Bottom shelf just creates a mouse utopia. The floor serves as an adequate bottom shelf for things immune to moisture damage (plastic bins) and a superior "shelf" for extra heavy items.. Also, if 2nd from top shelf is placed at 38-44 inches, (depending on user height) it serves dual purpose as a stand up work bench. Equal distance between shelves is not necessary.
@@dreamingcode Substantive, well considered, useful feedback can be worth tens of thousands in consulting fees and open new doors. (Full repost would include FMEA, Pugh, Kano, QFD, TGW analyses and DF6S report.). By contrast, each instance of the ubiquitous, effusive, typical fawning praise, while gratifying, adds infinitesimally to the algorithm.
Thank you for demo & useful info, had to trawl through 6 other creators before I came across this video to see what it looks like, how to use, pros & cons and not watch the back of the tin being read out loud 😂
Does a paint primer also work as a sealer? I am now at the "too late" fase, where i took down the wallpaper and have now raw drywall, not skimmed, from the previous renters. What should i do?
Hi I did a jointing compound skim followed by a mist coat. I have then done 3 coats of a dark coloured clay paint. This is how I have handled gypsum skim coats before and its worked.... However, I have found quite a big difference in the colour of the cutting in paint to the roller paint (not every wall evertime) so much so that I bought more of the top coat (£££) and went again. If anything it is now worse. I am wondering if its not priming? Can I now prime with gardz over the top of the paint, and then simply paint again?
Im about to paint my walls soon( New Build) pretty sure it's just magnolia paint straight onto plasterboarding. Will sand down walls. But still afraid oll pant with peal off when rolling new paint. Will this product help stop that? Thanks.
Hey 👋🏻 Yes, definitely. If it’s a new build then it’s probably been painted with a cheap contract Matt and this stuff will seal that in a give you a great surface for paper or paint 🙌🏼
Finally, someone who gets it. I am 100% a "seal your drywall" guy, and it's refreshing to hear someone who understands the materials we are working with. For all of you DIY folks out there lost in a sea of amateur/bad advice, _listen to this woman_ , she is spot on.
So pleased I found your channel. I am a total DIY newbie and find some other DIY channels intimidating. You are so personable and informative. New follower!
Might i suggest the old school alternative that seems to be more bulletproof. Unwaxed shellac to seal the wall, then prime the unwaxed shellac with oil based primer. The oil primer gives off a lot of odor while it dries but let me tell you nothing will get through that shellac layer.
Great video. What happens if you pull back the wall paper lining and you see plaster and mis coat. Ie patches of both. Can you apply this all over to prime ahead a repainting?
Looks great! I would consider swapping those fluorescent lights out for LEDs since you're storing stuff on that top shelf right next to them. I know I would accidentally break one at some point.
I’ve recently started decorating a place I moved into and the walls were coming out in many many bubbles. So thats because who ever painted the place when it was built didn’t seal the plasterboards?
@@lousworkshop I’ve now stripped back to the plasterboard and sealed it with a mist coat. I was having a nightmare with it so hopefully this will fix it now.
