- Time to practice with my used Graco HVLP spray gun. Just the one shower room door to do with Zinser coverstain. We all have to start somewhere!

My neighbor has just bought a professional sprayer for painting his house. He said, don't buy one, use mine. Nice one, saved me $1000! Flipping that door was brilliant, I never considered doing it that way.
Nice 🙌 that means he can borrow your tools now though 😂 there's another way of placing the screws in a slightly different place where you don't need to use a weight. I'm not sure when I'll be painting another though!
Here's a tip I learned from Stud Pack (CZcams), put that centre screw off-centre by about 50mm and then you won't need the weight. Works a treat.
Do you do that for both screws or just the one side?
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT Both ends. What you will find is that it wants to hang with one side down. You use the second screw to allow you to get it to lay flat (czcams.com/video/i4rGs2UEpQo/video.html from 10:30 explains it better than I can typing) and when you are finished painting you let that screw past the stand and the door will hang vertically. This also helps to reduce the dust that settles on the faces of the door from my experience.
@@i.m.peterrific ah right I've got ya, just watched the video! I don't know why I didn't think of that 😂
Aide, you can't mix paint with a round object...let alone a big nail lol
haha I can....it just takes longer 😂
btw.. Zinsser Coverstain is oil based... the thinner for it is White Spirit.
Please tell me you used White spirit to thin it down??
the data sheet says it's solvent based? I used thinners
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT correct, paint thinners.
did you use a cellulose thinner?
~ Coverstain is just like an oil paint.
The thinner is normal white spirit (paint thinner)
NOT, cellulose/gun cleaner.
Water Based - Zinsser 123 or 123+ = thin with water
Solvent/oil based - Zinsser CoverStain = thin with white spirit/paint thinner or Turps.
Spirit based - Zinsser BIN - is shellac based - thin with Meths/denatured alcohol
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator just realised I said the coverstain was shellac based instead of solvent based in the video 🤦♂️ I wish you could edit these things after you've published. Anyway the thinners I used is toluene and methanol heptane (solvent), so not cellulose. Anyway the door is fine Phil stop worrying about it 😁
I'm gonna spray it with Aqua Guard, what should I thin that down with? Just water or floetrol?
@@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT water lol
Great videos m8, just came across your stuff. If your ever looking to try knew paint products, tikkurilla are very very good. I'm a decorator btw, I mainly paint kitchen units nowadays and use their products from the primers to the helmi range. Really nice stuff.
