    I love the finish you get with oil-based paints. And honestly, the VOC (smell) is something that let's me know that the project finish will last for a long time. Originally growing up and living in California, it was disappointing to see oil-based paint get some stigmatized. But now living elsewhere in the country over the last 25 years, I've been free to use oil-based paints for specific jobs and not worry about its quality or availability. Great video!

      It's easy to get a good finish on a small straight piece of timber but not so easy when painting small intricate pieces of furniture etc; believe me, you wont get that finish unless you spray paint rather than brush. I have been in the building trade and painting nearly 60 years and no matter how you apply with a brush on small tricky pieces of timber a finish like what is shown here just wont happen. Try painting trellis work with oil based paints and see what I mean. As for getting a high gloss on water base paints, it you really want such a finish, paint the article with water based paint and then when its dry, coat it with a clear oil based lacquer or varnish and hey presto you will have your high gloss finish.

    Great job. I've been painting for 3 years and love it. That was a good brush you used. I like the corona oil brushes but I use Purdy for anything else. Prep is pretty much the most important part.

    Thx Leah, my mom is a professional artist. I grew up with turpentine as a condiment. Lol , my late father in law was a professional decorator in London. His painting was art . His house interior painting was repainted frequently. IT LOOK LIKE CLASS OR SPRAYED ON.
    Quality brushes along with the sanding and chemistry are IMPERATIVE!
    Excellent video ( again) ❤️

    Back in the olden days we used oil-based primers mostly and when we used them we added almost a one-to-one ratio of penetrol to primer to allow the primer to soak deep into the grain of the wood giving a very long-lasting paint job one of the reasons why paint feels off a house is because it's not sitting into the wood it's sitting on the wood

      So can you use Penetrol on latex paint or primer? Would it make the primer soak into the wood than sitting above the wood?

      Just to clear, liquids give off vapors. Vapor pressure of the liquid is why the smell comes off but in a steam like vapor. Heat the liquid (increase vapor pressure), more vapors leave the surface until you reach boiling. Liquid turns to vapor or gas.

      Vapors, they are paint vapors, not fumes fumes are when you are burning something with a torch

      @@peterdean5300
      Actually, no, they are paint fumes. When the paint starts to dry and the water in it starts to evaporate, the paint starts to release fumes. Fumes are solid particles released into the air, in this case, by evaporation. The fumes in paint are called VOCs or "volatile organic compounds" which are solids dispersed into the air by evaporation. It is not the vapor from the evaporation itself. But you are right, fumes can also come from heating something up.
