Great video.Just what i was looking for.It is totally different seeing the paint being laid down in front of your eyes than reading about it in a review.This Johnstones paint looks as good as paints that are almost twice the price .I am about to paint my kitchen cabinets and after looking at all the other brands i had more or less settled on this one but you have finally convinced me.For that i Thank You.

Never heard of Blockade. Will have to look into it.

Hello mate, agree big time with you about aquaguard, great stuff. Wont be using anything else. I was given a sample when it first came out and have only just used it this week. I ve sprayed Johnstones acrylic durable on ceilings, walls and woodwork. Padded the woodwork down and put 2x coats of the aquaguard on. I put a bit of Flowetrol in the mix. The end product looks sprayed even tho i brushed and rollered it on. Try a 2 inch ice fusion brush, because of its really soft synthetic bristles it lays off lovely. Good vid by the way mate👍

putsy1968 thank you mate, it is great stuff I’ve used it quite a bit now only thing I’ve fount is it loves to run. I’ve not tried sticking flowetrol in it but I may give that a go. It really does lay off nicely 👌🏻 I use the ice fusion a lot aswell it’s a great brush only problem I find is it is not magnetic so doesn’t sit in my Wooster very well 🤦🏼‍♂️

Hi mate, yes it can run but it s like using oil back in the day. You have to keep an eye on it. Keep using it, its worth it 👍

Great Vid Thanks

I’ve found that a synthetic brush is essential. I was using a normal Harris brush (“suitable for all paints”), and it kept dragging. The paint didn’t want to leave the brush. I switched to a Dulux cutting in brush that I knew was definitely synthetic, and it went on like a different product, flowed easily. The difference was quite incredible.

Hey mate, sorry for the late response my notifications havn’t been working on KZread! If you havn’t got around to using it yet definitely do! Would love to hear how you get on.

Used this paint today but instead of sanding I used used ESP easy surface prep then I put two coats of aqua guard or dark oak it turned out brilliant the finish was like PVC affect to it so I recommend it.

I have had some ESP in the van for about a year now which I haven’t used. Really need to get around to trying it!

This was very helpful, especially the Blockade tip. Aqua Guard it is, then! Update, tried Blockade, two tips for the amateur, runny, so don't overload brush, and in summer it dried very quickly, so don't over brush

Since it's shellac based the solvent will be alcohol and B-I-N is runny, so I'm not surprised.

Haven't seen any professional painter on here carry out the obvious scratch test on any water based paint, so that's thoughtful of you. With and without undercoat was another helpful test. Strictly speaking this paint is a hybrid, it has the best of both worlds because there is a little bit of solvent added. So in theory it will eventually yellow hence why it's now sold as 'long lasting whiteness' and not 'non-yellowing' any more in their official sales pitch. I'm sure you will tell us how long the whiteness lasts in practice, it should be many years.

@rolfeypaints

Thank you I tried to make it as good of a test as possible. And the aqua guard isn’t actually a hybrid it’s fully water based. The aqua satin and the rest of the range is a hybrid but this is there full water based version. It acts more like a pu paint so in theory it shouldn’t yellow but I will find out over time 👌🏻

@amuthanshan

You're right. The 'Aqua' in the name made me think it was in the aqua system hybrid range but it's not, so Aqua Guard should be non-yellowing. Now that I know polyurethane is the special ingredient, I'm going to investigate Bedec Aqua at my local diy store as the Johnstone's is not locally available. Thanks!

Great video. Was going to skip the uc as suggested on several forums but after the video I think I’ll continue using Johnstone’s aqua uc. You mentioned that you’ve tried spraying with the aqua range, what spray gun and tip size did you use?

Interesting video Rolfe 👌 ...its looking like a more affordable option to Benjamin moore scuff x

Can you do a test on old yellowed oil based gloss with and without undercoat?

BM scuffx is best I’ve used to date but I’ve got a litre of this to try see how it compares ,ya can get away with 2 coats of scuffx on but they say ya must use under coat with aqua guard

The problem with this product is it a 3 coat system, doing a HSL could add another 2 days labour to apply third coat, not many customers would pay the extra labour cost.

@rolfeypaints

Sorry for the late reply, my notifications weren’t working on here! Yes, it is a 3 coat system but you can do 2 coats in one day, which I guess is the beauty of water based.

What’s it like for standing up to hand oils on bannisters and newel posts

It doesnt kill your brushes just treat them like a oil based product and keep them in water

Can you link the staal brush and what size is it? Cheers

As a decorator I've been really pissed off with water based paint. It's either brush marks, ruined brushes, try this try that with this or that brush costing more to get a half decent finish or extra coats needed requiring extra cost and people might not want to pay, feel like we have had a bad deal with current offerings. The best ones cost a small fortune now. Best for me was rubbol bl satura but its gone now, idiots at dulux reckon their trade satinwood is the same but its not, had a drop of the old left over and it doesn't compare, BL wasn't perfect but the finish was top(after multiple coats!!).

Nice little vid there mate...Ive seen a lot of people talking about blockade, apparently its better and cheaper than BIN but it looks pretty yellow in the clip...will one satin or aqua guard cover it ok? The Aque undercoat is ok,,, but it wrecks brushes

yeah mate it is decent stuff, but I do still use both! You could probably get away with 2 coats of Aqua Guard but I would recommend the undercoat even though it is a brush killer !

Hi do i need to water it down ? If so how ? For painting window sashes

Has anyone used this with a sprayer?sorry just got close to the end where you say you used it in a sprayer. Did you dilute it?

What kind of small roller sleeve would you use for this? I’ve got waist high panels round a bedroom to paint in this which i think would take way too long with a brush. Thanks

Its just as tough as scuff-x imo and levels out better. . But its very slow to apply compared to scuffx so it would probably cost you more in labour. The trick with these PU paints is to apply thickly try not to thin otherwise they will run. I use alot of caporal PU satin which is alittle more forgiving imo. Trying everal aqua 40 at the moment in New white
