Great video as always sir, just to confirm our product cab be tinted in any manufactures colours in all of our products through our CS2 machines which are in a lot of merchants now and it will only get better the more merchants ask for it, if they don’t have it it can be ordered via our head office who also have the machines.. Keep up the great work Phil..
Used it on wet room ceiling, gone back 18 months later to do another job & bathroom ceiling is absolutely solid & looks like I'd just done it. Good gear.
Use absolutely tons of Permawhite, probably one of my most used paint products on interior work -- both matt and satin -- along with CoverStain, Tikkurila Anti-Reflex, Johnstones Aqua Satin, and Benjamin Moore Advance Satin.
Just used Permawhite on a single brick wall which forms the side of a conservatory, outside basically with loads of moisture but also slightly inside so cold bridging causing mildew was the issue. I mixed Permawhite with Thermalmix insulating additive and think that's the answer. I've used Thermalmix before, it creates a slightly gritty surface but it does work the wall feels warm. Just tried BIN aqua today for the first time on pitch pine, two coats, job done, never going back to stinky BIN. Zinsser are great.
Great informative video Phil. I use PermaWhite satin for the woodwork in bathrooms. Just finished a large double sash window with deep wooden reveals, goes on lovely with brush or TFBs roller and gives a lovely 40% satin finish👍
It's a great product. I've used it in clients bathrooms and utility rooms for many years. Never had a call back due to mould growth. Worth every penny. Very tough finish once cured too.
Always used the old painters trick of oil based undercoat on water stains & mould never failed me in 38yrs, know things have changed since my day as water based products & quick drying are around now so no waiting around to dry but as I'm at most jobs for days i do it first thing & the unders is already there so saves buying something else as Zinsser is expensive too👍
I think you're the only one that knows still uses oil based paints. ;) Materials are allowed for in the quote. Water stains... PolyCell Stain Block is always handy to have on the van... Doesn't stop Knott stains though
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator i remember my foreman/mentor putting undercoat on a bathroom wall where they had a leak & i was confused why, then he explained , the rest is history, tbh i never use unders internally, i found Leyland primer/under acrylic works on top of old gloss etc followed by 2 top coats of there hardwearing Eggshell, oils externally apart from front door for obvious reasons 😉 knot stains, my early learning days were spent knotting & priming full length timbers on band stands in rows of 6 then stacking & onto next lot, must of got through around 500 lengths skirting board etc in a day but good practice in learning how to use a 3 to 4× brush 🤣
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator was impressed with the acrylic zinsser all coat though on external , the flow was as smooth as a baby's arse, lovely to use 👍
Helpful video, thanks! You said that you used this on a bathroom ceiling as well - would you use the matt version for that or go for the satin version?
Hi Phil. Im about to paint my sash windows which often get moulding. They had been psinted with a waterbased paint six years ago but im unsure what brand. would u recommend i use this Zisser mould paint on my window sashes do i need undercoat ? Any recommendation? Thanks
No. Look at this more and an emulsion for walls and ceilings. Your woodwork won't get mould on them like walls do You'll be ok using a decent waterbase satin paint.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator ok so satin for my window sashs thanks .any recommends on paint best ? Are self priming paints any good? Or should I use Un & Tcoat paints separately?
i've never used a self prime as yet. i want to make sure I find a paint which will stay white and longest lasting for sash windows which I can also use to also paint my wooden doors. i have no idea brands. I have spent days and hours reading comments trying to find the best paint. I dnt care about the cost. as long as it does the best job @@ProfessionalPainterDecorator
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator if I had the time and money I'd buy all the best known paint brand for multisurfaces & wood . Self priming ect...test them all on different pieces of wood like you do. Durability. Anti yellowing. Adhesion. Id leave the painted wood outside. Then Do a follow up video after a year then 4 or 5 years to see which paint Brand lasted the longest looks the fresh. As I mentioned. I dnt mind the prices. Like the saying. Buy cheap buy twice. I want to find the best anti yellowing and most Durability wb paint satin or sheen or like gloss or flat whatever best for internal wooden frame windows ?
Used this paint for the first time and it does what it says on the tin. A great finished product, however, I found that the opacity is still shocking with the Matt. At least three or four coats needed. It’s like water.
I bought the satin version.....you say it took 3 coats....would i be able to apply a matt version, over the 1st coat of satin......I've only just started the job....and feel I need another tin to get the job done. Cheers muchly 👍
Just use this as the paint, no need for anything else . Or just the Dulux Endurance (is that a retailer paint?). You don't use Undercoat on walls .. when emulsioning them. Two coats should be enough unless a vast colour change.
The last time I used that i though it looks like vinyl silk on the bathroom shower room ceiling... I wasn't blown away with the finish.... Unless you want that.
Yep, same here, we have reoccurring problem with a little bit of mould on our bedroom ceiling, I used Luja and its done the business, t4 yearsvon, no mould, but it has an eggshell/satin finish, which over stippled artex looks awful, I'll use something else next time I decorate the room.@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator
@@ProfessionalPainterDecoratormy room suffers with mould and I wanted to use this paint to protect it from further mould growing during the winter, and I just wanted to use this paint for under layer then wallpaper over it as I want some sort of colour to the room. Do you think that’s possible or will it be better if I can paint over it to a different colour ?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Seriously mate? They're paint. It's not like you've never used Dulux or Johnstones. Zinsser is a brand with a number of quality products in their line-up, but depending on what you need so do Dulux and Johnstone's produce good paint. You make it sound like "tradesmen" only use some secret source of paint or special techniques and would never dream on buying something from one of the big sheds.
@@gaurasrspublishing yeah, seriously. They do a rang for retail shops and it's not a paint I've used so can't say what it's like. Other than I know retail paint is geared up to be easier to apply straight out the can, with no thinning required, which makes it easier for the amateur to apply and get a result. Trade paint is different.. allowing thinning when needed for different substrates. So if you need an answer, I'll say this paint is better than what a retail main branded paint will be. If you want even better, look at Glixtone fungi-sheild paint.. I've done videos on it in the past and one coming up in a few weeks too

Hi, can I use this as an undercoat on a previously painted wall? And then use Dulux endurance over it?
Thanks in advance
Just use this as the paint, no need for anything else .
Or just the Dulux Endurance (is that a retailer paint?).
You don't use Undercoat on walls .. when emulsioning them.
Two coats should be enough unless a vast colour change.
So ive got freshly plastered walls.. all cured for weeks now.. should i mist coat in a dulux matt white first .. then apply the perma white?
You can thin that down as a wash coat.
If you read the back of PermaWhite for bare plaster, it says to use Zinsser 123
Thin the Matt down as a wash coat you mean?
@@richcollector85 yep.
What does the back of the Zinsser PermaWhite say?
Most decent vinyl matt (Crown/Leyland) with mould treatment added in will work, and be cheaper too.
How about adding colour layer (with different paint) on top of the zinssser perma white one? Would this work or it is not advisable to do so?
That defeats the object of using the PermaWhite.
You'd be better having the PermaWhite mixed
How does this compare to Tikkurila Luja7 ?
The last time I used that i though it looks like vinyl silk on the bathroom shower room ceiling... I wasn't blown away with the finish.... Unless you want that.
