I’ve lightly keyed old gloss and applied two coats of this straight over. Have also used over leyland acrylic primer & undercoat when the surface wasn’t sound or colour change required. May try to the new Aqua Guard undercoat, didn’t fancy the hybrid due to issues cleaning brushes out. What I would say in the best finish appeared to be from two coats over the old keyed gloss so the undercoat may be more of an optional step. Just tried Dulux Heritage eggshell this week as well. Much thinner, slightly flatter finish but really difficult to tell any difference side by side but it has a very distinctive and lingering smell that I don’t like. Probably going to stick with the Aqua Guard as a result.
HI how did it go ? is it washable? Scratch resistant? Did u sand before uc or between uc ? I've sanded down x gloss doors. Should I use 123 primer? Or just go with Jon's uc ? Please tell me best method in steps including sanding thanks
@@Inexteriors Sorry. Just to be sure. The doors I sanded had old solvent gloss which yellowed. Do I use a primer and undercoats or just the two undercoats and one top coat ? in your video did you mention you had sanded your first top coat ?
@@Inexteriors thank you for your kind replies as I did loads of sanding. sanding is the worst. I really don't like all the effort of sanding x 4 doors x 3 windows which all yellowed from old layers of tough gloss. I wanted to be sure I am using the correct procedure so I won't have to re -do it all over. I really appreciate your advice and your videos are a great help 👍
@@Inexteriors I want to stay away from leyland trade because when I used their water based satin in my daughters bedroom it was a load of rubbish to apply and it looks grey. I've read the oil based also drags like the water based.
Have you OR anyone ever showered with your paint brushes ? Today, I used Crown Easyclean Matt Emulsion , Washable & Wipeable, Multi Surface Paint to paint my bathroom ceiling. This paint was easy to work with. A Lovely consistency. Bright white. Not reflective, Very mild odor. It went on like a dream, However, I noticed I got carried away painting and realised I would be 20 mins late for my dinner date. To save time cleaning myself and my painting equipment separately. I decided to bring paint tray, brushes, rollers into the shower with me. I solved two tasks at the same time !
I used it last week Steven with a bit of M-1 latex extender (similar to floetrol but i find it works better ) and it did flow on really nice , i think it's a decent product for water based but i still think it's not as good as oil for finish and application. Nice vid mate .👍
Cheers bud, and thanks for your input, it won't be long before oil based paints are totally out lawed lol. We need to get used to these types of products, they are getting good to be honest.
Two different products, the aquaguard is an acrylic, the aqua satin and gloss are hybrid, personally I hate hybrid coatings, completely pointless. Aquaguard on the hand is very good
@@Inexteriors I dont see the point in hybrid paint...its like all thats good and bad about oil and water based paints in one tin, it dries quicker than oil based but longer than acrylic, water based, although in fairness theres less brushmarking, it smells worse than acrylic, but not as as as oil based, and its a doesn't yellow like oil based, but still yellows, albeit over a longer period...whereas acrylic doesnt yellow at all. It also wrecks your brushes, or you have to either change them or swill them out during a shift. The one saving grace I guess is it feel more like a traditional oil based when its being applied. Ive been using water based gloss since 1985, and that really was a nightmare!...thank god its improved since then
They are getting loads better, I only started using them about 7 years ago lol. I have done doors about 4 years ago in the Aqua satin and they still looked pure white, also I have a kitchen door and a pantry door side by side 1 done in the Aqua guard satin the other done in the Aqua satin I did them about 7 months ago and so far there is no difference.
@@Inexteriors yeah the satin, like the oil based version is least likely to yellow, certainly less than the goss does. The original (sandtex brand) water based really took some getting used to...if you went over a wet edge a minute or so later it 'picked up'...lifting straight off the undercoat... but when I used it the very first time, 3 windows, nice warm sunny day, undercoated, glossed and closed again in 3 hours! That was groundbreaking back then impossible with oil based. It only came in 6 colours...then I did a garage door poppy red over a dark pink undercoat....5 coats later...😩😔 It was like red scumble glaze mate! Its improved so much since, it had too! 😂
Don’t really get the opportunity to try loads of different products due to doing new builds constantly But on the odd occasion I use bedec multi surface , great stuff Good coverage, grip , and drys so quick with a bit of assistance from a heater of just good old fashioned fresh air Not had it pull at all Crown fast flow not bad either
Spot on going slow for learning technic to paint doors....just what i needed cheers matie
Cheers buddy. Thankyou for watching.

Great stuff, thanks for the input it is much appreciated, i haven't tried the aqua guard undercoat yet.
Would the mat version of this spray okay via airless? Wanting to use on a staircase. Thanks
Not to sure, It should say on the tin. Let me know how you get on.

Sand, 123 primer, if going over oil based paints, then aqua undercoat then 2 top coats. yes it is durable.

@@bsfbestshortfilmsonyoutube Bullseye 123 first, undercoat then 2 top coat, lightly sand inbetween coats if you want.

@@bsfbestshortfilmsonyoutube No probs.
Can you recommend a different brand of satinwood as the aqua guard is a bit expensive for a council house
Do you know what's on there at the moment.
This is a good shout it is oil based. amzn.to/3YctwWl
@@Inexteriors I'm stripping the paint back to bare wood
Did you see the link I sent. The b&q good home water based was OK when I used I a few years ago, follow the system on the tin though

No bud, but thsts multi tasking.
What’s the best water based satin you’ve used ? I’m not the greatest of painters so I’m looking for a paint that won’t drag or leave brush marks
Johstones Aqua satin, it is a hybrid, though, but is more water-based.
@@Inexteriors thank you 👍
Farrow and ball eggshell...brilliant stuff. Cant say that about their emulsion.
You can use zinsser 123 as a under coat first
Under the satin or undercoat
@@Inexteriors under the satin without the use of there undercoat
@@garyhayward2143 This is why i like the comments, because there is always stuff to learn.
Was the door originally painted with wb paint or solvent gloss ?
Years ago oil based, then b&Q water based satin, then aqua satin, then aqua guard.
@@Inexteriors when you painted over the gloss did you sand it first and prime before using b&q satin ?
@@bsfbestshortfilmsonyoutubeI sanded not primed i did not know to years ago,i was trying it out.
Aqua Guard worth the extra price over Aqua Water Based Satin?
It is good stuff to be fair easy to use and fully water based.
I used it last week Steven with a bit of M-1 latex extender (similar to floetrol but i find it works better ) and it did flow on really nice , i think it's a decent product for water based but i still think it's not as good as oil for finish and application. Nice vid mate .👍

@@Inexteriors Hopefully i'll be retired by the time oil is phased out mate 😁
@@orbitalforest lol, just e enjoy it my friend, time does fly by.

I just could not belive the durability of the Aqua system when I first used it. I was blown away lol.
Msp for me
