Great video love the caulk joke intentional or not😂 7:05
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you for this video :)
Excellent presentation. Just what I was looking for. Thank you.
Chinex will make lines in your paint because it is a coarse bristle. Those are better for exterior. It should be a wall brush 3 or 4 inch. That small brush doesnt hold enough paint to cut quickly.
Does it dull the carbide tip after using?... i only cut twice on that on my table saw... but when i tried to cut wood after using it on a fiber cement board... the wood have burned mark everytime i cut... and it made my blade dull.
Coping corners eliminates caulking corners!
Cut to door trim, called casing, is cut wrong and using quarter round and calling it shoe moulding all rookie mistakes!
Nice! Well done video that gets to the point without lots of yapping!
Brilliant.
Do you have a video on the pro and cons on the different types of material used for 1/4 round and shoe molding? When I go to the box store there are 5 different types (poplar, pine, pvc, Styrofoam and MDF. Finally, what is the best way to attach them when there are steel studs? Thanks
The only thing I disagree with is caulking the nail holes. Once the caulk settles, you'll be able to still see the holes because it shrinks. You use spackling, holes will be invisible forever
Thank you for sharing
7:04 😂
I really appreciate you having this video I haven't done shoe molding in a while and I was just double checking to make sure I was doing it right you're very specific very informative and to-the-point I appreciate your help have a great day good luck on your project Michael Reeves
Thanks, Boss!
Jesus Christ died for all of our sins. He died the death we all deserved. He was the perfect one who never sinned once, but he loved us so much he decided to die for us so our sins would be paid for and we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven before God the Father blamelessly. He is the living son of God who wants to know us and have a personal relationship with us. No matter what you have done no matter how far gone you think you are Jesus can and will save you. All you have to do is confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. Believe that he died on the cross for your sins and had a bodily resurrection 3 days later. We cannot be saved by our works but by faith in Christ alone. Repent and turn to Christ. You will have joy, happiness, love, and peace beyond understanding.
As a professional painter, I tape off all my trim with Frog tape for laser sharp lines anyway. Run a semi dry brush along the tape really quick to activate the tape then use a 3/8" mini roller to "cut" in everything. So there literally are zero brush marks. When doing 2 coats its faster than trying to cut in twice. And for a DIYer masking with Frog tape is going to give a much better look.
Using tape on trim just hides the paint that gets under the tape until it is dry. It also wastes a huge amount of time. Just cut in and use a rag to wipe off any paint that gets on the trim.
@@MAGAMAN Dry brushing Frog Tape helps activate the glue so you get very little paint under the tape. Its also better if you pull the tape off while the paint is fresh anyway, so if there is any paint it'll clean off easy with a damp rag wrapped over a putty knife. If you're doing two coats the time savings is small, especially for the less experienced painter. And for caulked in trim like this taped lines are going to look so much better than any cut in.
A "professional" doesn't need to waste time or money on tape.
Do not need tape
I feel like I cut a pretty straight line free hand. A well taped line though looks a different level of straight to me, especially on caulked in trim vs trim with a gap between the wall. I'd love to see the free hand lines others say they can make that compare with a taped line. Also, I don't really do production work. Maybe that makes a difference in whether taping trim off matters. Even then though, the amount of time it takes to mask off trim is tiny, I've never timed myself but it has to be maybe 30 seconds, certainly not more than a minute, for a double window or door?
Good video thank you
Count up how many times you say uh and um. Bet you’ll be amazed.
Or you could back roll with 4inch mini roller
That's a good idea but I can still see the lines
Very informative! Subbed..
You're not ELIMINATING brush marks, just making them harder to see. Misleading title.
Cool tip on the bits of paper. 👍
Short and right on point. Love it, Thanks. 👍👍👍
Hi there! Just found your videos and I am installing a bench like this in my shower. What type of screws did you use to screw in the stainless steel pieces and what type of scissors/ metal sheers are those?
I dont use caulking to fill holes as it shrinks.
Looks good, but i wouldn't want to rely on that thin aluminum frame for the sheer forces for a floating bench. I would be hesitant to even do that for a floating shelf. GoofProof makes a great floating bench, tile ready, thick ABS that you can lag bolt right in to studs.
Hey, thanks for your comment. The frame is stainless steel and is very strong.
Thanks
add some floetrol to the paint
chinex is a stiff bristle that digs into the paint more. If your room is warm your paint will dry fast and show more lines. And youre brushing too far onto the wall. You only need to cover enough to get the roller in there. You dont need to brush horizontally. Just roll it.
Yes, this is a good video to show why not to use chinex in such an application.
Thanks! worked well for me!
Thanks for this! Hate marks
Nice job
Yeah sure, it's still very very visible
Hello..thanks for the video... What size is the shoe moulding ? 1/2 or 3/4 ? Thanks
DOH!!!
The nail you shot in at 6:20 didn't hit anything. The molding raised up as you moved on.
might have been out of nails?
Or you can just keep the roller with you and as you cut it in roll right up to it about an eighth of an inch while it's still wet and then you're good. This would take forever to do a whole house
7:04 I’m glad your caulk is staying moist
You didn't eliminate the brush marks, yuo just made them harder to see.
I just looked at a job like this and had to walk away. Condo's with the tiles thin set and leveled and then left to sit for a month, the damn hacks did a horrible job cleaning the thin set with their sponges when they set it. The tools they wanted me to use was only a utility knife. The thinset was cured and this was done to multiple condos, weeks worth of work to fix something that could have just been done right the first time. Here's a tip for people, bring Popsicle sticks to use with your sponge and bucket of water. Use the popsicle stick to clean out grooves and take your time to clean each tile good with your sponge. Don't have popsicle sticks? repurpose a spacer, use whatever you have but do something to clean the grooves while it's still wet.
Th extra space trick works great and I toss them in a water bucket as I go when I can remember but yeah or pre wipe back and edges and sponge face before sticking works great also in conjunction. Nice comment tho
@@SharpsideConstruction Yeah this sounds like a technique my brain would develop right away. Problem is I've never met the right contractor who would pay me based on what I'm capable of and how fast my ideas and techniques progress. They all seem to want to pay me based on how much time in their respective field and in their field they have workers that they don't seem to be trained, don't learn well, ignore instructions, or are just being trained wrong I don't know. Two of my buddies have been hired on to two different companies at very high starting wages with less job site experience than me, both friends are smart and solid outdoors athletic and have excelled in comparison to other workers the company has had. So I know there's a chance to get in the good spots but seems to come down to who you know and timing, in the meantime there's plenty of types of good paying work to do and no point in mixing in with hacks for bottom dollar. Thanks for replying with some job site advice, reminds me of the old bethepro forums r.i.p.
what about dabbing to match the rroller texture
Best video ever thanks
Hi I need your help. I got a similar tile installed. Brown porcelain wood like tiles. But the tiler used white grout.. it looks Soo ugly.. 😣 can you advise on it if it can be removed and how?
Wow! I always check with my clients to see what color grout they would like. I would recommend going to a tile store and asking them for a grout stain. And then I would use that stain to recolor the grout and make your floor look exactly the way you want it to!
Everyone watching this, make your returns on the shoe molding. Don't just paint the end like this guy. Lol
Perhaps for crown molding but not for shoe! 😆
Sponges you need more sponges
Cool Video!
Errr there's still horizontal strokes
