Great video, as usual. I appreciate what you say about not contaminating the paint left in your can with bits your brush picks up from the wall, but how do you clean your scuttle/bucket when you are done so that the next time you don't contaminate your brush with bits left in the scuttle? Thanks!
Everybody has got a different method , Id like to try and get the dust up with a vacuum first and I don't think I would like working with gloss in that bucket . Anyway as long as you get the job done. We never use to cut brushes , use in emulsion , then undercoat , then gloss. Stir it or not , do what it says on tin. Oh and if the paint in the kettle gets shit in it , you can always strain it through some tights before it goes back in the stock .
After 20 years of painting I found sash brushes instantly ready to use for cutting in skirtings windows and even walls and don't need to be shaped . Update yourself move on to synthetic brushes.
Surface prep is key First sand the surface lightly removing any uneven bumps lumps and to create a key for new paint to stick grab onto surface of skirting You can hoover any sanded particles up but if use a damp cloth to clean the surfaces well allow to dry fully And then carefully apply a cost of gloss if another coat of gloss is required then allow sufficient drying time between coats read the application instructions on tin of paint for drying time 1-2 coats of good quality gloss job done If it’s bare wood Surface prep as usual plus very light sand then clean Wood primer 1-2 coats Undercoat 1-2 coats Gloss 1-2 coats
Ed was bang on. U would not dust floor after u had started glossing and take care not to let paintbrush touch floor as that would spread dust all over . not rocket science.
Thanks, I am trying to paint but the white paint I bought is turning yellow any suggestions which one to buy, I want it to as white as the one you are using, I bought homebase brand pure brilliant white. Any suggestions will be appreciated thanks.
I need help, my house interior flat surfaced doors already had 10 year old yellowish coloured (not sure if this was the original colour or it turned this colour due to dirt etc) gloss paint before I painted over them recently using high gloss paint without any prepping, the yellowish old gloss is bleeding through and you can see brush marks from the new high gloss layer, what's the best way to fix this issue so when I use high gloss, I get a smooth clean finish?
Instead of laying off on the boards afterwards could I go over with a clean slightly damp sponge roller to get a smooth finish.? Done this with quick dry satin before and it worked but not sure with gloss
Zero point. You’d have two textures on the skirting, brush marks at the top and a slight orange peel on the face of it. You should be able to get a smooth finish using a brush, just don’t apply too much and brush it out as far as you can
Ok Nice fella…but you could use a peace of corex and rolling on the skirt (cutting the top edge of the skirt with a brush for sure)as we both know that doing with a brush will leave plenty of patches …cheers
Because it's a new build, various things need to happen before it can be sold and many trades in and out before it is complete, flooring would get ruined by the time the build is complete so flooring goes on last as a result
Lol that's when you stare at the lammy bloke like he's got two heads when he enters your plot to whip in the lino in the bathroom and he looks back exactly the same when you ask him can he do it tomorrow 🤣🤣🤣
David Boulton Painting and decorating is something that people do as a ‘career’ when they’ve failed all of their GCSEs and aren’t good at anything at all. And to top it off, you go on about ‘house bashing’ which essentially means you can’t even paint properly, and do a sloppy job, yet you’re calling other people muppets? Fucking idiot who can’t even paint in a straight line then has to hide the fact he’s shit by giving it a name 😂
Normally I remove the masking tape from the skirting straight away or before the gloss has time to dry on the masking tape, If you leave it till the next day taking the tape off will give you a problem
I have lino flooring in my bathroom and hallway and getting masking tape right up to the edge of the skirting is a bit awkward in no matter how hard you try there always seems to be a gap. Any suggestions
I tend to wait till the gloss is completely dry before removing the masking tape or muck will most likely spring up on the skirting from the sticky side and your hands can get covered as you need a finger to grab a corner of tape to pull it off, hence no gloves. If the tape is troublesome to remove use a Stanley knife to break the edge of gloss. Most of the tape should come off freely, only on occasion you will reach for the knife.
sorry mate you have just made a school boy error stir your paint every time i am not judging you mate but if you are going to help peeps tell them right
DIYers please dont do this, particularly the 'simulating masking off a carpet' bit....yes it will protect the carpet but only to a point and if you deliberately hit the tape that heavily with the gloss it will likely bleed through in places. A couple of times in the video you advise not to put the unused gloss back into the tin, which is good advice, however you then demonstrate how it's ok to hit the new bare concrete floor (adding that we "will pick up bits") and seem quite happy to spread that shit up and down the skirting, baffling. My favourite bit of your How 'not' To video has to be the dusting fail..."Before you start just dust off" etc etc, "I've done it already", then you demonstrate and, oh look, a shitload more crap, pmfsl absolutely priceless. I could go on, and on.
OK Mr Senpai , therefore due to your neat eyes - Candleman does new site price work , its not a fucking private . It got to be presentable , not perfect , we meant to make money , not fuck around with masking tape etc. a lot of builders simply damage your work soon after you finish or in most of the cases - while you produce unit , so shut the fuck up as after the man do the job most of the units goes through 1st stage snagging from the employer , then from the builder and then from the fucking client . We mean to produce unit which is then - easy to re-dec if necessary .
Czarek Kowalski They just sound like wank excuses for being a shit cowboy painter. Every trade out there is to make money, house bashers aren’t the only ones who want to make money. You think an electrician in a new build can bodge it quickly and do a shit job cos ‘time is money bla bla bla’, in the same way no ones wants badly painted skirting and doorframes with shit in the paint just cos you cowboy painters ‘want to make money and fuck off quick’. Bunch of titheads I swear.

Great video and very good painter but get your paint-loaded brush right out of the way when you're cleaning the dust off the masking tape at 5:40.
Great video, as usual. I appreciate what you say about not contaminating the paint left in your can with bits your brush picks up from the wall, but how do you clean your scuttle/bucket when you are done so that the next time you don't contaminate your brush with bits left in the scuttle? Thanks!
Put a plastic big in the scuttle first when ur done just throw the bag
Brush the contaminated gloss into a shit tin and throw in skip

Blatantly on day work :-)
After 20 years of painting I found sash brushes instantly ready to use for cutting in skirtings windows and even walls and don't need to be shaped . Update yourself move on to synthetic brushes.
Sash brushes are fantastic for that initial cutting in. A full length of skirting can be done in about two minutes.
Game changers sash brushes, like pencils, I use use a smash brush for top skirts sides arch, hinge legs on arcs etc and 2 inch for faces
Against popular opinion I like to paint the skirting first and cut in from the wall
Good video and a smooth finish on the boards by the techique used. Is there a particular type of brush I need to achieve this effect? Thanks.
Give me the confidence to crack on and gloss my skirting board
Solid..no nonsense tutorial.
Very neat Candleman
Surface prep is key
First sand the surface lightly removing any uneven bumps lumps and to create a key for new paint to stick grab onto surface of skirting
You can hoover any sanded particles up but if use a damp cloth to clean the surfaces well allow to dry fully
And then carefully apply a cost of gloss if another coat of gloss is required then allow sufficient drying time between coats read the application instructions on tin of paint for drying time
1-2 coats of good quality gloss job done
If it’s bare wood
Surface prep as usual plus very light sand then clean
Wood primer 1-2 coats
Undercoat 1-2 coats
Gloss 1-2 coats
1 coat of each
Ed was bang on. U would not dust floor after u had started glossing and take care not to let paintbrush touch floor as that would spread dust all over . not rocket science.
Hi buddy,,what’s best for best look looking skirting boards white gloss or something like a eggshell
what do you do with any excess gloss left in the kettle ?
Drink it
Try not pouring then paint all over the COSHH and manufacturer instructions on the tin would be a ideal tip for new and upcoming painters
Thanks, I am trying to paint but the white paint I bought is turning yellow any suggestions which one to buy, I want it to as white as the one you are using, I bought homebase brand pure brilliant white. Any suggestions will be appreciated thanks.
All people saying to stir paint before pouring ... Dulux paint says do not stir or shake prior to use, perhaps you should read the tins!!??
If it has the oil has appeared on top you have to stir it, don't forget that mate.
Craigs Garden Maintenance perhaps you should read ALL the tins,,, you probably painted your grans font room and now you think your a painter,,!🐖👈🏾
Keep on painting with the porridge then .
Good paint's lasting longer
Somehow I'm getting all my painting tips from England now
Looks great!
Hi, when is the best time to take up the masking tape please? Thanks, great video, Karl 😀

That cutting in... :D
Ya fighter
hi bud, just a quick question, did you caulk or do you caulk before glossing and painting?
Instead of laying off on the boards afterwards could I go over with a clean slightly damp sponge roller to get a smooth finish.?
Done this with quick dry satin before and it worked but not sure with gloss
Zero point. You’d have two textures on the skirting, brush marks at the top and a slight orange peel on the face of it. You should be able to get a smooth finish using a brush, just don’t apply too much and brush it out as far as you can
Wish I had watched this before I messed up my skirting boards!! 😭
What sanding do you do In the new plots mate? Do you rubdown before and after undercoating?
I've found you only need to clean off woodwork (mdf) before any paint applied, then just a dust off between coats.
Why don't u put masking tape on wall above skirten then u won't need to worry about cutting in
james that would take for ever its easyer to cut in with a proper brush
I am a painter every good
Ok Nice fella…but you could use a peace of corex and rolling on the skirt (cutting the top edge of the skirt with a brush for sure)as we both know that doing with a brush will leave plenty of patches …cheers
It is very important that you stir the gloss first surely?
On tins of gloss it says to not stir
CrisyFallows That'll be non drip gloss
Why skirtings on before possible laminate installation? Grr
Because it's a new build, various things need to happen before it can be sold and many trades in and out before it is complete, flooring would get ruined by the time the build is complete so flooring goes on last as a result

Where's your duster brush
How long after glossing the skirting board do you remove the masking tape
Normally I remove the masking tape from the skirting straight away or before the gloss has time to dry on the masking tape,
If you leave it till the next day taking the tape off will give you a problem
I have lino flooring in my bathroom and hallway and getting masking tape right up to the edge of the skirting is a bit awkward in no matter how hard you try there always seems to be a gap. Any suggestions
+michael lineker if you can't put the masking tape down in one long line do It in smaller pieces that's the only way
wallingtonfilming The Candle man Bonjour je voudrais savoir avec quel type de brosse vous préférez peindre les boiseries merci

⚠ Painting skirting boards will knacker your bloody knees.

I get rid of 100% that way
