# why not use paint stripper?

@sahasrahla1015

5 жыл бұрын

You can use paint stripper as long as you protect your floor with a tarp and some tape and keep a window open to avoid breathing in the fumes too much. Apply the paint stripper, allow it to act, and scrape it off. If some paint didn't come off, apply more paint stripper. When you're done, wash off the paint stripper residue with water and sodium carbonate (or just dish soap). If you have concerns about the paint stripper damaging the baseboards, test it out in a place that's not very visible first. You can also use a hot air gun but only if your baseboards are made out of wood (or they'll melt) but be careful not to burn your baseboards. Warm the paint with the hot air gun until it starts to form bubbles on the surface, then just scrape the paint off with a scraper. Just keep in mind that it's much easier to damage the wood using this technique (also, you might burn yourself) so go at it gently. If you're feeling brave (or hate your back) you can try sanding.

How it look now

Fun tip: Before using the part of the roller that absorbs paint, put tape over it to get all the fuzzies off so that later it doesn't stick to the wall and ruin your finish.

Mostly good advice, but NEVER store your wet paintbrush upright to dry! The water sinks to the bottom and either warps the brush or messes up the adhesive and you lose chunks of bristles. Lay flat or even better reshape and hang from the handle to dry

Thank you, this helped a lot! As an alternative to wearing old clothes, I would also recommend covering yourself with something disposable. Today me and my grandmother Painted her kitchen and we wore disposable gloves and a plastic swimming cap on our heads. Instead of changing our clothes, we each got a massive trash bag a d put our head and arms through and wore it as a smock which covered our whole bodies. True, it does look a bit awkward, especially with the plastic cap, but it really helps keep our clothes clean. I also recommend taking time to relax in between and to do other things so it doesn't feel like it drags on. Halfway through Painting today, my grandmother made dinner, and I took off my shoes, gloves and smock (but for some reason left the cap on my head 😂), and I sat on the sofa, got comfortable, turned the TV, and, as it was a cold day, I got under a blanket to cover my whole body to warm up, and I sat for about a half hour relaxing with a hot mug of tea which my grandmother made me, before putting on another smock and pair of gloves and getting back to work.

Advice: do not patch the holes that way. You can clearly see that the patch shrunk down and the hole is still noticeable. Filling takes about 2-3 coats depending on the size, with sanding in between to make it flush with the walls.

Dont leave your brush with the bristles up, this causes the water to pool in the base, which will take forever to dry and eats away at the adhesive. You will then be left with a paintbrush that continually looses hairs...

Great video for home use! A few things were off, as some have mentioned but overall, thats my go-to way of painting. One tip: If your like me and not single, you may get interrupted by kids, hubs, errands, chores. In your paint tray and handheld paint bucket, you can use the liners she mentioned, they sell both at the store. But you can also use plastic bags for both! For the paint tray I use about 6gal trash bags with open edge towards the deeper end then tape closed. For the hand bucket I use bread loaf bags ( can be found in food storage bag area of some stores) or other similar small bags. Then when you are interrupted, simply cover the tray with another bag and tape or tie closed, and tie closed the bag in hand bucket with itself or a rubber band, making sure no holes are open. When you are ready to paint the next time, your paint is readily available with no crusty, dry crumbs that can ruin a paint job.

I love the grey. You did an awesome job. You are a great teacher. You explained things well and you have a soothing voice. Thank you for the video.

I painted my room in grey flat paint and it looks amazing, has a calm vibe and no light shines off the wall

I'm a professional painter and I must say, this is by far the best one of these instructional painting videos I've ever seen. Most of them are made by so called pros and they're awful. The only thing I heard that wasnt completely accurate in my experience was matte paint being easiest to apply. But thats not picky and probably a bit of a personal opinion. Honestly, all terminology and instructions are dead on how I do things daily.

When cutting, you always want to tap the bottom of the brush after you soak it in paint so that the paint seeps into the bristles and then wipe off the sides that way majority of the paint is in the brush and you have better control of how much paint goes on the wall.

Hey no one is pointing this out, so I will. I've been watching a few videos on painting rooms, and I have found a few similarities between this video and Lowes' video on painting rooms. "Resist the urge to fully submerge the roller" is mentioned in this video as well as in Lowes' video. Another similarity is the recommendation for cleaning your brushes/rollers, with the two videos telling you to reshape your brush after cleaning and to use a 5-in-one tool to clean rollers. These two examples that I found occurred to me randomly, and I find it pointless to research this further, as I do not want any violence (and I'm pretty sure this comment won't get seen), but there may be more similarities that I have missed, so yeah.

You really know your stuff. I'm definitely gonna be referring to this for a refresher if I decide to paint some rooms at home at the end of the summer...

I don't enjoy painting, but you make it look more fun. Thanks for the tips.

I don't remember her saying anything about ventilation, so here are a few tips from my experience. If it's a bedroom you are painting, please consider the season you are in and if you should be painting during that time. Plan to sleep in another room of the house until your project is completely finished. I made the mistake of painting during a really cold winter and I had to open the windows to let fresh air in. Low odor cans of paint can help with the smell, but nevertheless they still do strongly smell if you are covering large areas. Cheap respirator masks can only protect you from breathing sanding and other particles, temporarily. Invest in a face mask that can protect you from those particles and possibly the smell too, if its too strong. You can try covering your mouth and nose with a shirt around your neck, but I don't know how effective that would be in blocking out the smell of paint. Hope this helps.

I have to disagree about the painter's tape. I've painted the entire interior of a 2,000sq ft house and Frogtape was FAR superior to the blue stuff. And if you are patching a hole with a raised edge (most nails pull up a bit of drywall when they are pulled out), give it a tap with a hammer so you can spackle the wall levelly.
