@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 I am not a fan of brilliant white ceilings in my house. I use the Wimborne white it’s softer less stark I find it’s more restful than full on BW. I did a full house in bone white, ceilings, walls, wood. I was surprised how good it looked.
Looks great finish Daniel, keep meaning give a whirl. l been using customer supplied Armstead qd eggshell 3 mostly (4 in places... ) coats over 1 johnstones aqua white on new preprimed mdf. Terrible coverage.
Considering using Zinsser (water based) exterior AllCoat in lieu of Blockade and Primer - as spec says this can go direct onto stained timber plus is primer/self-undercoating. Covers well and dries in 1 hour for additional application. Propose then to apply 2 x topcoats of same mixed in this Wimborne White (BS number?) - lovely colour. Spec says highly durable plus has Class 1 scrub rating. Thoughts?
Sounds good but I still like a solvent primer on stained wood. Not tried a waterbased product over stained wood. Be good to give it a go and see if it does block any bleeding or tanning. I use a product called Otex by Tikkurila which dries so quick and is spot on. Solvent based
@@danielnugent2168 I recently used Zinsser AllCoat to prime/undercoat direct onto degreased pine and top coated with another water based paint (WRX). It's absolutely solid. So much great information that you've posted. Have to ask, is AR2 no longer available? Liking the look of the Macpherson Durable Acrylic (as Tik alternative) for walls you recently reviewed - if touching in is okay?
@@andychapman3100 Hi. Yes AR2 is available direct online from Tikkurila or if you have a Kent Blaxhill Decorating Centre near by. My nearest is Milton Keynes. The ultimate durable matt is optiva 5 by Tikkurila Great scrub rating and dries nice and flat and doesn't picture frame around sockets etc like Dulux Diamond does
Hi Dan, I was thinking of doing this on my new fresh pinewood staircase and spindles: Zinsser BIN x 2 coats then 2 coats of Everal Akva semi-matt 40 - will this be ok? Don't want to spend extra on Otex Akva primer if not required... Also would you recommend Everal Akva 40 over Helmi 30? Many thanks
hi there, do you think using zinsser bin primer first over bare, then this top coat paint (2 coats) and thus miss the undercoat you used (armstrad) thanks in advance :)
@@danielnugent2168good evening,,, I ended up ordering Tikkurila Otex Solvent-Based Adhesion Primer instead of the zinsser, it seems to have good reviews,, looking forward to using them,, plus microfiber small roles with 5mm nap
Hi Daniel I've never used everal aqua 10 would you say it's better than little greene intelligent eggshell? I have a oak staircase to paint and customer wants it painting black ill be spraying with airless
@Daniel Nugent Painter and Decorator thanks for the reply mate much appreciated 👍 I've never used caparol either as its not stocked in any decorating centre near me! I'm liking the look of the everal aqua 10 though. Could I use bullseye 123+ as a primer undercoat?

Daniel, what is the best eggshell /satin by tikkarulia for brush application that you have found I have just used helmi 30 and to be honest, it doesn't flow any differently than any other water based woodwork paint. It still dries to quickly to level off Would thinning it down a bit help Any advice would be great
Hi mate. I use a cap full of Floetrol By Owatrol in with my paint as it gives it a longer working time and eliminates brush marks etc. It's like a conditioner. You can also get an empty spray bottle and fill with water and spray a fine mist onto the surface as I find that helps especially in warm temperatures. Also a good quality synthetic brush helps and on big areas use a microfiber roller sleeve and lay it off with the roller. Cheers Dan
Helmi is terrific but brush / roller application is not what suits it best. Sprayed is best for Helmi. Everal was introduced to UK to satisfy most of us as it’s better for traditional application .
I've used their gloss but found it started to craxk within a year so I've not used it since. I know the MSP and Barn Paint is fantastic and I've yet to try Zinsser All Coat externally. I heard that's good gear.
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 Try not to use any W/b gloss if I can help it but I would recommend the satin and eggshell. They also do a flat Matt but not got round to using it yet. Didn’t get on with the all coat myself but did put it on stained spindalls
I would try the caparol haftprimer as the undercoat after the blockade, it's amazing stuff
Yes I love Haftprimer. I've used it on external jobs
Wimborne white is a cracking colour. I use it on all my ceilings.
Lovely colour mate. I'm doing a job soon with ceiling walls and woodwork all in Wimborne White. Gonna get it mixed in Nova 2.

I'd say the Tikkurila is easy 2 topcoats. The beauty is you can get the Helmi or otex akva primers mixed to the same colour. That helps aswell

What do you think of sikkens satura satin finish.
Very good gear but hard to get hold of now. Also it's solvent based which I want to move away from

B.I.N is good as it will hold the knots from bleeding through. Yes go straight over the B.I.N as it can take waterbased paints
@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 Great stuff! WOuld you say go for Everal Aqua 40 for staircase? Thank you!
