Purdy glide or sprig is best for all paints no splaying out on the tips like you have on pure bristle can get a reasonable line while cutting in with them also on waterbased gloss/satin
Looks good. Thanks for the video. Can you please explain why you used the Valspar water based gloss? I thought you preferred to use oil based to get a better finish. Thanks, Mark
My solution to working with water based gloss(Johnstones, Ben Moore Advance and Dulux quick dry so far) was to go and get a Wagner 3500 with a NAST head....
i think a water based paint got mush beter easy to apply faster to dry for professional and diy pepole and witch paint brush do you recommend for do it your self enjoyed the video.
Im a painter and have been using satin wood iv had this problem occur twice now using satin wood where the satin wood begins to dry patchy. I tried to troubleshoot the problem and all i could come up with was that maybe the acrylic undercoat ( yes i know your not supposed to use but never had this problem with gloss ) that it was sucking the shine out of the satin wood and the only other one waa that tin needed stirring better. Do you have any ideas?
Satinwood does not need an undercoat just key the previously painted surface and two coats. Make sure you stir it well and stir in between using it, careful on how much white spirit you use. When you sand make sure you prime any bare spots.
@@PaintingandDecorating ok thanks i knew satin wood didnt need the undercoat but the surfaces were really dirty and my boss was trying to save money on paint lol. So do you think it was due to the stirring?
Yes, possibly and if it was thinned too much and sometimes if you have just cleaned a brush out and white spirit is still in the stock. Some paints need stirring now and then during use.
Too many brush marks with pure bristle as you can see on the door,spend your money on good. Quality synthetics for water base paints,Purdy ect. On oil paints pure bristle all the way.although now there are some very good synthetics for oil,they’ve got that stiffness and spring that you need to pull the heavier oil paints Another tip for using water based trim paints is to add Owatral paint conditioner,keeps wet edge going for yonks,paint easier to spread,no brush marks,paint goes a lot further,an absolute brilliant item to have,in your van
Your synthetic brushes have not been cleaned and stored properly, no wonder they are unusable, I’ve had brushes for 10 years that are still in good shape with frequent use. NEVER used natural bristles for water based paint.
Like I said they are old synthetic... synthetic are okay but show them some real painting and start to bend out of shape. Not had one yet that does not do this eventually. Pure bristle more expensive to make than a plastic filament. Pure bristle came first back in roman times. People think synthetic are good and they can be up to a point. But will never be a real tradesmens go to brush... thanks
It’s true that synthetic brushes bend over time but I see it as an asset, the softer the brush the smoother the finish with less brush marks, and they come with different stiffness if that’s what you want. It’s like choosing a golf club and if one gets too soft or built up in the heel I just toss it in a bucket of water and clean at end of day, easy peasy. I’ve been doing a lot of enamel work these last 40 plus years and the few times I’ve used a natural bristle in latex I’ve been disappointed with the results. It sounds like you’ve had better results and I suspect there may be something you do that didn’t get shown in the video. I hope you have many more years of success in your efforts.
I’ve had that happen at times but not as a rule and it’s usually because it wasn’t cleaned properly and stored in its keeper until dry. I’ve had the same problem with natural bristles after using it in water. But as I said you have a technique that clearly works for you and a willingness to share it, I can appreciate that.

Thanks, the customer asked for water based.
@@PaintingandDecorating Thanks. Do you know why the customer wanted water based? Were they concerned about yellowing?
@@markrowland5393 Most likely VOC's Mark?
@popandu1170 Maybe VOC's or maybe yellowing of oil based.

Water- based has got better but still can not beat oil. Harrison or Hamilton is what we use.

Begins to dry i mean finishes patchy aswell not a solid finish semi shiny in some places and flat in others

Did you use pure bristles brushes with water based gloss ? Also was the original paint oil or water based and did you undercoat first ? Thanks
Yes used pure bristle and the gloss went onto a water based eggshell. It was clean so just keyed the surface.
What would have been your approach if the existing paint had been oil based and the customer requested the water based gloss
I would have undercoated them first with an acrylic undercoat.
Thanks, great videos and responses to questions
@@goolfer6483 thanks.
top noch work!
Thanks.
How much would you charge for doing a room that size mate?
sorry no prices.
What is the music at the end of the video, please?
Watercolors by John Deley
I definitely would say those are poor quality synthetics from the jump.purdy monarch pro extra’s are really good.
Should try.
Have tried a few different ones but pure bristle are the best. Will still use some synthetic for certain jobs.

@@georgeblumer1496 when I say bend I mean disform because they are plastic unlike pure bristle which are natural and keep their form.

Had to give up watching after you spent half the video waffling on about your duff paint brushes.
