Great video mate. I’m just about to cover a load of vinyl silk with Matt and knew it needed some sort of extra work but was unsure what I had to do. Perfect timing - many thanks
Thank you for this tip! I just bought a new flat, I started decorating a room that was painted a light grey. After 3 coats of paint it still wasn’t covered. Very patchy, huge uneven lines down the wall. When I try to blend the paint in the paint was being pulled off by the roller. Despite the fact it was applied less than a minute before. I’ve just realised that it’s a Farrow & Ball emulsion which is washable. Tomorrow I’ll try out your Zinsser tip. 👍🏻
You can use zinsser gardz instead of the 123 as it's a bit cheaper. Not as easy to apply though, as it's watery . You can also paint a coat of soft sheen paint, as an intermediary between silk and matt, no need to sand. Apparently, I've read that sanding is not recommended as disturbing the surface may cause problems.
Hi Aubrey another great tip. Don’t know about you but I can’t stand vinyl silk emulsion paint. I came across a customer who had applied it straight over a newly plastered wall then wondered why he could just scrape it off with his fingernail! Well I ended up scraping the lot off and doing the process correctly. Ok you either know or you don’t but I talked him out of the vinyl silk finish and seeing it was a kitchen wall I suggested durable Matt. He always has this now when I do work for him! Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻
Yes I have come across similar situations many times. I am also not a big fan of vinyl silk. It does show up all the imperfections in the surface and does not look right on ceilings. Hope all is going well with the decorating for you Derek 😊
I tried sanding the silk before applying Matt and the paint still cracked. Then I had the problem of applying Zinsser over cracked paint after another sanding. Finally I had to go over cracked areas with filler. If only I could have removed the Matt layer.
@@AubreysAbsoluteDecorating Cheers Aub, currently sanding the silk paint with the 120 and little pole device you recommended. The silk paint feels like a beast, the 120 barely touching it 🤣 gonna be a long day I feel haha.
I've just done the hall and landing twice with Dulux silk and it looks bloody awful over the recently skimmed walls. I'm gutted enough I'm going to have to repaint it with matt emulsion, but I'll definitely use that Zinsser stuff instead of sanding.
A bit late, but always good to know: When it's fresh plaster/skimmed walls, you should always give a thinned down coat of matt emulsion, on a ration of around 70/30 or even 60/40 (will be more runny). Keep in mind when applying, the paint will be a lot thinner so it will run very easily. One coat is enough,even if it looks very thin. This is done to "seal" the fresh plaster and stop it from absorbing the moisture from the paint rather than trying to coat it entirely with an opaque finish. Once it's done, you're good to paint with silk. You may get away with painting matt over a skimmed wall, although not ideal, but never do silk on a fresh coat of plaster or skimmed wall. Hope that helps
Another great video, Aubrey, thanks! Question: how would I know if silk emulsion has been used on a wall? I mean is it really obvious? I'm not sure I'm experienced enough to recognise it and could end up painting with the wrong paint, or alternatively, unnecessarily doing the extra process you describe.
Vinyl silk does look quite shinny and reflects light. It will also show up any imperfections in the surface. It does look a lot different than a matt finish which is usually applied to wall and ceiling surfaces.
Aubrey....I've got one for you!!#@ How about a demonstration of Marballing? Always found this fascinating when demonstrated at Holly Bank if you remember mate.
Good advice but when you do it as a professional if I had to go down all these steps to make the walls crisp , I’ll have to add more days to the job which customers don’t want unfortunately.
Are you saying that the side that wasn't treated with Zinsser was just as good as the side that was? If that's the case, there is no need to use Zinsser.
I painted Matt emulsion over silk, with realising the problems. It didn’t crack, but every time I wipe the wall, it wipes off some of the matt, showing the original colour underneath. It would be too difficult to wipe it all off, so what is my best way to correct this?
Sorry to hear about this Amanda. I don't think there is a quick fix for this. However, you could try applying a coat of Zinsser Peel Stop to seal the surface and then apply your colour of matt emulsion over this. You could try a small test area first but hopefully this should help.
Hi Aubrey. I have another question. I've just bought a new white-primed door from B&Q. The primer is certain to be water-based. Can I use solvent-based paint (inc more primer) straight on top of the door manufacturer's water-based primer? Thanks
Very helpful, thanks. Why a medium pile roller for the Bullseye 123 though? Would a short pile be ok? I would want to try and avoid added texture if possible.
I painted 1 of 4 walls in silk paint and did not like she shine showed all the imperfections so Ived filled and sanded wall with P60 sandpaper would that still be okay? And just quickly wiped the dust off the wall. I’m painting it in Matt tomorrow
Where are bathroom was decorated we've got cracks in it from that type of thing you've mentioned what can we do to sort out the cracks because it looks like the pores on your skin ? Thank you Aubrey
Apply a coat of Zinsser Peel Stop over the affected area before re-painting. If the cracks are prominent then skim over with some Polyfilla using a plastic caulking tool and sand down smooth. Hope all goes well for you Doctor.
Great vid Aubrey, aubrey quick quedtion what would you use for priming filler over a silk wall, prior to silk top coats, colour blue, I was thinking gardz, thanks
That rubber on your mask must have been painful. How would you prep a previously painted wall that has plaster underneath. It has a couple of previous paits that has been applied before.
Hi, doing small repairs to vinyl silk is difficult as the applied paint does leave a defined edge. You could try filling the areas where required, abrade the area with a 120 grade abrasive before applying some Zinsser Bullseye 123 to the area and then apply one or two thinned down coats of the vinyl silk. Have the paint quite runny so that it leaves less of a thick edge when dry.
I might have to try the Zinsser Bulls Eye 123. Been having a nightmare painting a wall with matt emulsion, it just keeps bubbling. I sanded it down and tried Zinsser Peel Stop, but it still bubbled when painted over that. No idea why it's not adhering to the wall.
Update, I tried the Bulls Eye 123 and it bubbled. Now I've scraped off the bubbles, painted with Peel Stop, filling the holes and sanding, and then trying the Bulls Eye 123 again. I hate this wall. 😭
Hey Aubery, I've always use satin paint, but recently just moved and the walls are all painted in silk and I've painted over with matt paint the other day but now seeing small cracks (can only see up close), am I able to just buy that 123 paint and go over with it to stop any more cracks from Apparening and also will it stop the cracks from showing.
Hi, I would suggest applying a coat of Zinsser Peel Stop before re-painting. If the cracks are barely visible 2 coats of emulsion after the Peel Stop may cover them. Hope all goes well for you Lisa 😊
Hi, I've got the same issue. I ended up sanding, peel and stop, primer, and then my colour of choice however it was looking dark around the edges. I put a humidifier in the room and that helped the edges however cracks have now appeared again for a second time as humidity level was around 40. Do I need to do the same process again, sand, peel stop, undercoat and paint?
Hi Aubrey, I wanted to ask a question (unrelated to this video). I'm based in the UK and I bought a used glass console table in brilliant condition. The stand of the table is metal and has a very smooth and shiny gloss finish (in a grey colour) - with only 1 or 2 small scratches. I want to spray paint the stand a gold colour. I was ONLY going to lightly sand the scratches, wipe it down with "methylated spirit" and then use the "Zinser 123 Bullseye Primer- Sealer", then spray paint it gold using the"Rust-Oleum" brand. Do you think this would work? Alternatively, if this is wishful thinking, can I use a cheap liquid sander (HG liquid sander), then the 'Zinser Bullseye" and finally the gold spray paint? Your advice would be most helpful. Thanks in advance!
If the paint on the table stand is solid and in good condition you should just need give it a light rub down with a very fine abrasive (240 grade) before applying the spray paint. Alternatively use the liquid sander. No need to use the Bullseye for this project as these spray paints should adhere very well to the existing paint on the metal surface. Hope all goes well for you 😊
My silk peeled off the newly plastered wall completely even though we had done 2 coats of watered down emulsion to prime and seal the wall. Will the Zinser stuff adhere or peel of with the silk? I don’t think I can avoid sanding 🤔
Sorry to hear about the peeling paint Angela. Is it possible to scrape the peeling paint back to a firm edge? If so, apply a coat of thinned down PVA glue (6 parts water, 1 part glue) along the edges where it was peeling.this should prevent the edges lifting when you apply more paint. Did you use thinned matt emulsion to prime the walls?
@@AubreysAbsoluteDecorating Today I started peeling it off by hand. I wish I could show you the video. It's like peeling off one of those face masks. The whole paint comes off in large pieces. We used white matt paint and water as an undercoat yes.
That sounds pretty bad and also quite unusual. Was the plastered wall fully dried out before painting? It is a good idea to first paint a newly palstered wall with contract matt emulsion as this allows the wall to fully dry out as the paint is permeable. I do hope things go better for you Angela with the re-dec.
I am about to paint over my old kitchen paint but we have put a few test colour patches on the walls which are fairly strong colours. I don't want the test colours to show through the new paint, the old paint was kitchen grade, not sure what to expect painting over it. Having bought expensive eggshell paint, would it be best to use this Zinsser to prime the walls before repainting?
As long as the existing wall paint is sound and in good condition you can apply the acrylic eggshell over it. You could touch over the darker patches with a light coloured matt emulsion before applying the eggshell. If you do any filling, touch over it with a matt emulsion before applying the eggshell to avoid sinking. Or, as you say, you could first apply one or two coats of the Zinsser for peace of mind. Hope all goes well with the decorating 😊
May I ask a question. I want to paint a ceiling with matt emulsion that was previously painted with vinyl matt emulsion. Should I give it a coat of Zinsser 123, or is it safe to paint straight over the existing emulsion?
Hi Aubrey. Thanks for the replies. I've just found out that the previous owner always used Dulux Vinyl Silk (not matt), so it seems I'll have to Zinsser the ceiling/coving first. I have a few tins of Dulux Eggshell (water-based) left from a previous room. Is eggshell OK for ceilings and coving (after the Zinsser)? Thanks
Water based eggshell is often used for painting woodwork, kitchen units and walls where a tough and durable finish is required. You could use it on the surfaces you mention, however it is not normally applied to ceilings.
I hope it is not too bad. If the paint is showing signs of cracking and crazing you could try applying one or two coats of Zinsser Peel Stop over the effected area before re-painting.
Hiya, what if the the silk paint is peeling? Would the zinsser still work over it? Or would sanding be best? Or do we have to just peel all the silk paint off? Thanks
The quality and clarity of your video’s are always of the highest standard. Thank you!

Thanks Mark, will do 👍
Seen that on a lot of old doors what would be the reason for that
This is sometimes caused by people applying matt emulsion paint over gloss on woodwork.

Vinyl silk paint can be applied over existing vinyl silk. I am also not a big fan of silk.

I would to be on the safe side.
Very helpful, thanks. Why a medium pile roller for the Bullseye 123 though? Would a short pile be ok? I would want to try and avoid added texture if possible.
Short pile should be fine as long as you apply a full and even coat to the surface. Hope all goes well for you.

HI, great video !. I was considering using Zinsser Guardz as the primer before painting the matt emulsion. Would the 123 be better ? than you
Yes Zinsser Guards is also a good option.
What about a plastered ceiling currently painted in Acrylic eggshell? (Leylandv trade)Can I go over that with a matt emulsion?
That is unusual, acrylic eggshell on a ceiling. I would still give it a coat of the 123 to be on the safe side. Hope all goes well for you Eddy.

Hi
Can Vinyl silk be applied directly on vinyl silk with out sanding
I would recommend a light sand with a fine abrasive (240 grade) first to give a better finish but this is optional.
