Big fan of the Valspar Tough Trade Emulsion, with have to give the Satin a try. My go-to is Zinsser Allcoat at the moment - only problem being brush marks.. Thanks for all the super videos.
Thanks, I won't touch Zinsser all coat for that very reason. It makes your work look bad. It actually dries too fast and is not forgiving and does not sit back at all. Valspar good paint I just don't use white emulsion... Only colours and top coats.
I’ve never tried Valspar, I find Johnstones trade water based is excellent, I’ll try the Valspar, keep up the good work mate 👍 Ps Zinsser degreaser is excellent
Thanks for the vid, i will try the valspar at some point. Dulux quick dry satin is ok but better opacity would be helpful. Wetting the surface slightly before applying water based woodwork paint does make it flow a little easier I find. Johnstone's aqua guard is my favourite so far for exterior. It has some oil in it and works very much like an oil based paint. Sadolin supadec is great too, thanks to you guys for recommending that.
Had to google presses! Never heard that term, Scot's or irish i believe?? Water based can never be as durable as oil imho. My advice to customers is that ob is more prep work to apply but tougher/longlasting and wb is less tough but easier to apply and therefore reapply if required. Guess it depends on the level of wear & tear anticipated
Useful information, thanks. I've heard it said that water-based isn't very resilient on areas such as handrails where there is frequent contact from greasy hands. Has WB paint development improved, or is this still an issue?
This Valspar is one of the best that I've used so far. You do have to compromise sometimes. If you find it does come off then you may just need to use oil on the hand rail only. Thanks
Have been watching you for years - and I am doing exactly the same job as you describe at the moment. Years ago I used a Dulux water based gloss on my newel posts and spindles - it stayed white for years and I was realy happy with it but then it started to revert and go sticky! I have over painted with oil based a couple of time but no good! I am stripping it all of (by hand nightmare!!!) I am going to undercoat and satinwood oil based (PPG) to get away with this problem again. I expect that the aqueous paints are far better now (that old Dulux paint was very quickly withdrawn) - am I safe with water paints now? Anyhow thanks for a great channel I watch them all but I don’t comment much just learn!!! Thank you for all the hard work and advice its been really helpful all the best mate!
Thank you, some water based are a lot better these days. I think you have to compromise on some aspects. Handrails can be the most difficult to deal with, in most cases it's hope for the best.
Another great video, thanks, I'll give valspar a try. Especially with the good opacity, looks impressive! Been using the crown trade fastflow for couple of years now which I know is a hybrid, but find it leaves less brush marks than any other quick dry I've tried so far, but I'll definitely try this on my next job. Ps thanks for all the videos, I'd be lost without them, i've learned more from you guys than I ever did at college 😅. Cheers 👍
@@hardworker8030 Yes, if it helps. It keeps the paint 'open' for a tiny bit longer in hot weather. You can also add Floetrol to your paint to help this. Some people add a little water to the paint, but you can quickly end up needing more coats to cover. The best solution is spend on premium paint in the first place. Little Green Intelligent Satin and Gloss are great and lie flat, Tikkurilla, Caparol and Farrow and Ball also make good, expensive paint.
Stear clear of any woodwork paints you get off the shelf, the best water based satins you can buy are isomat, caparol and Benjamin Moore, trust me I've tried them all over the last 15 years 👍🏻
Hi mate, good video. Interesting you use valspar, I’ve only used it once doing a large walk in wardrobe with loads of shelves and I was impressed with it then. I’m interested in the bit where you mention a mould inhibitor. What do you use? And is this something that can be used in emulsion too?
WOW, its not yet 5AM and the neighbours have just woken up thinking there was a minor tremor... My speakers are in recovery mode from the volume at the end of the video.
Asbestos walls are you sure, double check and check again... If so you need to have it tested to see which asbestos it is, certain types can be deadly. Thanks for watching and subscribing... 👍
I bought ronseal stays white self priming satin for my skirting and door frames.. I found it practically impossible to get a good result. I dampened the surface, dampened the brush, diluted the paint but still have so many brush marks it's ridiculous. Won't use it again. Also I find using fine sandpaper completely pointless. Always use 120 - 180
So true think this is an over looked point you have made.i used 60 grit with sander and took the lot off staircase before and problems arose using new hybrid paint just to be sure.
@@PaintingandDecorating I do always have a laugh and wonder when someone will make a comment pretending that they only use premium paints...the reality is that Benjamin Moore satin is 3x the price of valspar so its a big difference on material prices across the board.
@@jackwardley3626 yes definitely, less smell, non yellowing makes your job quicker. You just have to compromise on certain aspects but generally it's a better option. Thanks 👍
I really like the Leyland Trade Quick Dry Satinwood. Tried a few and always come back to that. Available everywhere too.
Yes, good paint, the water based gloss is good also. Cheers mate
👍Nice demo, Enjoy your calm style. 💯
I’ve never used Valspar satinwood but will definitely give it go after this post👍

Wow, would not have thought that about valspar. Thanks 👍Like you say, great opacity so off to bnq v soon!
Found that it's the most forgiving paint, and tough. Thanks

So the aqua guard ... Would it hold up on kitchen presses?? Or would oil based be the way2 go???

@@craigwilliams7516 Irish lol 😂 yes I think I will go with oil as I don't want them 2 break down thanks very much for the reply 👍
As far as I know, and this could be off-topic, all emulsions contain some oil. Mayonnaise is an emulsion.

Cheers mate thank you..
Have you tried Benjamin Moore scuffx...a lot of decorators swear by it... personally I think its overpriced, especially when compared to jonnos aqua
Not yet but I will give them ago.. thanks
I used Leyland Trade Quick Dry Satinwood on doors and I was drying to quick and it's leaving roller marks.
Yes very difficult in warm weather.. add some water and work faster... Only way.. thanks
Try wetting the door down with a wet cloth first. It not only makes it wet, it cools it too.

@@PaintingandDecorating thanks 🙏
The thing I hate about these waterbased paints is they’re always awful to rub down when it comes to decorating again in the future
So true think this is an over looked point you have made.i used 60 grit with sander and took the lot off staircase before and problems arose using new hybrid paint just to be sure.
It's cos you are using the wrong products, anything off the shelf is crap
Scuff x .?
hi are you still using the Water Based Satinwood, is it good stuff
Yes it's not bad at all speeds up the job. Thanks
👍👍
Thanks
Is the paint watery
On a serious note, it's okay 👍
Hi mate are you Manchester based? How do we contact you about your availability? Thanks
Sorry we only upload videos not really looking for work. Thanks

Valspar over Benjamin Moore or Isomat.
Yes
He's probably never used them 😂

@@davewright9312 yeah I pretend to be a decorator and lie about the paints I use all I really do it paint sheds a fences all day with cheap paint.
you laying off oil based
No I'm laying off water based
@@PaintingandDecorating no sorry i meant your moving away from oil based more now
@@jackwardley3626 yes definitely, less smell, non yellowing makes your job quicker. You just have to compromise on certain aspects but generally it's a better option. Thanks 👍
@@PaintingandDecorating how did you find armstead quick dry satin after using it a few times
Completely agree with you regards bin not blocking knots. I think the bin formulation was changed a year or two back and it's not great these days.
