I was recommended Sikkens Water-based satinwood for my 1st renovation project after a failed attempt at using dulux quick dry satinwood. The Sikkens stuff was amazing. It had been discontinued by the time I started my 2nd renovation project. The guy at Brewers told me that dulux had brought out Sikkens and rebranded it as Dulux Trade Diamond water based satinwood. True or not it was just as great. It’s all il ever use for woodwork now. For window sills, i water it down ever so slightly and use a loaded foam roller to apply. The finish is immaculate.
I much prefer water based, I know a lot of people hate brush marks, but as long as they're straight and long and laid off nicely, I actually quite like seeing them - shows that it's been painted by hand and done with care. I'm too impatient for oil based usually, and hate the yellowing with white too. Great job!
I think I'm just used to using oil and you can hardly see brush marks but then again it takes a while to dry 😬 Phil just done a video about yellowing with water based paints, maybe the same happens with oil based if it's not exposed to daylight? 🤷♂️
If you want to save money, instead of the Ronseal Wood Filler, you can usually get Isopon P38 for less and it works equally well on wood. Heating up the paint and watering down slightly can give a really flat finish without brush marks.
I'll check out that isopon 👍 as it happens I got £9.50 off that filler as screwfix gave it to me for the same price as a small tin 😂 Might have to get myself a cheap slow cooker to warm the paint up 😁 I think that helps for spraying too
I have some allcoat that I started painting the metal trusses with as it goes. Never thought of using it for internal woodwork until you mentioned it 🤔👍
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT Although they refer to it as being "exterior", they say it can be used inside too. I guess it just means it's capable of being used externally if required. It's self priming too, but I like to use Zinsser Bulls Eye 123 primer on bare wood.
Those Harris brushes are OK, I've used loads, but the extra dosh on something like Wooster Silvertip really does show in the final finish. I just tend to baulk at the cost of them! I've been using Earthborn eggshell, but I find it doesn't really seem to adhere that well and takes months to really cure well. Was thinking of trying Crown Fastflow as I read good reviews about it.
Ooo looks like they have them brushes in Screwfix so I'll give them a shot 👍 That Earthborn paint looks interesting, do they not recommend a certain primer before or something?
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT mostly I've been just given stuff a light sand because it's crappy skirting boards made of some sort of fibre board and painted with (I suspect) oil paint since it's yellowing. I hate painting so much that I probably have been shortcutting a bit too much. I have tried Zinsser shellac primer a few times, but it's probably not the best for this as it dries stupidly fast and I struggle to get a smooth coat of it on.
Just another DIYer but gave up on oil quite a while ago now, it goes yellow way to fast you end up doing it again and again. Sikkens used to do a nice water based satin but was either not available or discontinued when I last needed some so instead ended up with Benjamin Moore SuperWhite, slow to dry but most of the time only need one coat and stays white and finish as good as oil. My DIY renovation project is taking longer than expected (surprise surprise, lol), but as its an expensive paint that i've now had sitting for 3 and a half years its reassuring to know it not gone bad even though its sat for a such a long time.
I've heard BM paints are the muts nuts. The oil based satin dulux I've used on the bay window hasn't yellowed at all, I wonder if it's something to do with being exposed to natural light or not
I'm painting the staircase with Dulux trade water based and I have drips everywhere. I've put 4 layers to cover the bare wood and have uniform colour (white actually). Did not use primer , maybe that was a mistake.
Oh that sounds like a nightmare 😑 I know the dulux oil base paint hangs on loads better. There are some paints that don't need a primer but I don't think I'd risk it 😬
Always oil based is a suggestion, lasts longer no drips. they do a non drip but it's so thinck it should come with a trowel😅 Good coverage, Johnson and dulux or leyland, you can't go wrong with.
I like to brush and then roller off with a small gloss roller sleeve. Smooths out the paint nicely. I still use Leyland Satinwood, but the smell and drying/curing time are a pain. Looked up the Lickpro and it's a bit pricey 😮😥😅😥.
Have you found any nice gloss rollers? Hummm well on the price it's only a few quid and a tin goes a long way. I'm thinking for the little bit of extra money I'd rather pay it to get a better product, but then what is the best? 🤷♂️😅
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT With Leyland Satin Wood I found 1) Wipe down a section with a damp microfibre cloth. 2) Whack it on with a foam roller 3) Lay it off with a brush bloody quick. I always damp the brush in water before starting so it's easier to clean after. Chuck the foam roller!
Ronseal finish filler is the bees knees bro! no mix required and just as strong as woodfiller, difference is it, doesn't shrink in time, like woodfiller does. it could be a new sil or very good prep with a 120-240 grit, prep, sand, undercoat. prep and under and finish. Nice job just a shame the frames in a bit of a state. What was it like before?
I've never tried it, what's it like to sand? Yeah the frame has been bodged in the past and the bottom sashes are abit rotten. It really needs taking out and repairing properly. I've just kicked the can down the road another few years 😑
With energy efficiency these days ,have you not been tempted to replace the windows ,thats a big space for heat loss . Wont recoup the expenses when selling the home says you 😅. Weres the Arthur cameo 😅.
❤ thanks for the shout out.
The Dulux you used before... I feel your pain.
There's some great WB paints out there. ;)

You're the second person to mention sikkens. I've used a gloss roller before, never a foam one...I want to test a load of different rollers now 😂

Have you tried Zinsser Allcoat satin paint? It can be recoated in just an hour. It's all I used now! Cheers

yes i second that the zinsser allcoat does a very nice job.

Would be interested to see how it sprays mate as I have loads to do indoors and will be spraying
@@LTWCarpentry which one, the Lickpro or the Allcoat? 😆
I used a foam roller with some cheap waterbase paint for my window sills. I warmed it up in a slow cooker and didnt feel the need to lay it off.
I am here after seeing you on BS. Nice window view.
Welcome 👍 yeah you can't beat a bit of greenery

Arthur stays at home to protect Lou 😂
Ah no way, to replace that bay window I'd probably be looking at 20k or more 😬 it's grade one listed too
@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT ooof well believe it that expensive. Out of the window fitting business few years myself.
Best wishes on future work aiden.
Eggshell all day mate
Any favourite brand? I've used a little bit of leyland eggshell before, seemed ok 🤷
I'm surprised someone hasn't commented that this video was like watching paint dry 😝😝😝 See what I did there?
Haha with the quick edit I'm surprised noone did, it's quite a task avoiding making videos boring 🤣
