I must admit I agree about the switch to water based paints. I miss the build you get from oil...but the benefits of water based outway that. It does take a while to get the right combination (123 is excellent!)..., But once you find it, you won't look back!
Just matt emulsion never had any issues, you can lightly wet & dry keeping dry as will key without scratching, sanding you can't beat by hand & good workout to boot
I never have any issues with cutting in twice then rolling out to finish. I often have to mist coat seal as mirka revealing high spots in the plaster. It's all in the preparation. I'll use any fresh paint except for old emulsion the client wants to use up that fills up with cornflakes when you take off the lid. Just dropped on an attix 33 on Facebook market place for a ridiculous £60. Was in the way they had a Dyson and didn't use it.
Thank you for being totally honest about plastering, (baby's bum comment) music to my ears, another tip for anyone other than the pro's, if you doubt this info get a straight edge 6 foot plus bang on straight , try it against the plaster (reality check)

@@davewright9312 I've done the same occasionally too...just going on what I've heard from other trades. Not necessarily mirka, it would be the same for any sander I guess.

mini rollers used to be called rad rollers and we only really used them to get the paint on quickly on doors before laying it off with the brush, but spraying has made them useless

Hi Phil, I Have to paint an artex ceiling that the previous owners painted with Dulux Vinyl SILK! Obviously it can't be sanded, so a coat of Zinsser 123 first? What is the normal finish for coving and ceilings?
Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but is there such a thing as non yellowing white gloss paint? I don't care if it's oil or water based as long as it doesn't yellow in a few months...
Morning. Have a look at the playlist I have on product testing... Loads of water based paints have been tried.. I think you'll find one that will interest you.
Hi could do with you advice please, I’ve painted contract Matt 3 to 1 on new plaster then mist coated a bathroom mold inhibitor paint over the contract Matt, it’s only a day old but with a piece of masking tape over it the top coat is coming off in the tape! Have left it long enough to bond or have I made a big mistake 😢
Phil, is the Tik presto filler a fine surface filler? I use the toupret pre mixed fine surface but only after a primary and maybe secondary easi fill. I find it shrinks like buggery otherwise.
Not quite a fine surface, it's not like RedDevil . Presto F, is a general surface filler. Deep stuff may sink a bit so a second fill may be needed. If I spot small imperfections on the wall I'd use a fine surface, then spot prime once it dry before touching in
@petra yes it will do if used as a conventional filler. It's best role is after 2 powdered filler coats. I have used it in the past with a hawk and trowel to flatten out old roller stipple and sand down where it was absolutely magnificent.
@petra for small stuff .. RedDevil fine surface... Or a cheaper god option.. Wickes own brand fine surface.. it too is light weight, doesn't weigh much.
I was just a bit worried as I seen a video saying you should never paint vinyl over contract mat as it may not bond properly, so I tried some green frog tape tonight and just tried it and it peeled off. I haven’t seen your video. Do you think I’ve left it long enough to bond?
bedec msp goes over oil without sanding phil obviously you would sand it 9/10 but if you on a budget or need to get done in a day it does work it adheres as well as oil eggshell scratch test on the side of the tin with a chisel and i could barley get it off

How would you rectify it? You’d need a fair few Laros discs- what grit? Could you give an all over sand and then just crack on with some Anti-Reflex 2?
Save yourself £992.80 and get down Wickes and pick up a pole sander Phillip! You say the plaster is the plaster at the start and that you’re not going to go over it with a magnifying glass then proceed to stick the Mirka on it 😂
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator A mirka rep told me at a trade show You only get 1 pair of lungs... best sales line ever. How can you argue with that...😂
Hopefully you are reading all the comments mirka uk. Had 3 sanders go wrong and your parts prices make them through away. Disappointing and won’t buy anything else from the company.
You still have lots of fiddly bits to sand after you use the mirka. Always gets rid of the same mistakes, roller pile texture and drag, drips under ceiling line where they haven't pulled the paint, brush marks around the switches and sockets. Had my Ceros for ten years amazing kit.
Those wall sanders are ridiculous prices for what they are. Great vid
time is money on the time they save you using it.. plus, less dust

Great point!
Doing a nice job there, hope the new tenants will look after it
I hope the increase in rent will sort the bad ones out.
I like to over exaggerate my cutting in with the mini roller saves bumping ceilings or touching trim with sleeve

Great stuff .lots of information as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
Any tips for applying silk emulsion? Stuff has more patches than I don't know what!
Yeah... Don't use it lol
Use a durable Matt.
Or a finish with only 7% sheen level.
With your silk.
Give it another coat using a medium pipe roller

Great video!! I've been looking at that mirka sander? Is there any way you can attach the house to a Henry hoover for example?..
Maybe, but the auto turn off on the vac is handy when you stop sanding
You can attach them to a Henry..

Hi Phil. What about matt over vinyl Silk on blown vinyl wallpaper??
Like we've done for years and years... Just coat it up
Phil how come you haven't taken the wall colour right up to the ceiling edge?
Have you watched the following video yet?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator I have now 👍 good man, looks much better now

The new age post COVID Painters wouldn't understand where or what you used a rad roller for... The real use for them.
the secrets in the name lol
Why are you using 123 on the skirting boards first? Would not for example, just 2 coats Bedec Aqua Advance be ok on any previous wood paint finish?

It's how we've done it for years.
Thanks Phil. I asked because I thought painting matt over silk leads to cracking and crazing. Is that not the case?

There's lot cheaper wall Sanders than that mirka, can't justify 1k plus for any sander😮

Beckers, hypothetically, what would you do if you’re next tenants painted the whole flat (walls and ceilings) in dark red 2-part epoxy floor paint?
Deposit scheme would be contacted and I'd be requesting the money back to me
How would you rectify it? You’d need a fair few Laros discs- what grit? Could you give an all over sand and then just crack on with some Anti-Reflex 2?
I no what I'd do! I'd shove the 2 part epoxy up there arse and send em out the door!
give it a sand and a get a good key on it.. then line it, making sure you use good tube paste lol
I agree mirka is overpriced and hyped but it's well worth it to achieve that finish especially on the wood work and no dust makes sense to invest.
Never heard sanding silk to put Matt on 🤔
Only a light going over. Reduces the risk of crazing when the Matt drys out
