wallpaper? Is it possible in your budget to remove the wall paper. Always better idea. You will see the seams. Plus if not primed correctly it can bubble. If wallpaper was done by a pro it can be removed quite easily and with minimal damage to the wall.

    Interesting video. When I have skirting boards (trim) on a wooden floor where there are gaps between, I flip the paper around and feed it under the boards. Saves tacking down the paper again and you don't need to redo the edges.
    I also don't caulk the bottom of the trim because wooden floors generally have an element of vertical movement (depending on how they were put down, if there's any form of underlay etc), and as you say, it'll crack later on.
    Anywhere I can get tape under the trim, the mouldings of the architraves for example, then I'll do it. Normally with Clean Edge 2" tape.
    I'm not such a fan of the standard white masking tape on wooden floors, I had a couple of examples some years ago when it took the surface laquer off or left a residue. I find Tessa tape or Clean Edge work well.
    Great thing with our trade is that there's often more than 1 way of doing a job, it's just about finding works well for you and provides the finish the client is happy with.

    Spencer, I decided I hated my 3 inch baseboard and crown modeling in my house, so I had it all taken out. I ordered all new 5 inch baseboard since I have 12 foot ceilings I thought it would look nice. My problem is I want to have it painted before it goes up. I just got through painting 6 rooms in my house and I'm done with trim/prepping work. I started painting with a brush on one board in my garage and decided I didn't like the brush strokes it was leaving, so I went to the local paint store and talked with the salesman and he guided me to a roller. I went home and didn't like the way the roller left small bumps, so I had to sand it all off. I've since read that air brushing is the best way, so I have a guy coming to my house to do that. I have 30 16 foot boards and I'm scared that dirt/debris will get on my newly painted boards as he says he will lay them out on my driveway on top of plastic. My question is, how do I touch up the boards after they put them back on? If I use a brush you will see strokes or a roller will be bumpy. What should I do? Very Nervous. Terri

      1. Pull pot lights either completely out of ceiling if they remove, or pull down and wrap completely in brown paper...and stuff cavity of pot light with a wad of brown paper to protect socket. Wrap ceiling fans completely in plastic.

    That shit would never fly on one of my paint jobs. Firstly. Wear kneepads when preparing baseboard. Secondly. You're right, those gaps are unacceptable which is why you should thread tape in small increments first then just slap down the masking. (You're using an airless, dude.) You do not use caulking on millwork, either. Some backyard shit.

I just know how smooth walls are terrible for showing different textures like brush marks and didn’t know if the spray edged would show through after everything was painted. But I would imagine the roller nap will cover it up. Just never sprayed trim after it was installed, thought I would give it a try. Thanks for the tips.

    All these haters saying they only use a brush. It's all about time you have and how much linear feet you have. This base is already painted so brushing might be better. If it's bare wood. I swear spraying is way faster, especially if it's detailed wide trim with multiple sticks of wood to create a finished piece.

      john paul bacon I think I mostly learned to brush everything since the area I work in is mostly already brushed trim, there is no sense in spraying already brushed trim unless you sand it down. And I can’t sand this old trim it’s all lead paint under the trim. New stuff, spraying is the way to go for sure but people who “I always spray” are weird. I can use a flock nap and make amazing looking cabinets that you can only tell are rolled if you have a very detailed eye, and even then they look great. Use advance and it looks awesome

Each picket had so much detail from the lathe it was nuts. It was all 1970's purple, yes purple and going to be a light creme. I sprayed the whole thing in a long long day by myself. A pro crew of brush men would take a week on it. I saved that much on labor, it was beautiful in the end. The skirt boards and risers I brushed, and it took more time and killed my knees and back but spraying would not be the better option in that case. Just masking off one riser would take the time to brush three of them, so there you go. It all depends.

    That's a hack job. Never put white masking tape directly onto hardwood floors. Use Frog Tape or Blue tape at the very least. And I can still see floor behind the areas you taped down next to the baseboards. You have to tuck the tape under the door casings and keep it very tight against the baseboards too. The paint will make it's way onto the floor when it comes out of the gun @ 2000 psi. With such big gaps between the base and the floor you can just slip builder's paper under the base and tape it down 2' away from the base to the floor. Caulking the baseboard to the floor is not a good idea--the caulk will peel up with the paper when you go to remove it unless you score it with a utility knife and that's just more work. People make this job way more difficult than it needs to be. Use the best quality tape, stretch it as you go, bending it as needed to get it tucked under or right against the baseboard so NO wood is exposed. This makes the tape a little bit harder to remove later but you don't get ANY paint on the floor (assuming you use Frog Tape).
