Can you add a link to the exact shellac product? I can’t seem to find it in your Amazon shop.
you are an absolute genius! Such a simple solution beats all of the complicated scrape and repair for surfaces! Love you!!!
This is amazing and has turned a major headache into a minor annoyance. Thank you so much for this tip.
I didn’t even look at the caulk it was something I had leftover and its a mess. So happy I found this video! Thank you
YOU NEVER FAIL ME! Exactly what I needed
This is literally saving my life right now. I just did a board and batten wall and for half of it I caulked with left over caulk from another project and I went to paint and the paint was going everywhere. I almost had a panic attack that all my hard work was ruined. Then I found this! Thank you!
Same thing I did...
Did it work?
What needs to happen is find the guy with the silicone and stuff the tube were the sun don’t shine painters paintable caulk is a far better product 🤠👍
Yes...
You don’t really need the caulk. It’s an unnecessary purchase. Just use the paint you already have and it’s done just as quickly.
would paintable caulk work between a bathroom vanity (with sink) and walls?
Thank God this works! I just used 3x tubes of Silicone and didn't realize that I couldn't paint over it until I read the back at clean up. Thanks again for the tip!
Just did this today. Works like a charm. Saved a bunch of time and major headache. Thank you!
LOVE this channel! That's a neat trick. Your videos help me out with my 100 year old farmhouse renovation. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers to the Mallard family!
Great tip! Please do more of the quick 2min videos showing handy little tricks. Thanks for sharing your knowledge mate.
this is the new format for Tuesday nights. quick little tips!
Sir you just saved me from such a headache . A HUGE Thank You.
We had to do this today and it worked 100%. Thank you!!!
Well, I must say that this is something I will certainly use in the future! I never ever thought of shellac primer for that. Thanks.
Works like a charm, fast clean and 5 minutes. Cheers!
Wow so smart Jeff! You have all these nifty tricks!
Saved my life. The most useful I've ever seen.
Thank you so much Jeff! I needed this! I love your videos, don't know what I would do with you!
Thank you so much!!! I ran into this problem yesterday🤓
I love the way explain things. Dont change a thing. You rock!!!! Love your style!!!
Thank you Austin. Cheers!
Did this today. Talk about a life saver!
Great tip! I've used kilz for everything under the moon, except this! Another home run for good old kilz. Thanks for sharing this trick!
Our pleasure. !
What about outdoors, I'm having trouble with that on my siding? Much appreciate the help.
Wow. I hope this works. Then I'll have no fears! Thank you thank you!
Like the video format, straight to the point. Don't stop making other kinds of videos too please. Always nice to see a new upload neighbor.
Thanks George, we are on a roll now!
So true with the silicone problem. Hey thanks for the brilliant tip you have there, I will be using it next time.
My pleasure. Cheers!
Jeff, thank you!
Very useful tip and straight to the point. 👍👍👍
Cheers!
Thank you so much! We were painting our bathrooms cabinets and it was just one spot that the paint would not cover. Like you said we kept painting it over and over, and it seem like the paint was running away from the spot. This video was very helpful.
Did you seal over the painted surface and paint again?
Wow, super handy tip! Now I can finally touch up the walls around the outside of our shower that look a little goofy where the caulk is. I need to paint the outside of our house this year too, and this will hopefully help cover up some of my shoddy caulking work around a couple windows where I rushed through too fast.
Nice. Cheers!
"Kilz" is NOT shellac-based- only BIN primer is shellac (or mix shellac finish yourself from fresh flakes and Everclear). I don't know about silicone, but shellac is absolutely the best product for permanent sealing of bleeding knots in soft wood (spot priming only for exterior)- it's also a beautiful finish for wood in many applications- non-toxic when dry and even during application if you mix yourself with Everclear drinking grade alcohol- super easy to patch- just rub damage with alcohol and re-apply.
Brilliant! My bathroom needs a repaint and the contractor used “non-paintable silicone caulking. I will get some of the wonder spray and get it done! Thanks for the tip🙏🏻
This is a more common problem than many people think. Now you will never have to worry about it again. Cheers!
I wonder if the Kilz shellac spray is adhering to the silicone or just floating on top with a still enough texture to support the paint. May not matter here, but for outside applications where water penetration is an issue, it might matter. Thoughts? Thanks for the video.
I wish I could like this a million times! Thank you for that tip, you saved my project.
Can’t say I have done any renovations before but your videos are entertaining all the Same like those reality TV shows but more useful keep it up 👍
Will do, Thanks!
I use KILZ on nearly everything I paint/. Years ago we had some frozen pipes in a house we owned. I was up all night trying to thaw out the pipes, but as morning happened I ha to go to work. So naturally when the sun hit that exterior wall, (uninsulated I found out later), the pipe thawed out and started running, and running ALL day. When I returned home that afternoon, I was greeted by warm water running out the front door. I opened the door to find the living room soaked. I saw water running down the stairs from the second floor, and started up the stairs, and got knocked down the stairs by an electrical short, through ME! I tried again and made it to the second floor, where I saw that the tub was overflowing onto the floor. WITH THE DRAIN OPEN! I thought that I had turned the water off, but being unfamiliar with the house, had left it turned on. We had only lived in the home for about 1 month. There was a total of $11,000.00 of water damage throughout the home. It turned out that this house had been a victim of several KNOW NOTHING DIY'rs. Anytime there is a big water leak, the wood will start showing stains as it dries out. The water stains will bleed out through just about ANYTHING you try to cover it with EXCEPT a shellac primer. KILZ, a great product, just have lots of ventilation!
Your channel is amazing. Thank you for all the education and tips. I just bought my first home and will be renovating this 60's house using your videos for a large chunk of the work. I have quite a few video requests and questions though :) . Any help would be much appreciated.
If you get the opportunity, can you please do videos on the following:
How to install a tankless gas water heater
How to install a drop tile ceiling the basement
How to run wires in-wall in a finished home ie. cat 6 network cables
How to install recessed led lighting
How to insulate an attic
How to vent an attic
How to epoxy a garage floor
Questions:
How and where do you clean your tools after the job is done ex. trowel and hawk - acetone? I have a septic system so I don't want to put any unnecessary particles or chemicals down the drain.
How do you remove the old grout after removing backsplash or tiled floors?
we will be getting to a lot of those items this year., Cheers!
Great tips. Thanks so much for sharing.
Great video and advise, thank you!
Geesum Jeff. I've been a professional home improvement contractor for years and years and I never knew how to paint over silicone. I do however use a shellac based primer to spray on water stains from 2nd floor leaks on a 1st floor ceiling in order to paint over them without any hassle. LOL, Now you know why I'm a member of your channel. Thanks for this tip brother, I can't wait to use it on a job. Be safe!
Glad to help Bob. Cheers!
Nice little trick. Thank you for the awesome video.
Cheers Ramon!
Thanks for the video. Any thoughts as to whether this or another product might cover Flex Seal Liquid? We used it to repair some concrete around the pool, as we were told it was paintable. It is not!
This is exactly the sort of thing I am looking for. How does it hold up over time, to moisture? Previous owners used clear silicon around the acrylic shower insert they installed, and I want to paint over the very bright blue paint they chose, but am concerned about some day down the road having my paint peel off the silicon and leave a blue border around my shower.
Another excellent tip. Thank you!
Thanks Red Yumi. Cheers!
What a great tip!!! Thank you
Thanks so much Jeff!!!
Will this work for exterior painting as well? I recently used silicone to stop a leaking windshield on my car. Now I want to paint the silicone to make it look better, and to resist UV damage. Any tips you might have are appreciated, Thanks!
We just started painting my room and we forgot about this silacone and this is very helpful!!
LIFESAVER!!!! THANK YOU!
Great tip. Thank you Sir. Captain Lou Albano!!
LOving it! Cheers my 80's wrestling fan. OOOHHHHH YEAHHHHH!!
I loved you! This really helps me!
Thank you!
Killz is a wonderful product, so many uses. The oil-based version is great at covering pet oopsies on sub-floors (under carpet pads), water stains on ceilings, or fire damaged wood (locks the stink away).
So Many uses ! Cheers!
Shellac works great for sealing knots! If anyone has tried painting over knots, they will soon realize that over time the knots will bleed through the paint. Priming the knots with Shellac first will prevent them from showing up in the future!
Cheers!
Hi! I have a question: years ago we put up sound dampening tiles in our studio at home. We took them down in order to move and are currently trying to clean up the old place. Silicone caulking (which was recommended at the time we put the tiles up as an adhesive!!) is the absolute worst thing so far about the renos so far. We have painters coming in to redo that room (which was a bedroom) but we have no idea how to get rid of the silicone- it's everywhere on most of 4 walls. While we've removed the bulk of it using old fashioned elbow grease but we can't seem to get the last layer off in most places. We tried a spot test just to see if the paint we were going to use might work, but anywhere we put it thick enough to cover the silicone it has bubbled up. Any ideas?? Would a Shellac primer allow us to mud over the silicone and then paint over that??
Thanks in advance!!
Didn’t know that. Thanks man. Great tip!
Always glad to help. Cheers!
Great tip. Needed this!
Will this trick hold up to the elements outside? I need to re-caulk some windows since the caulking has started cracking and I want to use silicone to make it last longer than typical paintable caulking... Also, thanks for the awesome videos!
Just thank you!
Thanks for the info.
I'm building a cat house and I mistakenly used 100%silicone to fill the gaps. I plan on painting it, and the stuff I used is not paintable. Will the exterior version of kilz work the same way it did for you in the video ?
You just saved me. You the man.
great tip i will use that the future
thank you!
I am sure we all will. Cheers!
Please read my question and reply sir! So can I use this spray over a (non-paintable) silicone caulk has been applied in a bathroom where GRANITE VANITY TOP meets DRYWALL? In other words, will this product work in the bathroom with granite vanity top where silicone has been applied to adhere to drywall? Thanks and I sure hope you reply with my answer!
Thank you!!!
We are renovating a late 1960's brick structure home ourselves. We are adding 2x4's to the interior (improve structure and more/better fiberglass insulation). before we add the framing we want to weatherproof the house. Is that a bad idea? Should we water proof the brick? should it stay breathable? calk holes before or after paint? We have future plans to paint the brick white unless that's a bad idea. will primer do all that we need instead of using a brick spray on sealant? live in a dry midwest climate, gets to 0 in the winter and mid 90's in summer. This might not be the best place for this comment :) Love your videos! Thanks!
Very, very helpful!
Wow, I used a non paintable caulk on our stairs, which are just the 2 by 12 joists. What a mistake 20 years ago. I have wanted to repaint them and have tried scraping and sanding that caulk off. Nothing worked! Miserable, looking at the white caulk coming through. I was naïve back then and didn't realize that some caulk was unpaintable. I can't wait to use this. By the way (I'm sure I can find it), but what is the actual product name? "Kilz Shellac primer" or something else. I tried to see the can when you held it up and it said Kilz Original. Just thought it would help others if they could see the label on the can. Thanks for the video, I can't wait to try it.
6 months ago our remodeller put in a new cultured marble bathroom vanity and used silicon caulk to fill in the gap between that and our newly-painted (with Benj. Moore pearl finish latex) wall. Now, the caulk is pulling from the walls, and looks awful! How do I get that off the walls and vanity without damaging the walls? Can I use your technique in my situation?
awesome tip!
Do you think this will apply for silicone cases? Im struggling to get my basecoats to stick for hydro dipping
Hi,
I have put black wood stain on my exterior fascia.I then filled in the gaps with Dow C60 low modulas silicone sealant.
I'm just a diyer I didn't realize I can't cover the silicone with more blaclk woodstain so it blends in.I've try looking using Google but didn't have much luck. Could you suggest any product that would work?
Thanks.
Thank you Jeff! I'm hoping all shellac type paints will work on silicone? Zinsser bin should do the trick, although it is pricy. I have the ugliest silicone situation in our wetroom bathroom, I'm hoping I can funk it up with some colour!
Did it work?🤔
I've definitely used silicone when I meant to use latex. I've made so many trips to the store to buy "caulk" and built up a small arsenal, so in my haste to not let it go to waste I picked the wrong one without realizing it. And now with paintable silicone, you have to read closely. BUT... The one time I used silicone by accident, I hit it with a hair dryer immediately after I painted on the paint. You can't have the hair dryer on it for too long though because it'll become tacky and stringy. So literally just for a "hot second." :-D. Then once that's good, the subsequent coats are easy.
Guilty!
I know this might sound like a dumb question but, do you have to paint acrylic caulking?
Thanks Jeff
You Know me, Always Glad to help. Cheers!
Ha ha fantastic....another tip you are adding into my knowledge and improving my house! Thank you! Hey Finally my basement is done!! I am proud of me..and I came over many times in your videos...thanks again!! From Illinois...Anna now a Handywoman...lol.
Hello Anna the handywoman, Cheers to you and getting that basement done. If you send us pics or video we could share on our Instagram account to help inspire other homeowners! Cheers!
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY of course. Let me upload my videos. And let you know.😀
I uploaded some videos. Now you can check ...thanks now.
Forgot to mention something....I am disabled! Please check my video Anna Fetzer @ATI. I am still in disability. Have not 100% function on my extremities. So that's why I am so excited.
Uh So simple. Thanks for that.
Excellent, thank you..
Thanks for commenting. Cheers!
Best DIY out there
Will trick bond as strong as an epoxy coating? I want to use an epoxy paint on my shower pan but not sure how to completely remove the silicone.
I love the work shellac 🤣
THANK YOU!!!!
Cheers happy to help!
Yes these silicone problems happen all the time in the house we do painting. We use Kilz or extreme bond primers .Nice video
Cheers !
What do you do if you have painted over silicone?? I wish I had seen this video before I painted my bathroom. It looks awful. Any tips on how to correct it? Thanks.
I am soon to be a first time home buyer and I was wondering if you considered doing a video on what tools someone like me might want to own?
We will actually be doing that video really soon. Cheers!
This rocks! Good learning for me. Looking into doing a kitchen reno for my parents and was interested in the cabinets you recommended in your reno video. The nimble line. Went to try to buy them and they don't make them no more. Any recommendations???
usually Ikea has the best value for your dollar, but you have to assemble them. Cheers!
Brilliant.
Great tip. Question on another problem I've encountered in a lot of old homes: what do you recommend for window/door framing that has had many really bad paint jobs, paint caked on? Do you try to salvage the wood with paint remover or start from scratch? My only concern is scratch would be potentially pricey to do all window trim and door framing.
depending on how old you could be dealing with lead paint as well. If you want a good finish then new trim is always your best option. but diy paint removal is relatively inexpensive, just super labor intensive.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY ya I've finished a few hardwood floors that had portions painted brown and used the paint remover and it's not fun nor does it seem to work as well with certain types of old paint for whatever reason.
Does brushed shellac work just as well? Or does it have to be spray?
Great tip as always
Cheers Kevin!
Home RenoVision DIY
Thanks partner
Master's back at it!!!
Yup. Can't stop us now!
I didn't know you could do this!
Will the cured paint stay on if you had to later wash it by rubbing it with with a damp rag?
Love this one.
glad to hear! Cheers!
That was a great tip. How do you reseal a shower door surround that already has been violated and has a slow leak even
after removing, sanding and re-caulking. I know silicone won't stick to silicone but your tip here seems to suggest a way to RE-Silicone an existing
"anything" i.e. Vents/windows/counters etc. I have gotten away from Silicone using a hi quality paintable caulk but I did not do the original caulking hence the silicone
Unfortunately in that case you need to cut out the old and then start all over. Cheers!
Yeah you're right the paint covers really well over the oil
Glad to hear that you took the time to check. Cheers! truth is flat poil is a great primer especially for outdoors. too bad the products are not as available anymore.
@@HomeRenoVisionDIY yeah oil and bin bullseye zinzer alcohol primer works well. Thanks for the tips master remodeler
I just read on the can that you have to topcoat with oil based or latex paint. Which I dont have. The rest of the room is water based. What do I do?
awesome, thanks
Always glad to help. Cheers!
Hello Jeff (and crew) thank you for sharing this. I have a similar situation and want to make sure KILZ will work. I recently built my first DIY project, a breakfast nook. Unfortunately, I was no advised on the differences between wood caulk and wood filler. I used wood caulk to fill in all the screw holes and smooth out all the knots in the wood. After realizing the mistake, I was able to remove the caulk from the deeper holes and knots however, I spread it around quite liberally. Using a heat gun it is possible to heat it up and then scrub/rub/wipe it off however, it appears to be harming the wood slightly. The wood is pine and eventually, want to paint it all pure white. Will KILZ work to prime over the caulk on the pine seating and seat back such that I can apply pure white chalk paint or milk paint and then a satin top coat without the caulked areas looking weird?
I have a similar problem
A friend offer to help and did a poor job at caulking my white base boards how can I fix it. HELP PLEASE!!!
I had a contractor use silicone in a drywall ceiling/wall joint instead of taping. Can I mud and tape over it? There isn’t really anything to pull out or scrap.. how do I fix this? If I tape and mud it will it fall down?
I have caulking against trim and drywall, and a one inch flat line that is causing my paint to come right off. it is clear and i never even saw it. Seems this would work
Pretty awesome
Dude! Thanks!
