@@Idahopainter hey man, help me market my invention for Hardy Board. Looks like wood as these Colortones or spray and stack shops do but next time it needs cleaned and sealed they can't do it without the boards lol. My way a monkey can do it
I don’t know if you have heard of the Richard/Hyde gooseneck flexible paint brush extension. This will help in all kinds of situations. Awesome paint brush. Reach the unreachable. Cheers!
I'm a long time painter ..mostly work by myself...this guy is a painting genius...saves you so much time an effort...his videos are just good common sense with the proper tools/equipment. .Thanks for the knowledge!
Thank you, I have been painting (and improving) for about 10 years now. I still watch your videos because I ALWAYS learn something or am reminded of something. There really is no excuse for some of the paint jobs I have seen done when everyone has access to your information if they just care enough to do some research and do it right.
I just wanted to thank you because I recently started painting for extra money because my career was destroyed by COVID-19 & OPEC. These are helping me feed my family.
Mate I've been a qualified painter and decorator in Australia for 10 years working top quality residential . I used to watch your videos for a laugh . But that trick with the square set ( besides the tape you and I don't need that !) Above the weather boards is absolutely awesome love it ! Good on ya mate
Got a question for you pros . I am a trim carpenter . I was building a new hand rail and staircase in a really nice house . It was just me and my crew doing some windows and staircase and remodel of two fireplaces . Painters came in too paint all of the . Super nice oak . Base/case door jambs . Crown chair rail . Kitchen cabs and island . As it was all stained and finished . We left for a week let them have the house . Came back and the finish is cracking bad . U can run your hands across the wood work now and it feels like 400 grit . But the cracking and etc is BAD . Bad bad bad bad
I over head the painters and home owners talking . Painter said . There is a product. That they can spray on over lacquer . So they wouldn’t haft to use lacquer again . As home owners . Left for a week . They don’t want to leave again cause I know it’s a whole re paint . I guess my question is . Is there any such product .
Hey, really enjoy your videos. I’ve been a painter for 30 years, but still learning new stuff from other painters. The two done spring method is great except for when you were on a 40 foot ladder in the air you would need at least one hand to hang on for dear life while you spray with the other.😉
I have experience in agriculture and hard labor but now I started working in a painting company. And this man has given tips to make work easy which it does 😎👍👍
I have been hired to paint people's office. I am a pretty good painter but I know I am not a professional. Your videos are showing me what I don't know that will make all the difference in the quality of my work.
Buddy you have helped me soooooo much! I got so much knowledge from your videos! I’ve been painting way to long not to know your frog 🐸 tape & clear caulk trick! Much appreciated & much Respect! Thanks so much
I’m always saying I’m going to google why the black dust comes out and never get around to it and just wipe it up....I watched another video of yours about mixing paint now I’m watching a mix of all your videos and I’m so glad I did!!!!!!! God Bless You!
Great Channel by the way!!! One thing I would add to the hinge is to clean it before lubing it. I clean the pin with a paper towel and then spray inside the hinge with a fast-drying degreaser. Make sure to protect everything around the hinge before spraying. Then lube up the pin with a thin coat of lube. This way the hinge pins will last longer and you will not have to go back next year to add more lube because of all the metal in the lube wearing out your door hinge.
Graphite dust does not come from the hinges wearing against each other. It’s there because we use graphite power as a lubricant for the hinges. It’s simply lubricant that has worked itself out of the hinges over many opening and closing cycles.
I’m hoping you’ll see this, maybe maybe not, but what type of sprayer would you recommend for painting moulding? Mainly base, crown, and shoe. I currently use a Wagner hand sprayer but it’s difficult to get a good finish. There are usually tiny bumps here and there that I have to sand down and touch up. I’m looking to upgrade to a better spray system so any info would be greatly appreciated. Love your vids and the info you give!
Just get a graco 395 with fflp tips Much faster and better quality that those hand held battery powered sprayers You will see the difference on the finish product
Muchas gracias por todos sus consejos...yo pinto y tu eres un profecional....gracias por tus tips....te escribo desde new yersey usa. Costa rica san josé....PURA VIDA.
The mask tip is very helpful, nothing worse then using the daily mask and it carries a stank. I usually wash mine with soap and water, but the rubbing alcohol trick looks faster with a reassurance of being disinfected.
You would think the alcohol would dry out the rubber... and I don't think you have to worry about getting YOURSELF sick. Lol. Maybe if you share masks... which is gross...
I use the two gun system when spraying some big exteriors. I just have another guy using the other gun. It is actually a nice hack. Two guys spraying from one machine. Of course you need a beefy sprayer but it is diffently handy to be set up that way.
Hey man nice tips,, any possible way i can get you to give a little more details and info on using 2 spray guns at once, like this video,,, the link you have here seems to be just for a dual tip running off 1 hose
great video!!!! i dont know why youtube has not put recent vids in my feed (i know this one is older) .... i try to stay active in comments here because I thought it helped the weird AI to bring them up. I'll try harder. thanks always for the great vids
While spraying exterior latex with a Graco X7 & 515 tip the addition of a 12” extension to the gun caused both spiting at trigger release and paint dripping from the tip. Removing the extension and using the same tip directly on the gun stopped both issues. The paint is a high quality PPG Sun Proof, fresh, strained and well mixed. All accessories are Graco. Pressure (no gauge) was just high enough to prevent ‘tails’. Suggestions?
When using aqua filler on oak cabinets I understand. Are you sanding then aqua fill, do you restrain? And what are you using for water barrier? Spray with or brush polyurethane or lacquer?
Ive tried to explain this tape and caulk technique to journey men. Your channel is awesome. The only thing I dont understand is how and why your painters load their brushes the way they do? Not that its wrong, its just wrong for me. Best and thanks.
Lol. I paint two handed when I Use Rattle Cans just for faster even coverage. People look at me like its revolutionary. Lol Really works though, dont knock it. ... Another O.G. Painter
Hey man I've been following your channel for a few months,i am a painting contractor in New England Massachusetts and New Hampshire to to be exact, the houses and exteriors we our painting are a lot different then houses in Idaho or I would believe there is no stucco out here. A lot of old Victorian 3 deckers, it seems like you work on some very nice homes and you seem to have a quick turnaround with your crew. You're smart for that to have the two guys I seen the videos with you all the times I can't remember your names but I can tell you know that they are able paint like you and me doing their own thing you can trust them and then new hires some Young Guns and teach them trade and can pay them fairly cheap money to you but it's still way better money to them compared to what they make at McDonald's and they're learning a trade in the process. I commend you for that that's awesome. We have a lot in common and I've been thinking about buying that $120 paintbrush ever since that video LOL I just wish it was 3 inch flat or angled. Another question I had is you said you normally use BBQ Grill cleaners to clean your paint brushes instead of the normal say Purdy iron brush you could get it any local Sherwin-Williams. Is it the width of it in the handle Leverage with the length of the BBQ cleaner? I suppose also the brushes are a little shorter in Langston don't bend out like normal brushes do overtime. Just a funny question I had when I heard you say it. Just wanted to let you know I'm a fan I didn't remember your name please put it in the reply if you do, like I said I'm out of Massachusetts and New Hampshire, a little different Exteriors, but your interior methods are a mirror to mine LOL. To be running this channel on doing well like you are and have your successful business your hard driven hard worker like myself. I commend you for bringing the camera out to the paint world so people can see who you think it's easy, like you said there's a shortage of real professional painters such as myself you and your few Journeymen you have with you. So now you're getting a RUclips check on top of your contracts made you must be killing it congratulations on your success I'm sure a lot of young people looking to start a pink company and looking for some Pro tips, or just average person painting their house your videos are going to get the views over any other painting videos not only do you give better advice due to your position, but you explain it to where anyone with no experience could understand. Hats off to you man bank account must look nice LOL. Just pay those two guys I always seen the videos with you top dollar they deserve it and you're making good money on the paint business as well as you to business. And their skill-set looks pretty dialed nothing you have to look after, and that is hard to find you want to keep them and treat them good because they know what type of money of pulling in. LOL I'm just saying that to bust your balls from show you paid them a great hourly wage for their work and they seem to really like doing the little videos with you as well
@@Idahopainter people think being a painting contractor is easy and other Tradesmen like to think painting is easy but real skilled knowledgeable professional painters who know what they're doing aren't easy to find these days
Just use a large extention wand or you can put a couple together w scaffolding. Also can just use extension ladder with just spray gun no wand or little 6or 8 incher with a knuckle in the end. What are you trying to paint or are you trolling lol ?

Missed the survey but an online class on setting up a kitchen for spraying. I currently take all doors and drawers to my shop and do everything else onsite. I've the sprayer but I'd like to know how you tape everything off and create ventilation. TIA.
I spray cabinets with solvent based alkyd primer and solvent based polyurethane top coat. Meaning solvents get air borne. Your only option for ventilation is to have all doors and windows open. You could spend $150 on a very powerful exhaust fan from Harbour Freight - it is 3,000 CFM, not kidding, and very very sturdy. But it won't suck out 3,000 CFM from any room fast enough so you don't inhale it even with a VOC respirator. Best approach is to open all windows/doors AND spray slow so you don't saturate the air with overspray/solvents. I also use a forced air full face shield with the air pump on a belt You can get these from military surplus ebay stores for literally $20 for the air pump. The face mask is about $100. Taping is not as straight forward and fast as he shows it on the video. The spray will enter any little gap you leave in the tape - like for example where the tape meets the shelf. Also usually cabinets have dust or fine debris or food oils and tape does not stick perfect. Take your time taping - it is done the way he shows here but he uses fancy orange tape because that is probably one of his sponsors. I suggest using the highest tack white masking tape you can find. And don't use plastic - use masking paper - it moves much less than the thin plastic when the air from the spray gun hits it. Plastic, if not tight can move and stick itself on the newly sprayed surface. Do yourself a favor and use super fast primer - an alkyd solvent based primer or a lacquer undercoat (solvent based too). Dry time is instant for the alkyd and about 60 seconds for the undercoat. Fills any scratches, dings, etc. too and results in a superior sculpted finish. Both materials fill the worse of the worse - the exposed edges of MDF - in a single pass. Because of the fast dry time the solids do not have time to "soak" into the shitty MDF and set hard on the surface. Every other primer either soaks in or it requires 3-4 coats and waiting in between. Spray rig: HVLP gun (remote cup preferred for hand comfort and easy angling) or the Graco fine finish nozzles for airless (but if using the airless filling the hose takes a quart of material and cleaning with Lacquer Thinner wastes a gallon for sure). Honestly for the ease of use I'd go with the Fine Finish Airless nozzle. Price of 1-2 gallons of Lacquer for cleaning is ok and you most likely own an airless sprayer already so a Fine Finish nozzle and tip will run about $90. With my suggestions you do not need to remove any doors and drawers unless you need every single surface of the drawers painted (back, bottom). But taping some models of hinges and handles is a bitch so play it by ear. Remove as much hardware as you can. A kitchen with two walls of cabinets and two bathroom cabinets takes me 6-7 hours - from the time I open the door to the time I lock up the place and leave. One man. Good luck.
Cool video ! I'm just wondering about that box that levels ladders on steps, what happens it you lose your balance n lean too far to the side??? There's nothing to stop you from falling is there?
2 situations on sand finished plaster walls. I have a floor to ceiling crack on the plaster board joint. When it's repaired with joint compound or plaster it will eventually pop open again. My plaster guy says to use caulk instead of plaster or tape and joint compound, what is your recommendation. Second, someone not thinking pasted things on a kids room wall with glue. When I peel up the glue it takes up the latex paint leaving a ragged edge 2"-3" depression, how do I fill that so I can repaint the wall. Thanks, Steve
Your word stumbles are what make you so fun to watch. I worry all your new RUclips training and editing will remove what makes you so down to earth and real. It's your hook.

Thanks so much for your tips. Try the 5 in 1. Tool to score a line at the ceiling. Stomp and drag the ceiling and orange peeled the walls. The scored line ready made a great line with little effort. Thanks loads
Missed the survey but an online class on setting up a kitchen for spraying. I currently take all doors and drawers to my shop and do everything else onsite. I've the sprayer but I'd like to know how you tape everything off and create ventilation.
TIA.
I spray cabinets with solvent based alkyd primer and solvent based polyurethane top coat. Meaning solvents get air borne. Your only option for ventilation is to have all doors and windows open. You could spend $150 on a very powerful exhaust fan from Harbour Freight - it is 3,000 CFM, not kidding, and very very sturdy. But it won't suck out 3,000 CFM from any room fast enough so you don't inhale it even with a VOC respirator. Best approach is to open all windows/doors AND spray slow so you don't saturate the air with overspray/solvents. I also use a forced air full face shield with the air pump on a belt You can get these from military surplus ebay stores for literally $20 for the air pump. The face mask is about $100.
Taping is not as straight forward and fast as he shows it on the video. The spray will enter any little gap you leave in the tape - like for example where the tape meets the shelf. Also usually cabinets have dust or fine debris or food oils and tape does not stick perfect. Take your time taping - it is done the way he shows here but he uses fancy orange tape because that is probably one of his sponsors. I suggest using the highest tack white masking tape you can find. And don't use plastic - use masking paper - it moves much less than the thin plastic when the air from the spray gun hits it. Plastic, if not tight can move and stick itself on the newly sprayed surface.
Do yourself a favor and use super fast primer - an alkyd solvent based primer or a lacquer undercoat (solvent based too). Dry time is instant for the alkyd and about 60 seconds for the undercoat. Fills any scratches, dings, etc. too and results in a superior sculpted finish. Both materials fill the worse of the worse - the exposed edges of MDF - in a single pass. Because of the fast dry time the solids do not have time to "soak" into the shitty MDF and set hard on the surface. Every other primer either soaks in or it requires 3-4 coats and waiting in between.
Spray rig:
HVLP gun (remote cup preferred for hand comfort and easy angling) or the Graco fine finish nozzles for airless (but if using the airless filling the hose takes a quart of material and cleaning with Lacquer Thinner wastes a gallon for sure). Honestly for the ease of use I'd go with the Fine Finish Airless nozzle. Price of 1-2 gallons of Lacquer for cleaning is ok and you most likely own an airless sprayer already so a Fine Finish nozzle and tip will run about $90.
With my suggestions you do not need to remove any doors and drawers unless you need every single surface of the drawers painted (back, bottom). But taping some models of hinges and handles is a bitch so play it by ear. Remove as much hardware as you can.
A kitchen with two walls of cabinets and two bathroom cabinets takes me 6-7 hours - from the time I open the door to the time I lock up the place and leave. One man.
Good luck.
Cool video ! I'm just wondering about that box that levels ladders on steps, what happens it you lose your balance n lean too far to the side??? There's nothing to stop you from falling is there?
2 situations on sand finished plaster walls. I have a floor to ceiling crack on the plaster board joint. When it's repaired with joint compound or plaster it will eventually pop open again. My plaster guy says to use caulk instead of plaster or tape and joint compound, what is your recommendation. Second, someone not thinking pasted things on a kids room wall with glue. When I peel up the glue it takes up the latex paint leaving a ragged edge 2"-3" depression, how do I fill that so I can repaint the wall. Thanks, Steve
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience. BTW thats a speed square not a framing square. Lol
Yep, i am known for calling out tools by the wrong name. LOL
Your word stumbles are what make you so fun to watch. I worry all your new RUclips training and editing will remove what makes you so down to earth and real. It's your hook.
What’s up guys, I went to sherwin Williams yesterday and they showed me a titan spray guide cut in tool was just curious if you have ever used one and whether or not it’s worth buying. Thanks guys
I've used it on interior jobs, and cutting in fascia. Not a bad gadget, just gotta remember to keep wiping the deflector wheel down.
Mixed emotions. I had a hard time getting it to work right. But many love it
Good stuff broheem!
