    No one in the world has ever used paint stripper on pre-painted skirting, just sand and paint!

    If you give the wood work a better rub down and dust off with actual sandpaper properly better then using paint stripper (Also bad for the environment). That small brush painting will take you hours if you got loads to do. Was cringe from start to finish with that video. Sorry for being honest.

    I didn’t prime mine and now I notice any small knocks like moving Furniture about causes them to peel slightly, plz use a primer or be prepared to do touch ups. Unfortunately I threw my paint can out and lost my receipt no idea what paint it was.

    • @mryan4452
      @mryan4452 4 місяці тому +1

      Good advice, I bought a house recently and noticed bits of paint peeled away on skirting. I suspect they never used a primer. I also suspect they painted water based directly on to oil based paint as it's 'blotchy' in parts, so even more reason they should have used primer.

    And the carpet would be a write off (paint stripper! :(, paint) so best get rid of first, and thoroughly clean. (Fairy, sugar soap.)
    Sort out any lumps, holes, damage?
    Paint stripper top layer 😂 of two 😂
    (Stripper for major damaged paint on expensive / detailed wood work only! (and so much work) and use cheap / old brushes!) . Better to replace ordinary skirting with new if that bad.
    Use wider paint brush... Also i use oil based and do 'different' directions each coat, fine light sand in between, so perfectly smooth surface forms, no brush marks etc. etc.
