I find that useful because I'm going to paint my room... But how good is the drop thing how strong and does it soak through

[tbed63]

@hallie2131 Thanks. If you use regular bed sheets or similar, the paint will soak through. If you buy real drops, you won't have a problem. Be sure to watch the rest of the video on my website...this is only the introduction. Blessings!

Do you put plastic underneath the cloth drops? I'm just worried that the paint may soak through the cloth and mess up the carpet.

[tbed63]

@MsCOWES You ask a good question. No, I don't put plastic under the drops. The drops I use are those that you buy at a hardware or paint store. The paint doesn't soak through the drops unless you dump a bunch of paint on them. If you use a sheet or similar material, the paint will soak through very easily. I recommend getting some "real" drop cloths. Also, don't cover the floor with plastic in place of cloth... things tend to get messier. The paint stays wet and you track it all over the place.

Professionals do this a bit faster.. I do this for a living and you are not really pro (here in holland that is) if you roll a wall that slow and in unstraight lanes.. I dunno what work paste you people have there.. but as for here that was average.. And no, i do cover off the floor and everything else that shouldnt be painted.. if you wonder, i am 23 and painting for over 6yrs now, still a rookie tho if you compare me to the real all-round professionals, or as i like to call them, veterans.

@Sentello87 I'm sure you are a much better painter than me, but I painted for a living for several years. I'm rolling slow because I'm making a movie...talking at the same time, demonstrating technique. I didn't make the movie to show off. In all reality, I made this video so I wouldn't have to keep telling all my friends over and over again how to paint. It saves me a lot of time to just send them the link to this video. I'm sorry if you don't consider me to be "professional" like you.

@mikeinchgo I've done hundreds of paint jobs without spending the extra money on blue painter's tape. I don't leave tape on for days and I've never had a problem with tape goo. This is a PORTION of the video (video description.) Cutting in around doors/windows is in the other portion. It is a waste of time to cover the plugs with tape if you don't throw paint all over the place. I painted my entire house...no paint on the plugs. I look forward to watching your painting video, Master Mike ; )

thanks for the video! i just got done taping my room off and this will be my first time painting a room so thanks for the tips for us newbies! :)

@tbed63 I was going to say the same thing. Trying to talk, and think of all the things you've already covered in your head, and paint at the same time would make it difficult.

Great video though m8, I will watch the rest tomorrow. I've done a bit of painting in my time, but being 20 and using cheap equipment it's a tedious job. I have learned my lesson about quality items and covering carpets/flooring. I remember when all I had was a small brush and a 4x4m room to paint. I managed to do it lol.
