- How to know if paint is water ( latex ) or oil based through this painters hack. Oil based paints can be used over both water and oil based painted surfaces, however water based ( latex ) paints can only be used over water ( latex ) based without the proper preparation . If you used the wrong paint over the wrong surface it wont stick and will bubble and peel over time.

Thanks

@@billshowto Last night I went around the house, with my Nail Polish Remover!
I found out that it is all Latex which surprised me big time...
I can't figure out why we have a half can of OIL Stain Blocking paint?
Wishing that I had a Habitat for Humanity store close by. There is 2 water stains
on the ceiling, but they are only the size of a silver dollars.
Do I need to buy a new can of primer, or could I use that oil base primer for these
two spots, if I'm going to use Latex ceiling paint?
Big thanks!
Thought you also have to do some kind of treatment on surface of water-based paint before applying oil-based
He meant if rag is clean after testing it is walter based and if paint comes off it is oil
?
You can use home rubbing alcohol. I use the 70% isopropyl alcohol in my medicine cabinet. Works fine.
That's very short and sweet. What if you have a painting on wood and wonder if it's done in oils or acrylics that have been sealed/coated with something clear and a bit shiny?
Perfect
So would acetone be a good way to clean up oil based stuff before painting?
What if you have stained wood trim? Just watch to see if the finish gets glossy or dull?
Does this also work for determining oil or water base polyurethane?
1:48 does he not contradict himself here getting surfaces mixed up ?
you can lightly sand the oil based paint, prime with zinsser and paint over with acrylic and you should be right...
Can I use paint thinner
I'm not sure if this is true as I don't buy nail polish remover but I heard that it is no longer containing acetone. Maybe someone can correct me. Great video tho!
And in the walls is the same??
Water based paint can’t be painted over oil based paint right?
Would it be possible to show us how to remove mold?
Here's one i prepared earlier

Help!!! I have a question. My cabinet was painted with water based enamel. I stripped most of the paint off and sanded it. Now I want to use a high gloss oil based enamel. With kind of primer should I use? Water or oil based. The cabinet was an awful dark forrest green and I want to go white so I'm pretty sure I should prime it first. 🥰
Oil can be used over water based paints but not the other way around without a primer 👍
MAKE UP YOUR MIND,,,WHICH ONE IS WATER BASE AND WHICH ONE IS OIL BASE..... HAHAHAHAHA
I've seen videos saying use rubbing alcohol and some saying use nail polish remover. I have crown moulding, doors and door trim I want to repaint. I used rubbing alcohol, damn near scrubbed it and nothing came off. I originally used that test to determine that I was dealing with oil. Then I tried acetone and the paint came off fairly easy. But I also saw that nail polish remover will remove oil based paint as well as latex. Now Im thoroughly confused ?? They only thing I can say for sure is I repainted my ceilings with flat latex and hit the crown moulding with the roller in some areas. That flat latex is on there really good after drying. My main concern is, I dont want to use oil on my project because of the high odor and I have a lot of trim. But I also dont want to use latex if I am going over oil and waste time and money. So...is nail polish remover removing the paint a suree bet to say I am dealing with latex even though alcohol did nothing ????
Sand and go over it with Zinsser 123 and you are good to go
Did you you flip which one is oil and which is latex? I assume the acetone dissolves the oil based paint, which is the bottom piece.
Acetone will make the surface of oil based paint shiny while on water based paints it will remove the paint much more rapidly 👍
thats simply not true, you CAN use a water based paint over an existing oil paint finish by simply using either an adhesion primer or a shellac primer first.
How could 13 people put a Thumbs Down to this video??? Thank you so much!!
Perhaps they painted latex over oil before watching the video.
@@wittydisplayname1761 😂😂😂
Because he changed what he said was oil and water based at the end and confused people totally.
you shouldn't need to check it you should be using oil gloss anyway for a proper job especially for interiors its essential from my experience
Some people can’t handle the smell that lingers especially kids. Also the clean up is a hassle so everyone is switching to water based. Oil yellows over time too
but pale colors, whites etc yellow in not a long time
@@mikesherwood5497 all depends which one you use
@@jackwardley3626 which don't yellow
@@mikesherwood5497 dulux trade satinwood stays white for long time and the eggshell. crown trade next gen gloss stays white for a good while. palatine paints still make pre 2010 glosses etc. well i mean it might be ok for diy but has cost me many times when ive use white acrylic paints on yellowed glosses etc as in a extra 1-2 coats around a hole house that can cost ya
