No. A primer and an undercoat are two different things. First you prime a surface and then you apply an undercoat. An undercoat sticks very well to a primer and will act like velcro to the topcoat, improving adhesion. Some primers contain an undercoat, so you'll only need to apply one coat which is easier and you'll use less paint (so cheaper). It's best to speak to someone at your local paint shop. I don't know which country you're in - products vary from country to country.
First step is to buy the right glass thst suits the tiling bedding haha your around 200mm short. Do no drill a hole into the floor you just busted the water proofing. These guys have no idea
That was my first thought and it would be lovely. In fact I wanted to replace the whole box. But you can't get the box or the front panel. That's how it is with appliances these days, the new model comes in after 2 or 3 years and that's it for spares. It'd be difficult to get spares even for the newer models. Where are you from Zirosaur? Sound like a kid.
Im short of 70 i can rember do this work on steel windows in extremely cold weather. The putty was like a brick from the cold. You'd have to warm each handfull to soften between yiur hands...jasus we could hardly warm ourselves...i was 15 😊
Outstanding video, to all those whining about various aspects of the install not being covered, watch it on half speed a few times and have a practice on some scrap materials. The video has to assume you have at least some aptitude as it's a short video. Otherwise get a quote from a qualified fitter, have a good cry then go about your day.
Correct. So many incompetent DIYers giving it a go. 'Didn't mention protect edges of glass' etc. Not to the comment, to the people trying to warn- If you didn't know that, maybe don't handle large heavy panes of glass. Not faulting these people it's here to view and follow for anyone.
Hola Rory, ever considered a video of how to adjust a door hinge / lock because when you unlock the mortice lock it sticks badly which in our case there is misalignment between door and locking plate in frame. Thank you. Love your videos and they are South African, for our products and our people.
Yep. Using a sharp quality drill bit is essential. Once the holes are drilled and the screen is fitted it's unlikely that the the tiles will break. But if you're unsure get in a pro to do the installation.
Hi A very infromative video. Can I use the same application for my rotted cottage pane window? The wooden strip has just about come off just below the glass and putty which holds the glass in place. I will certainly use this app for my rotted door frame.
This man knows what he's doing, no BS acting going on here, it's a real world job with real life old windows. I've been there done that many times. I'd hire him in a minute !
Great video, you provide a lot of specifics. For this layman, would you mind telling me specifically what grain or tool do use for "basic sanding" after the initial scraping?
Wow wonderful information and I learned a lot. I wish I could paint the exterior of my house so that it look better brand new to save more money but I'm scared to paint the top when I'm up with the ladder.
No problem, you can hire a helper who knows how to paint and he/she can do the high sections and you can do the lower sections. Even pressure washing the house will make it look very good. Perhaps start off with pressure washing - wet all the walls with water using a hosepipe and let them sit for half an hour to loosen the dirt. Then pressure wash the walls to take off the dirt, just follow the instructions in the video. It's very easy and good fun if you don't mind getting wet. 😄 I'm sure you'll be well pleased with how good it looks. Good luck, Don.
that's how a professional does a job,I would probably use very long extensions to do the top of the house though,rather than risk being paralysed for life by using a really tall ladder!
Unfortunately you can't get into high corners or do edges with a long extension. You have to get up there. If you're afraid or not competent, It's probably best for you to employ someone who's able to do the job without hurting themselves.
@@donmorris3699 eh? i did my house,front and back in September 2008 and mid 2021.i used a brush as well,connected to two very long pieces of wood,by drilling a hole into the brush handle.i also used the small rollers for the corners.you have to work out the rollers a bit,first of all,when painting above a window so that it's not loaded with paint,to avoid paint splashing the window glass.keep a bucket of warm soapy water,clear water and a cloth on an extension pole to wipe away any window paint spills!good man good man!
