Rolling walls with 18" roller

[greg24625]

never mind the no primer or splaters we can leave that to the cry ass painters i think you roll good i have used the 18 for years and you laid that wall out great

[abc123abc97]

What kind of paint is that ? and i would like you to see you work in old building apartments where there are much more repairs to be made and its harder to work. = )

[skeemhomie]

looks like theres a paint spludge at the start of vid by your foot

[ScottONanski]

Please tell me you are using a tinted primer.. lol. ;)

[mxmaz]

How can you run the roller so fast without paint flinging everywhere?

[TheSHCS]

@mxmaz Not all paint spatters. Also, paint that does spatter with one roller cover won't spatter with another. I'm a freak about paint spatters. You won't see me spreading paint that does.

[krishnaspal]

I'm getting ready to a big part of my house. The question I have is when do you cut in? It didn't appear that you cut in before you rolled on the paint.

[FlowRollNL]

In Europa thats a good seller

[snipershniper]

he rolls and spills paint around as if there is no tomorrow. Naturally if you paint a wall in your own house, not some warehouse, you would be more careful.

[blingblingringring]

Jesus Christ...you are poetry in motion sir! Absolutely Fabulous. I taught myself to paint and it took me hours with a stupid small roller...where the hell do I get one of those muther rollers! (I'm in UK)

[chingarespecto]

NO pro paint out of a roller tray and only real pros use pva which you obviously dont

[TheSHCS]

@chingarespecto Do they make buckets for 18" rollers? NO they dont. I wouldnt put PVA on anything I paint. Why dont you go read jackpauhl.blogspot.com/2008/12­/drywall-primers.html and learn from a pro because you obviously have no clue what you are talking about.

[manofcraft]

@TheSHCS ha ha ha.good sayng

[pipercub17]

@TheSHCS

i too would like to read this but it wont work for me

[USAPatriot7761]

@TheSHCS yes they do make buckets for 18'' rollers. you learn from a pro

[chopaxecentrepiece]

@chingarespecto yes u can, i have 2 20+ inch scuttles which can take over 20 litres of paint, proves how much you know

[MrSueravey]

far too much on the load..shitty light and wheres ya fuking whites. jobsy we call u lot. call urself a pro..pmsl.

[lzshady]

i think load too much and spin so fast, must be some paint on the floor, i cant see clearly, maybe not even coverage

[FlowRollNL]

Quick - Easy - Better

That's are the 3 things what cat a 18'' roller offer professional painter.

Really good product!!

Best Regards,

[TheSHCS]

The paint spatter is minimum with the paint and roller cover I use. There are roller covers that will produce heavy paint spatter as well as paints that produce spatter.

[kevbo7s]

Thats fast, but man I bet paint is flyin all over him and the floor, I would be careful loading that much and rolling that fast in a finished home.

[vand5660]

If your serious about using an !8" roller you might want to check out this frame at dandoent these guys make the only !8" frame that lets you roll tight to an inside corner, and the way its set up makes it very easy to use.

[MsBellaroma]

seems so much quicker with the 18 do you rec. this ?

[flourishjoe]

i wouldnt say primer is useless it totally depends on what your finishing with. everyone has their own ways of doing things but id say that when finishing with a flat your primer should be the same flat thinned out. as for eggshells you definitely should use a good primer. primers will generally be shinier then a flat finish so why not save your self the headache of starting with more sheen to help with the eggshell finish turns out great in the end. primers are just thinner

[troytarter]

Great Vid. I always use a 18" roller when I can.

[maurice3883]

this roller is too big!!!

[TheSHCS]

@irich62 Silly judgment on your part. Primer is useless. Prove me wrong, you will be the first.

Amateur painters make comments like yours. Im pretty sure this will look fine at night.

[chopaxecentrepiece]

@irich62 behave, you dont need to primer new build walls, why use pva which is gunna reflect the water back out causing shitty runs. another thing is you cant apply pva to plasterboarded walls you moron, they are made of paper and if they get too wet they tear and start to sag. your obviously no pro painter...a simple watered down emulsion would suffice then 2 over coats would look solid...get back in your pit and step away from the roller

[ishurgrl]

what if you had a 50" roller

like i do

[NomadDad57]

No prime coat on new drywall? Not the way I would do it. And make a note that there is no finished flooring installed yet. That makes a difference on how careful you have to be.

[wildtrain]

Do you ever use a 9" on new walsl or is the lowest you go 12"- OR do you ALWAYS use an 18" on new walls?? Great vid man!

[jbarnett340]

does it have to be from top to bottom? if you stop half way and leave it will it dry alright?

[TheSHCS]

Rolling a last stroke down from top to bottom produces a consistent finish. Equal consistent pressure is also important.

[moniuksgtc]

Hey great video.

I use the 18" sleeve for the prime {new homes} and first coat behind a sprayer with a 517 tip.

The house is then stippled. Finishing package goes in. We spray the trim and roll out the 2nd coat of paint with the 18" sleeve.

[the96painter]

I get in trouble if I backroll primer. It MUST be backrolled otherwise it's on too thick. Though it's only a prime coat it still has to look good.

[Vpopov81]

what size nap is that?

[TheSHCS]

its in the credits at end of video. 1/2" superfab

[lxvxjxnkie]

Hey, it would be great to hear some commentary with this video, especially to help identify which bits are useful practices and which bits are just random...

[TheSHCS]

Not much else to say. Keep it wet and consistent.

[pino18]

from what I gather from your videos you seem to remove all things like light switches from walls before painting, is this really neccesary? Would it not be easier to just cut around them or tape them up?

[TheSHCS]

No. I work in new homes. Hardware is not installed at time of first coat.

[humantestdummy]

just unscrew the 1 or 2 screws from the plastic covers on your lightwitch and sockets outlets and you will be set

[Humeren]

I am a pro. I would not use this size of roller. Its too uncomfortable:) However thanks for the other vids you posted great work! Just how I do it on drywall!

[slinkyfred]

I always wear clean jeans boots & t-shirt when I paint. What was the point of your video?

[prrolg]

guitarss2 I'm a pro painter and I always use flat paint to prime. If the final coat is eggshell or satin you will see any patching or taping right through the paint but if you flat coat it it covers beautifully. I get the flat coat color the same as the final coat color if final coat is a sheen. Found this out by accident and was happy I did. thnks.

[Ededitor8]

Before I moved in, my house was painted by pros going the one coat route, I wouldnt have paid them in buttons. Most of these one hit wonder paints blow chunks if you want a finish to be really proud of. But hey I am an old fart and would love to be proved wrong, obviously.

[TheSHCS]

I hear stories like that all the time. No pro will one-coat anything.

[budte]

25 yrs qualified. I'll second Quitarss2. First coat primed with thinned flat emulsion allowing paint to soak in and grab the surface otherwise its top heavy. Standard procedure.  Cut in first because you want the texture of the wall roller over the biggest area.

[keefer7369]

good stuff brian...i was wondering if you ever condition latex paint with floetrol or anything like that, and how well it works if you do? or do you paint straight outta the can?

[TheSHCS]

keefer, I do not feel the paint I use needs doctored but some on the market do. I will keep a water bottle handy for my cutting can if need be, due to evaporation. But for rolling, I roll it straight.

[guitarss2]

if you use eggshell,satin semi high luster over bear drywall your begging for a lawsuit.regular primer sucks unless your using kills or zinsser.again you see primer is watered down flat paint flat paint has more pigment.i see guys take primer and add some bronze and black tint.well the problem with that is they dont know that flat paint has that attribute.dont starve your roller either.most paint says 350 to 400 sq ft bs you should only get 250 to 300sq ft. dont scrimp.

[TheSHCS]

We do not prime. Until someone proves primers effectivness to us over our current methods - we find primers useless. Google "jack pauhl primers" for more info on why primer is useless.

[guitarss2]

well you know i just use flat paint as a primer you have to have aa flat surface for satin,semi or anything with a sheen

[guitarss2]

i looked at the site you told me to its really simple.ive been painting for 15 yrs my dad 35.you see there are 16 of us in our drywall paint family. since 1951.not bragging but i know my stuff were finishers to.you are getting whats called an angular sheen.from not being primed all new surfaces metal,wood,drywall has to be primed try using regular flat white paint you wont be dissapointed etc

[prrolg]

But I think you always apply flat paint in new construction right. You guys don't look like decorators. Ha ha. Just kidding but serious about the painting.

[TheSHCS]

We used to apply flats, most everything these days is eggshell.

[TheSHCS]

New construction, we roll first and cut last on first coat. For 2nd coat we cut first then roll.

[prrolg]

Thanks for tip.
