- This video shows the easiest way to correct the error of painting latex paint over oil based without proper prep.
Hallway trim was painted with latex paint and realized upon completion that we had painted over oil base paint. Paint began randomly peeling after the slightest bump. We found the easiest solution by removing the latex in the simplest way. Watch the video for a fairly easy way to remove it.
Ok, I tried it. It worked. Initially I tried Oven cleaner EasyOff, which works, but why not just water and detergent. In my case it is wide baseboard on sides of the stairs. At first when I soak it, it did not work but then I waited 20 minutes, then I was able to pill off a big area. Thank you, this method was the best. For me, the underlay surface was little rough, so the latex paint stick to it harder, but still the soaking with water and detergent did the magic. Thank you once again.
Thank you very much. I have exact same problem, painting latex to oil based paint and it is pilling off. Initially wanted to by oil based, but the guy in home depot said , every body uses latex! bla bla. Now I have extra work to do, because paints of pilling off. It looks like your solution is best solution to remove the latex paint. I will comment again once I tried it.
Damnit Debie, your a genius!
This looks like the top two layers in my new place peeling off, thank you for the insight.
Thank you so much. Great information
Thank you so much. Just did the same thing on our kitchen cupboards. Appreciate your video.
SO GLAD IT HELPED!
Thank you debbie! A “professional” painter painted all of my baseboards and trim with latex and its all peeling. I’ve got a long project ahead of me
use jasco stripper. I am a 20 year pro, and im working on one of these projects now. Strip it, be done. plus, the older it gets, the more the bond will increase in spots, and it wont come off as easily as in this video.
Thanks! I did just this in the bathroom.
Thank you! I'm dealing with this myself and was peeling it off by hand and using tape which is taking forever.
It says on the back of the tin. Glossy surfaces should be thoroughly abraded to remove the shine. You can use a bonding primer like Zinsser 123 then paint.
A painter did this to all 18 of our doors and trim--🤬 will be easier to just replace them, but extremely expensive
Wonder how well denatured alcoholic would work? Have to do this for a small bathroom we just painted, so I feel you're pain😳
I’m not sure. Please let me know if you try it and how it works out!
Not exactly super quick, but helpful.
I bet if wifey wasn't there the hubby would get a stripper to make life easier....lol 😂 jk I know stupid joke
Keep the ugly white paint off. That is beautiful wood.
Hello, this is a simple way to do it maybe, but heck, you call this super quick?????
This is going to take forever.
It will take even longer with any other method. I would recommend her method
Next time hire a professional ....
Or just do a little research in Google first and save you all that hard earned money.
@@1maybeline A Decorator would have to do the same as Debbie .No easy fix to this problem
I’ve got a sneaking suspicion that you’re removing water-based latex paint with the hot water & the scraper.
From my way too many years of experience, only latex pulls off in a stretchy strip. Oil-based paint simply does not.
In fact, latex paint shouldn’t strip off so easily with hot soapy water and a scraper. It looks to me like the original natural wood molding has been treated with an oil -based finish. The previous owners may have tried to “seal” that finish so that latex stuck to it. I suspect something of the sort has kept your new paint from sticking to the old white coat.
Also, be certain that you’ve rinsed the bare wood once you’ve uncovered You may need a solvent of some sort. Ask at your painter’s store.
I have a 1947 home that someone down the years painted all our cabinetry with an ugly beige oil-based paint.
It’s a nightmare. A chemical engineer friend of mine advised me not to sand or chemically remove oil-based paint. Instead, he says to put a modern sealant over it that will accept latex paint without peeling.
At least get some advice from professional painters or a reputable paint retailer. Old oil-based finishes can cause problems.
Good luck!
