    I always wonder about the adhesion primer with scuff-x, I always use one just to be safe, does it always need one? Say going over previous oil satin? Gloss I would.

      So far I've not found a need for it (yet), witha good sand down it's been fine... I've been using it on and off since earlier this year...
      on new wood surfaces I would though.

    Hi Phil, I've also been using Scuff X on jobs this year, however the spec sheets say its for walls (basically a durable emulsion), just a slight concern, so should we be using BM Advance on woodwork and rads instead?

    • @ProfessionalPainterDecorator
      @ProfessionalPainterDecorator  9 місяців тому +1

      In the USA... They use it as Emulsion. Over here... They sell it to us as woodwork paint lol

    Hi Phil
    Great Vid as always and a new subscriber here. Thanks for the tips as im about to start painting window sills, skirting boards and doors.
    In the case of these im looking to use Johnstone's Aquagaurd and Johnstone's Aqua waterbased Undercoat due to the non yellowing properties that an oil based saintin gloss would produce,
    as well as ease of application.
    My Main questions:
    1) Can the 'Aquaguard' use the' Johnstones Johncryl undeecoat Primer' be used under the 'Aqua Guard' with just as good results, just thinking that could be a better multi purpose undercoat / primer?
    2) I have doors that are made of MDF / Engineered wood (i think) that have been WHITE in colour that were installed and are lightweight compared to solid wood doors.
    - They look like 'DORIS The DOOR' in design but with fake wood effect.
    - It almost seems to be plasticy sort of finish (sheen) on the door facias (Part of a newish build property).
    - MY MAIN QUESTION: Can the 'Aquaguard' and 'Aqua Waterbased undercoat' be used of this type of door? It mentions NOT TO PAINT on MDF..(but gather this is bare unpainted MDF doors)?

    Phil, I'd love to see what you think of the Prodec Ice Fusion rollers.
    I've had fantastic results with them so far. Ive repainted my kitchen units, internal doors, windowsills etc with them and they leave such a lovely smooth finish. Dare I say the smoothest I've seen bar spraying?
    Still, would be nice to have a pro opinion.

    Hello Phil, not sure how the affliate links work (don't trust them), but I went to that seller of the Mirka Goldflex to get myself some 150 grit pads, started using them and thought they seemed a bit coarse - they sent me 120 grit instead! I've notified the seller on Amazon and ordered some 180 grit as well, as I will use the 120's anyway. So far, impressive pads though, seem to hold their grit much longer than the standard foam ones

    • @ProfessionalPainterDecorator
      @ProfessionalPainterDecorator  9 місяців тому +1

      The Links just send you to the product I'll have mentioned etc
      The link will be allocated to my 'account' so Amazon knows the sale was through my link.... I think that's how it works in simple terms.
      I have 150 and 180 on the go.
      As the 150 and 180 wear down they go for finer nibbing down.
      I didn't know they did the golf flex in 120.. that's handy to have for general sanding on skirting and doors where you need some flex to the pad.
      Yes. They don't seem to clogg as much.. unless the paint is still a bit soft.... Water based gloss I've noticed deposits left on the pad.

      @ProfessionalPainterDecorator  9 місяців тому +1

      no primer needed, Primers are for bare surfaces.
      This is a painted surface, with ScuffX, you can give a sand daown and two coats of teh scuffX, if you have problem surfaces or building up from new wood/bare surfaces, BM do two primer/Uc paints you can use with ScuffX, called... Fresh Start and STIX

  • @alanbuckingham8788

    What I'm unclear about is when you'd choose to spray and when you'd choose to brush it. Surely if spraying gives a superior finish, then why not spray it?

    • @ProfessionalPainterDecorator
      @ProfessionalPainterDecorator  9 місяців тому +2

      assess the room situation, If it's a clear room and not being uses, spraying woodwork is easier to do... or an empty house!
      This house was being used all the time and not big rooms, I was going through a room in 2-3 days.
      Ceilings.. no reason you can't spray them on every job, you still sheet the floor up for rolling it!
      have a look back at some of my spray vids.. a number are in houses with carpet down and customers still living there.

    Thank you for an extremely clear, specific and thorough lesson. One question I have: if the cill has lots of brush marks from when it was last painted, and I do a lot of sanding to try to remove them, should I use a primer before the Scuff-X? There will still be lots of the previous paint left on the cill after I sand.

    • @ProfessionalPainterDecorator
      @ProfessionalPainterDecorator  6 місяців тому +2

      No need, unless you want a build up. You've given it a good sand and that's the key for paint to help grip to it.
      If it was bare you can use teh BM primers and then go with ScuffX.
      Get a electric sander on them if they are really bad. Like the one I show in my other videos.. the batter DeWalt.

    In regards to what 😂 if the walls where going a dark colour, if you painted the underneath of sill in the dark colour it would look terrible. You’re only getting away with smashing it in emulsion as it’s a pastel light shade. Personally I do it the correct way and paint the underside in the wood paint always. If it makes it easier do the underside first then cut a nice neat line to it.

      they're all the things DIYers 'gloss' paint thinking, that's what they need to be painting, like tops and bottoms of doors when you remove them to paint a room. lol
      The only tops of door frames that get painted with a finish coat are the ones you see when you come down stairs, ie: the ones you can see.
      As long as it's had a coat of something (emulsion) it's got protection.

      Obviously a controversial point when it triggers someone to comment five times on one video 😂 that said, I must admit I was annoyed to notice recently that a room we had professionally painted a few years ago didn’t have the underside of the board painted. Yes it took a few years to notice but once I did it briefly made me think this guy doesn’t have an eye for detail. Had I painted it myself I would have done it as I’m the kind of person who also hates the crap left under baths and kitchen kick boards.
