Paint your house super fast! This is for home owners who won't be using an airless, but using a brush. There are so many homeowners that have houses clad in some type of 'weather board'. Be it, hardy plank, western red cedar, compressed cladding of sorts, and at some stage it all needs painting.
Some of the gear I use and recommend below, just click on, Show more.
Just some of the gear I use:
Although I've used about every brand of brush on the planet, Purdy brushes would be my favourite brushes. They hold plenty of paint and are excellent for cutting in. These are top end brushes.
Some of the brushes I recommend;
Wall brush: amzn.to/2CsF2H1
Trim brush: amzn.to/2YMMeFe
Paint drops (covering) that actually work;
A good room size, 9' X 12': amzn.to/3dkuZR4
For the larger rooms, 12' X 15': amzn.to/3el9twV
What we call a, hall runner, 4' X 12' these come in real handy: amzn.to/2Z0cxrY
Always use lambs wool roller sleeves. Holds paint and very little splatter:
Nine inch, 1/2 inch nap: amzn.to/37Oy0Io
9 inch roller from for your sleeve: amzn.to/2YSzOfl
Dont forget an adjustable extension pole. The one below is a very good all rounder for the diy, extends from 4' to 8': amzn.to/3efKs6d

I have been a painter for over 30 years now. My experience is from 4 generations of painters. It is so nice to see someone making a video with real brushing tips and old school skills that can truly be helpful to the d.i.y.er. Good job bud.
Clean it up eastwest or you're through with responding on this channel
You are just rude. Didn't your mother ever teach you any manners? I bet your work is about like your language, filthy and unprofessional. You should be ashamed of yourself.
dellfozzio pintura I am the best brush man in the Midwest and I do not paint like this at all. you can tell a real painter if he shows up and some painters whites with paint on them. I've painted with multiple companies commercial industrial mansions New res Renovations, I've done it all. Do not follow tips on any of these people, just hire a real painter!!
312eastwest I agree, a lot of times you don't have to back for all the exteriors but plastic off the windows and back off lights and go to town with a sprayer and some Shields!! these people don't know what the hell they're doing on RUclips!!
Mike Beck sry guys , spraying is awesome if it's an option. I was only commenting on this guy's brushing techs. You can tell he has some skills and not just some wannabe like alot of videos I see, but yeah, mask and spray if possible. Just make sure it's prepped properly people.
I like your energy and way of teaching. Seem like a great guy, thank you for the video!
I have been a painter for 7 years (read: 30yrs) and I agree, these tips are great! I would add an extension stick for lighter handling, especially when rolling the paint.
Excellent video. Flawless techniques. Thanks for the video. I enjoy exterior brush & roller painting, and really enjoy doing the stuff most people hate: louver shutters, multi-panel doors, lap siding. With the right techniques, even the most reluctant and uninitiated of DIYers can enjoy it too!
+doobysnacks LOL, you're right though mate, a little help with knowledge (tips and tricks) any DIYer will improve their skill set almost instantaneously.
Thanks enjoyed watching and useful tipping I painted my house asbestos shingled make twenty years ago is looking shabby now indeed did not have your tips about loading roller! THANKS great video!!
Gotcha! Keep up the good work friend - very good video your sharing with those who need the encouragement along the way. Mega Blessings!
Thank you so much!!
We used your technique and myself and wife was able to paint our two bedroom cottage in two days (outside painting and trimming and deck on both sides. Our landlord couldn’t believe how fast we got it done!!
Mahalo!!!
Good stuff, nice effort. This is exactly why I create diy painting videos. To help others. Thanks for commenting. :)
Flawless technique here. I'm a pretty lousy painter myself, with about two years experience but I've popped onto this video more than once to steal little tips and tricks. Really good painters all seem to handle the brush differently than your average painter. It looks as though the brush is the softest, most plush thing around and like it's practically painting itself. You're making it look easier than it is, for sure.
I agree with your observation on how the brush looks. I've finally gotten very proficient with one myself, and the key is what this guy keeps repeating, which is to keep plenty of paint on your brush. If it's getting streaky and requiring you to brush it back and forth or use a lot of pressure, the brush is too dry. Most people put too thin a coat on, as well.
My uncle lived at the shore where house needed repainting every 5 years or so. Use to prepare and paint
one side of house each year -- one weekend to prepare (scape, repair or replace wood etc...) and second weekend
for painting. House always looked great and task per year manageable.
Use a roller paint stick/power roller to cut time in half from video suggestions
I actually use this technique when painting my Soffits and Fascia Good tips
Great video mate thank you. I am in the process of buying a house which needs a lot of work and this will be one of my reference videos for DIY work. Much appreciated.
Ambrew, happy it helps. All the best on your painting projects. 👌
Obviously you are a pro - a pleasure to watch and learn. Thank you.
I learned lots. Never thought of a roller. Thanks.
I like this technique, first time saver that I've seen that didn't involve an airless paint sprayer.
Thank you! This is how it get done! We are thankful for paint sprayers
Thanks a million for your tips. This is awesome. Your tips turned a week long chore into a two day task. Laying it on with a roller and then working it in with a brush is a revelation. I did 8 inch lap siding 3 boards at a time and came to dread the the parts where I had to dip to cut in! By the time that I finished I found my self rolling on the paint on extra heavy around the obstacles and then "catching it" with a brush before it could drip. I also found that I could lay on heavy enough that I only had to do one coat on the entire house. Again AMAZING tips, you changed my life !
LOL, "Changed my life!" That's a new accolade for me. :) Thanks You've obviously got a knack for painting by the way you describe your actions. Although, being your project is exterior, I would probably go the extra mile and apply the second coat. Always better to do 2 coats on exteriors (even in 1 coat covers) And get this, the second coat goes on even faster.
All the best mate
charredskeleton after seeing this, I cannot wait to paint my house, even though it doesn’t need painting. M🤓
Thank you for the great tips. I'm starting to paint my house this week. BRAVO
Very careful while you r on top of ladders mate....
thank you! spent ages with a brush yesterday and knew there had to be a faster way to get this house done and there is. you are the best!
Glad I could help!
Thank you!! Very helpful as I am about to embark on painting our house!
Awesome, thanks so much for passing on your expertise in this thorough video
No worries, my pleasure :)
Also wanted to thank you. I'm 71 years old and am inspired to paint my house one side at a time. This will help.

Younger Guys like me could only dream of being like you!
I’m 76 and just bought a brick house with a lot of wood trim. My son and I will be painting that soon. Good tips.
@@bettye444 It took a fair amount of time to scrape the old paint off the wood trim. Painting went faster for myself. I did this all before the first snow. I work on the sun side wall if temp gets to say 60. Maybe done till spring.
Glad I came across this vid. I’m taking on that task in up coming weeks. I’ll take all the pointers I can get, ha. Yep I sub’d.✌🏻
Great video ,thanks a bunch.Now I can pass it on to my people.Many thanks..Pros are the best!!!!!
Nice tips mate. I'm about to undertake painting my house so glad I watched this.
Good job there. I do it almost the same way, all depends on conditions like you said.
Mr. Invincible painter,
You're killing us as painters giving away our techniques lol. I love watching other painters with their style of our craft. Idk my father taught me to paint 20 +years ago and it was like deja vu watching this.... The only thing you left out was always brush back from dry to wet ESPECIALLY with paints or stains that have a gloss.... I'm newer school.... Was taught on a brush but I'm pretty crafty with a sprayer lol we "all like to save money" as you put it lol... In glad you show homeowners "weekend warriors" what's entailed in painting. I believe they'll realize theirs a lot more than what the eye sees, and they'll learn that once they dip into the first gallon... Once again thanks for the video. Myers Painting Too

I'm painting the exterior of my house within the next couple weeks and definitely learned a bunch watching this video and appreciate the tips! Thanks!! 👍🏼👍🏼🏡
No worries mate, glad you got some things from it. What it's all about. :)
If you learned from this video then you probably have never painted, everyone paints this way, I thought he was going to show something with a spray gun or combination with roller etc
I usually paint this way but my wife decided to hire someone because I was going to take too long, he used a spray gun, he scraped and sanded and replaced boards upgraded windows, but I am not happy with the outcome, I still see the old paint lines or nail holes, he put two layers only and said that is good enough does not need more layers but I am used to putting lots of paint. I don't know what to do.
He did a horrible prep, it seems? Should of filled nail holes. A good prep real makes the difference.
Learnt a lot from a true professional thank you for making this don't know why when people take the time to share there experience some guys don't respect it thanks again from Ireland
Thanks a heap mate. And yea, I don't get why some people have to complain, their issues I reckon. As for the Irish, I married one! :) Happy painting Kenneth.
Thank you. Very helpful, and given freely.
Thanks for commenting. :)
Thanks for the tips sir. You have a lot of wisdom
Thomas Komosinski yea, I picked up a thing or two all those decades I painted. Thanks mate, 👌
I independently developed this technique while painting my home. Great video and information to share - wish it was around fifteen years ago when I started LOL!
You pointed out doing small sections because of windy conditions and never in direct sun, maintaining a wet edge - all important points.
The reason beginners should understand is the speed of drying is increased in these situations and your paint will drag on the brush and lap marks will leave a blocky pattern.
Thanks for sharing you expertise!
UncleBman Good onya, and well done.
I have been a 'DIYer' for years and swear that I will never paint again at the end of every project. So here I am about to paint the exterior of the house. Thanks for the tips , I will be trying them tomorrow
Use a paint pad and skip the cut ins.
@@crand20033 Can you explain more developed, PLEASE!?
@@valentinasoubbotina2936Go to home depot and ask for a paint pad. You can paint and there is no cut ins required. Don't even need to tape.
@@crand20033, Thank you very much DAVID!
I have seen new homes and they were sprayed. Looked really bad. Builder refused to repaint. The start and stop marks really stood out. That was my biggest fear before i began to paint my home. I figured these guys are professionals. All they do is paint houses and this is what they are producing. So that stopped me from spraying even though i had already bought a sprayer.
Watched countless videos, but you had the most real life value and content.
I have finally finished painting my home and it turned out being a professional job. So I returned to say, thank you. You were God sent and at the right time. I will say to anyone looking to paint your home, you can do it. HOWEVER, he makes it look easy and it's not. Its' A LOT of hard work. I mean....a lot.
Tip: maybe you should set up a donation page or something. I'm sure people would donate because of the money they saved.
Great job and very informative!!
Not bad. I have been painting since... 1987 omg.....I would have done a couple of minor things different but regardless, this video is professional and to the point. Many on youtube aren't. The key here is less dipping. The point is, use lot's of paint, It's that simple. We don't get paid for dipping, we get paid for applying.
+Frank Atwood It's what got me into making videos. I watched some how to's on painting years ago and said to myself,"I can do better than that". Also the information was sooooooo bad. Not just bad but completely wrong information. The hardest part for me was making the actual video! Happy the professional part comes through. :) Thanks Frank
Excellent video. Thank you!
Loretta Sophia You’re welcome. 😊
Subscribing! I will be painting my own house SOON! I simply cannot afford to have a pro do it...After watching these videos I feel pretty confident. I have already painted my interior and it looks great, but the outside poses different challenges. Some say here that spraying is a better method, but in the hands of a DIY'er like me, most simply don't possess those skills! The thought of all that masking makes me cringe...Besides, I plan to take my time and enjoy the process. I love my house and will take great pride in painting it! Thanks for the great instruction.
Hi Michelle, as a diy, you to have that luxury of taking your time. And when it comes to spraying, you're spot on, diy's don't have the skills for spraying and do more harm than good.. Paint literally gets everywhere. I've seen a lot of damage done, and by so called professional painters. It's not for everyone. Good luck with your paint project and happy painting. :)
Thanks for your reply! find these videos extremely helpful! I will keep your videos on standby while I do this.
Seems insane for a person to spray (and backroll) when they can do it like this. So much simpler, so much less cleanup--particularly if you wrap the roller cover.
I like the video...I have a lot of weatherboard cladding to paint and it didnt occur to me to use a roller as well as a brush. After seeing it done I can better appreciate it covers well overall and speeds up the application to the long flat areas. Thank you.
Good onya Joeman, it does exactly that. Good luck and glad you like the video. :) Thanks
Good channel . Subscribed !
Thanks for taking time to help a novice do it yourselfer.
No worries Jerry, always liked to help. 😊
Thank you for helping us the DIY community.😊👍
Any time!
Very good. Thanks.
Just want to say, I think your tips are great, your presentation is comfortable, your knowledge is helpful to me, and I appreciate the time you have taken out of your personal time to do this for us diy'ers at no expense to us. I am shocked that anyone would have a negative comment and you should just ignore them because, although I am not a total nubie, I still learn from you tips and as someone from the audience you are aiming for, you are doing a valuable job that I appreciate. Anyone who says different is just wrong. I know because I am one of those "normal" people. OK, I'm not really all that normal. Just forget that part.
Thanks Belle Michelle, I appreciate the nice comments. And yea, there seems to always be some degenerate around wanting to tear you down. I don't know why, just some issues they have within their selves I guess. No matter, I've been around long enough and these days I simply block them from commenting, no arguments, no wasting time, just gone. :) Again, thanks for recognizing the work that goes into my videos. All the best
Great Video!
Thanks!
Thanks Mate!
thank for sharing .. I like that good ideas
Thanks so much for those great tips. - I am now a subscriber!!!!!
Thank you Mar immi. And thanks for subscribing. Share to your friends that may need some tips and tricks! :)
I spray painted my cape-style wooden-shake house approx 15 years ago. Watched some videos and bought an inexpensive sprayer with a small tank. Yes, I spent a bunch of time refilling the tank. I did a great job controlling overspray with a sheet of cardboard blocking as I was spraying. I was a brazen 40-something woman. It was a learning experience. Fast forward to my late 50’s, I’m in the process of prepping to repaint before winter sets in. This time I’m going to roll/brush. I’m not sure if it’ll take more or less time. I suspect that it’ll take less paint. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Im hoping the small edge from each row is covered with paint from the edge of the roller and doesn’t require picky touch up.
I am a competent DIYer of lots of big projects. Thanks for the little roller-loading tip!
At the end of the day, as long as it gets done. :)
We sprayed probably 98 percent of the houses we painted for clients, but made this for those not wanting to use a sprayer. It really speeds up the process, but not near as quick as spraying. Happy painting :)
I’ve read conflicting text about the staying power of sprayed vs brushed on paint. It appeared from my house that the peaks that were rolled on held up better than more of the rest of the house that I sprayed. Surely the prep plays a part as well as the direction (N/S/E/W) it’s facing. I guess an airless painter also differs from the less expensive sprayers. Dunno? Just wish I had timed myself and tracked the number of paint gallons used the last time I painted the house. Thanks again for the video and the reply.
I worked with an old painter and he always had the biggest brush loaded to the max with paint. When you work by the hour attention to detail is critical.. when you work by the job redbull gives you wings.
LOL, I don't need redbull Dan, I'm already an angel. :) Thanks mate
great stuff. very practical!
You missed a spot ha ha no really a great teaching thanks
Love this - you're the man!
💥 Thanks for your time sharing this. It looks pretty simple rolling and brushing standing on the ground but show this on a ladder hitting the second story.
I have a video showing just that. We used to paint 3 story's in San Francisco using 40 ft ladders. :)
Peace be to sir! Thank you so much for this! I don't have the money to have my home professionally painted. I'm a DIY er and a newbie. This information will help tremendously! I just subscribed to your channel! Peace! Dr.O the PA Pro 🤓
LOl, no worries mate. take your time, watch the videos and enjoy! :)
I have 4 inch clap board. Not sure I can use a big roller because of the angle. But even a small roller would speed thing up. Thanks for the tip.
Firstly: That is brilliant. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Secondly: I reckon I can speed you up. Don't cut in first. Lay that paint on and then cut in using it. What do you reckon?
Also, wet edge: You could roll that roller vertically. You'd get a ton of paint on and more in the groove, can lay off really fast back to where you came from.
I'm doing windows this year and cladding next: this makes a huge difference.
10 points for thinking Bridget, but sorry, no go. The reason I cut in first is so I can start to lay off as soon as I'm finished with the roller. If the paint starts to set (and it will on a warm sunny day) before you can start laying off (because now you are cutting in) your in for a whole set of trouble. If you have plenty of drying time, it would work. My day was very warm and windy. All the best
I thought he was gunna whip out a sprayer and finish it all in 5 minutes. lol
Read the first line in the description.
tigeroll yessssssss exactly - 99% faster🙄😳😳😳😳dudes killing me
Fantastic!
This is exactly why I watch youtube. Just brilliant stuff, thanks so much. One idea that came to mind is how much faster again this might be if I used one of those pre-loaded rollers where the handle can be filled with paint? May even be able to wrap with cling film between sessions to minimise cleaning. Thanks again for sharing.
Yea, so much on YOuTube it's not funny. :) Happy you found it useful. And a quick mention on your idea of using the pre-loaded roller? Give it a miss, just a diy gimmick.
I love his technic for rolling with enough paint to do the siding lower edges with the back brush. I will incorporate that in my huge project as soon as it is warm enough. I have used the paint stick with the paint in the handle. It's basically a huge syringe. I have only used it for interior so far. He calls it a diy gimmick like that is a bad thing. I am a very good diy guy. This is a device that has made interior painting fun for me. I hate loading the roller though I have used deep pro quality pans. The bucket with roller grid looks better.
Back to the project. I intend to use a power roller (with a pump line from the bucket), a roller as mentioned here, or a sprayer to get the paint on the wall quickly and evenly. Then back brush as he shows to work the paint into all corners and crevices.
2 points that are the only real problem I have found with these type for interior is the expensive flow thru roller covers and that they are really hard to clean. If you can afford to use them for one long day then replace rather than clean them you will be happier. The trick of loading the roller than wrapping it in plastic wrap when you take more than a very quick bio-break it a great way to go.
If you do the big syringe type spend the money for the ratcheting squeeze handle. You have much better control than the push plunger type.
Any input for choice of powered roller verses ratcheting syringe type verses a sprayer for paint loading the wall would be appreciated.
Simple extended pole cuts down on your ladder work, roll a heavy coat of paint , then back brush and cut in at the same time , can do a lot from the ground with 1 roller pole 1 brush holder pole.
Please do a video on painting a garage door. Thanks!
Great video. The techniques are awesome but he also knows how make a video fly
Awesome. Thank you. I will give that a go. :)
+Helms from Victoria Australia All the best and good luck. Happy painting. :)
Where do I get this cool invisible paint?!
That was pretty good!
Great teachin. Thx so!
I just love work, I can sit and watch it all day:-)
If you get off your ass and paint you might save some money.
If you love it, it's never ever "work"!
Yes, it's all very good. I have to say, with the Deepest respect, it's so much like how my dad taught me as a kid of 12.
But... We never used the roller. Hahaha. Ty
excellent, thanks
You are Awesome!👍
LOL, don't know about awesome, just a guy who knows his trade. :) Thanks
Marlon Brown so are you.
Looks fabulous groovy, mop that paint in!
The slow part of painting the entire exterior of a house by yourself is the prep work. The painting part is smooth sailing.
SGspecial84 Yea mate, I’ll pay that one. And it’s the biggest reason so many do a crap job of it or give it a complete miss. Seen it a thousand times over. 👍 thanks for commenting 😀
That was very good mate, good on ya.
Thanks Jaime, glad you liked it. :)
I rehab mobile homes. I like to paint on days where the air is not real dry. that way the paint doesn't dry too fast. My mom nails a few holes along the top of the can where the lid seats so paint can drip through and not well up and stick in there. My lumbar 5 is effed up but painting actually seems to be a good back exercise.
Without masking anything, cutting in and moving the brush that fast was impressive.
LOL, i had a lot of years slappin a brush around. :) Thanks for commenting.
thanks for sharing this!! ..
Craig List you’re welcome 👍
Fantastic, thanks so much!!
You're very welcome!
Nice job and good tips.
Thanks for the kind words Jim, and thanks for commenting. :)
Great tip, Rick. I'm sharing this video with my wife (the painter in the family) so she can subscribe and LEARN from all your videos.
😂😂😂 my wife would throw the paint at me 😳
Sir, thank you SO MUCH I discovered this after 4 hrs of hand painting with the brush 😢
Really helpful! Thanks
No worries, glad I could be of help.
You said it right 90 percent of non professional painters cannot figure out how to keep a wet edge. I've even seen many professional painters who have a hard time keeping a wet edge. To make it look good you must not brush into semi dry paint.
I was waiting for you to say, 100 times faster just throw the whole gallon of paint on the house to save time from having to dip your roller in the 5 gallon bucket 😂 J/K. Great video!
LOL, another video for another time mate. When I have the time to clean up the mess! :) Thanks for your comment.
Thank you so much
You're welcome. Glad I could help. :)
I would like to start this comment by saying I really enjoyed this video I’ve been in the painting trade for 10 years. And Your project came out good. old school I see, busting the good ol brush. but even if I wasn’t a pro painter I would’ve rented a small airless sprayer.
Edgar Velazquez This was for diy’s that use a brush. I used an airless 98% of the time, when I was in the trade.
i have standard hardi-plank running horizontal. the fastest method for me was to use a quality 3/4" nap and load it well with paint. i rolled up and down. 1/2" or 3/8" were no good. with 3/4" i could easily push a bunch of paint into the overhang gaps. sure there was some excess paint released each time i rolled over an overhang, but the roller would eventually pick up the excess once it released enough paint. i only had to brush around windows and door trim. i used sherwin williams best and only one coat. it has been 3 years and the paint has not faded nor has it bubbled or chipped off anywhere. we have 100F summers and 0F winters. I even painted the visible cement foundation with the same stuff and it has remained perfect, as well! the old paint was chalky to the touch, so in prep i used a stiff broom w/ 18ft extension, chlorine and dish soap from a small backpack sprayer, and scrubbed the siding good before powerwashing afterward. i was going to hire out the job, but the half dozen contractors who came on site were lazy asses, so i did it myself. i rarely contract anything anymore, because everyone else sucks.
thanks for the video.. much appreciated. I've got an old cabin to paint. This will go a long way in helping me. One thing.. you mentioned a video clip about how to load a roller at the 11.15 mark but there's no link that I could find. If you see this and have the link I'd love to see it. Cheers!
I'ts an old one but should do the trick :) ruclips.net/video/xdb9fslQCB0/видео.html
Paint sticks are great too, no re-dipping
Use a quality 4in brush for painting exterior siding, and setting up 2 ladders and running a plank gives you a lot more room to move
+Painting Palm Beach Yep, it sure does. :)
Hey Rick I paint for myself in Kansas and do it exactly like you do. Sometimes I will use a paint sprayer if there is a large section of the house without to many windows, doors, cars or neighbors houses due to overspray issues and lawsuits!...........Also in Kansas its usually windy most days.
I always roll and back brush horizontal siding as you do. To many so called painters love a sprayer and I am one that doesn't. They have their place and time but overspray issues are to costly. And I"ve seen to many bad paint jobs with sprayers when the operator does not know how to use them correctly.
On vertical siding I usually just roll up and down to the soffit line to bottom of siding and do not need to back brush. Keep in mind this is for the rougher wood grain finish type siding. If its real smooth than I use a sprayer or if rolling I back brush it due to stippling of a real smooth surface from the roller.
Any way great video!!!
Hey Shama, you obviously have experience just by the way you describe things. As for airless, you are spot on, way too many cowboys in that arena that have no idea. Long story short, I don't show any spraying on my channel as it's mainly for Diyers or outright beginners. We sprayed everyday, int/ext for decades when I lived in the states. 2 or 3 years ago I got on RUclips and thought to look at what was being presented in the paint game. I was shocked! So much rubbish by so many with little experience or just had no idea and passing it off as they know what they are doing. So I decided to get some real information out to those that where looking for it. I know, I need some more work in the filming and audio department! LOL
Does this work on shingles ? My roof has cracks and is in need of a good painting.
My house is just like this video and I was going to paint it today when I ran across this video. Great video and this is going to save me hours. Thanks for making this video for all of us do-it-yourselfers.
Karl Dittman, love hearing comments like this. It’s all about helping others, have fun painting. 👍
Hey man you saved me lots of time ty
Great stuff! :)
Also do we have to do two coats? If the paint covers is there a reason we have to do two coats? Like because of lasting longer? And I was wondering how do people do the porches as far as do I paint my porch ceiling same color as banister or the color of my house siding?
Also get a pole for your roller. Roll up and down, then finish with your brush. It will save your back and arms
Lol dude. No. I'm laughing over here. Have you really tried that on an exterior? What a god damn disaster. No wonder this guy switched to making lasagnas; it's hopeless.
@@mackhomie6 lol. Do you still hear this guy tell you you put on to much paint in your head?
@@mcarpenter1948 er, sorry?
@@mackhomie6 in another comment on this video, 2 years ago, you wrote something like "I still hear this guy say I put to much paint on in that subtle voice".
I seen this comment we are replying to now of yours at 10 months, so You came back to watch and I wanted to see if you still hear him.
Please be smart, I hope we understand each other.
@@mcarpenter1948 I understand now that you reminded me of the comment. lol, "in a sense, it's almost _too much_ paint.". yep. everytime I overdo it and try to put too much on the brush or roll it on way too thick, I find myself muttering under my breath "...almost too much" aha, funny you'd ask.
Good info!
I use to work for a panting company. You're 100% right about you want to tap the brush on both sides and not wipe it on the edges. 90% of people who don't know how to paint do that and then look at me like i'm nuts when I tap my brush on 2 sides fast.
Matty Natural Horsemanship I rarely even tap, just a flick actually, but the tap is a great habit to form for a diy, soooo much faster if they can force themselves to do it. Hard to break bad habits. Thanks for posting 👍
What does the tapping of yr brush on side of pail actually do? Is it so paint doesn’t drip and brush is better loaded than wiping it half off on the side of the paint can?
Love it
Bob Ross of house painting.
Good movie. You must have patience when painting, it is nice when you finish the job and stand back and admire your own work and drinking a cold beer.
Do you know if special shaped rollers are available if you don't have flat weatherboards like that?
