Another great video. Wanting to spray GF Stain Blocker with Earlex 5500. Did you thin product at all? Instructions say it can be thinned up to 5%, and what size tip should I use? 1.5 or 2.0? Thank you for taking the time to answer🙂
I have bullseye 1.2.3 primer by zinsser can I use that to prime old oak chairs and a oak hutch that have both been scuff sanded? I’m painting the chairs black and the hutch white both using fusion mineral paint. Thanks!!!!
Kristina Sara yes that’s should be just fine, since your going black on the chairs there is little chance of any bleed through. For the White definitely prime that.
Hi! You said that you can sand after you prime, if you did that would you need to clean it again with krud kutter or could you just use canned air to remove the saw dust?
Melissa Lucas Hi. No need to use the krud kutter or any cleaner after priming, just fin sand (I like 320 or 400 grit) and then wipe with a microfiber cloth or yes you could blow it off! 😀
Great video! You said oil based primers you prefer to not spray because boys hard to clean the sprayer. But the BIN primer is shellac based, is that right?, so is that also very hard to clean out of the sprayer?
Liz Alford Thank you! Bin makes a water based primer - that is the one I was referring to, I don’t spray the shellac based primer to spray. They have several different primers
Hi, love your channel! I need your advise. I painted a dinning room set a off white using the Valspar furniture paint that you reviewed, it turn out really nice but, I want to paint it a nice brown. Do I need to sand again to repaint it? I all used a clear top coat as well. Thanks
K Gaither Hi! Thank you! So my advise , yes I always do when painting over other paint. You don’t need to sand all off, but I would lightly sand/scuff (not so hard that you break through the paint) enough that you are scuffing up the finish, so the next paint has something to grab on to. Then wipe the table down with Krud kutter to de-gloss even more. You should be good to go at that point! Thank you for watching!
I was gifted a huge knotty pine armoire that seems to have 1 or 2 coats of a satin varnish on it, it’s very yellow😏. My plan is to paint it white. My question is, what do you recommend prior to paint to make sure the knots don’t bleed through? Thanks in advance!😉
Have you ever used GF Milk Paint on a metal surface? I'm going to be painting a bed frame and have read some people use Ultra Grip, where others haven't had an adhesion problem painting directly onto metal. Tempted just to try it as the metal part of the frame won't really be visible. Thanks! Love your videos!
Thank you so much! I have and it depends on the metal - some are slicker than others, some are powder coated, etc. So I would do a test section like you are talking about and see how it adheres. I have had paint chip right off and I have had no issues just like you mention!
How do u know what kind of furniture u have. I just found a nice coffee table that I want to paint and I wish to paint it white. Thank you 4 your video's. New subscriber.☺
Thank you for subscribing! So figuring out what type of wood you have (cherry, mahogany, oak, etc.) can be mostly told by the color and the grain (If am not sure and I really want to know, I will google pics of like pieces to try and figure out). If your trying to determine if they are solid wood, wood veneer, manufactured wood, etc.- you can look for a table underneath to see if it looks like wood or pressboard, for dressers you can look behind the piece at the dresser top and see if its solid or if it looks like a thin line on top of pressboard or particleboard. If the pieces are solid wood, they will be solid all the way through and look like the same grain as on top of the piece. These things took me a while to figure out (just going on if the piece is heavy doesn't always mean its solid). :). After doing about 500 pieces, you just get to recognize the different materials and finishes. If your still unsure - you are more than welcome to email me a pic and I can try and help you figure it out - borninabarnboutique1@gmail.com
What did you do with your piece that has adhesion issues? I have a piece that I deglossed, primed, scuffed and it still has adhesion issues 😩 slightest bump and it chips off. I am so frustrated with it I had to walk away from it for a bit. How would you correct? Should I start all over? Would you sand an apply the ultra grip to the existing paint?
M Ray oh I was in the exact same boat! I wanted to cry. I walked away too and when I came back, I ended up having to sand the area I was having issues with (thankfully not the entire piece) just the trim, but it was a huge piece. I sanded it down to the bare wood, used a gripper/primer and then applied paint and no issues!
@@heyitssmray1585 You can give that a try! I just went for it and sanded to the bare wood so I didn't have to worry about it. But I have done what you are talking about and it worked just fine. It just depends on the piece that you are working with, as they are all different.

Thank you! 😀 I do thin a bit, I use the 2.0 mm tip! Your so welcome

So for pine knots I would suggest a shellac based primer - BIN makes a good one

Born in a Barn Boutique mine is a massive piece! Do you think just sanding down the current chalk paint and adding the gripper will work 😬
