I’ve got to say. This really was not that informative. Sadly. Love the videos but this was not detailed at all. Also conflicts past videos you all have shown for cleaning brushes.
Why do they still make these terrible 1-gallon metal cans that rust and are impossible to pour out of neatly? What ever happened to Dutch Boy's plastic containers that had a pouring spout - as it should?
I love Mauro Accent. He is not a native English speaker, but you can tell he spent time in the north east especially new England. He adopted what appears to be a Boston accent, and I just think it's amazing.
YES - and this is why Disneyland uses oil-based paint everywhere in the park - even though in that state it's illegal to sell or commercially apply oil-based paints.
Cleaning brushes or rollers is a waste of time and doesn't work half the time. Just use a 5 gallon bucket with a lid to store brushes and rollers on multiple day painting jobs, then toss the brushes and rollers when done. The only time cleaning a brush makes sense is on a small touch up job. You can also store brushes in used gallon paint cans.
@@aservant2287 A New $6 brush works better than an old stiff $17 Brush. You do know, Ask This Old House is meant for Homeowners, not for Pros or people with painting fetishes?
@@teeing9355 it doesn't matter if you a homeowner or a painter to put dirty brushes in a bucket to let set would destroy to brushes not to mention the smell of the musty water. The paint on the top of the brushes in the bucket would never touch water to keep them wet so they'll harden in a day or so. When you go to use again the only part that is flexible is maybe 1/2" at the bottom. The brushes are ruined. This guy on the video is laughable. Sometimes they have good tips this time they get a neighbor to give the points.
If you soak brushes in water BEFORE you begin painting, paint will not wick up to the ferrule (which you might do accidentally) making clean-up much easier.
My only issue with acrylic paint, is if I do not use it for a while it does rust the bottom of the paint can, I still prefer oil/enamel based paint for all of my trim and doors, I also have a item thst attaches to the end of my hose that cleans the roller, best regards from Australia 👍👍👍
@@GoosewithTwoOs i will transfer my acrylic paint into plastic cans/buckets, paint in australia will only come in plastic buckets from about 10 litre and up, cheers
@@cantcurecancer greetings my friend, as soon as I am off shift work I will send you a photo, I am on shift for the next three days, it is in my shed some place, have you got a email?
I definitely don't agree with not cleaning your rollers. Rollers perform better after they've been used a few times. So I'm not sure how professional this gentleman is but all my rollers have been washed and reused tens of times. I've got rollers for light colors rollers for dark colors rollers just for white rollers for ceilings. They're expensive if you have to add that cost to every paint job and they're really not meant to be disposable unless you're buying the $0.99 cheap ones on the bottom shelf at Lowe's that you're lucky to get through the job without the fabric falling off of them.
I use a painters five-in-one tool to scrape the excess paint out of the roller before cleaning it. Use the same tool when rinsing the roller in a bucket of water. Final rinse is under a faucet.
I feel like Mauro doesn't get much coverage on TOH. Probably because there's only so much you can say about paint. I like him, but I rarely have paint questions...
