    I have a question - what is the reason to go against the direction of the roller? What I've seen from other youtubers is that you have to roll in the direction of metal holder to avoid ridges and if you leave ridges on the primer that will also show on the paint.

      Hi there, yes I use the same primer on walls and ceilings doors and trim.
      I use a few different brands of paint, the best paint on the market in Canada is definitely Benjamin Moore. If you go to the store they should be able to help you with all your needs, well I guess you will have to call them first and make sure they are open and doing curbside pickup if you are in Ontario. Hope this helps

    • @TheCanadianHomePainter
      @TheCanadianHomePainter  3 года назад +4

      Hi there, thanks for watching and for the comment and question. I have used all kinds of brushes and all sizes, a number of years ago i found the perfect brush for me and what i do, mostly interior house painting, and that was the 1.5 inch angled Bennett proffesional series brush. I do like to wash them first a couple times before using because it will open up the brush a bit wider and thicker. Which I find is just right for me to get crisp straight lines. Bennett is a Canadian company and the products are made here in Canada. If you are in the states you might want to check with your local paint store to see if they carry them. Perhaps a home depot would as well.
      Glad you enjoy my videos 😊👍🏻

It goes on so smooth, like butter? Is that the brush doing that?

      As for the brush, I have to male sure the wash and dry them a couple time which will expand them to about 2 " give or take. Right out of the package they aren't what I like. Wooster is a great brand as well , very popular here too, try out the inch and a half and see what you think

      Hi there, in the case of this video the reason was for covering the drywall repairs. If I don't prime I see where the repairs were behind the paint, the primer works to conceal those areas. If you don't have repairs and you are painting latex paint over previous painted latex then you should be fine. Hope this helps
