I cleaned mine with pure distilled vinegar first and left it. Then mixed vinegar and water. I brushed with a metal brush and rinsed it with vinegar water multiple times until the brush was clean and then I brushed with a plastic brush. Rinsed until no more green came out. Now it's brand new. I'm so proud of myself. Eco and clever 🤣. Took me 20 mins total.
Can you paint it after this
@@Miah187 yes you can. 👍
👍 nice one
Wow 80 grit sand paper would have remove it and boiled linseed oil to seal it
Why not prime and gloss it? I find that the paint I accidentally dropped on masonry lasted a lifetime or longer.
Hi.
I googled Thompson's water sealer. I can see they also do a one coat version. Which one would you recommend?
Thanks
One coat is good. thanks
@@PaintingandDecorating thanks very much for getting back to me. I can see someone else within your comments is mentioning to use an inhibitor before the sealer to prevent regrowth etc
Whats your thoughts on that?
Are they both water based?
11 minutes of brushing. Ok then...
How comes you didn't water seal underneath the sill ??
Really it's only to protect the top from future growth.
@@PaintingandDecorating personally i would of sealed the whole sill with water seal, including the underneath! But alls to there own i suppose. a bit like saying, i didn't paint the underneath cos you can't see it lol
@@scottthecarper Not really your being stupid.. sealing the stone was to stop growth on the top nothing at all like painting.
The top is the surface that has to deal with water run off from the window and direct rain, this causes wearing of the concrete / stone. The underside does not need sealing.
@@user-yw2xx8jv3o certainly does. water will run there anyway and if it's windy will be forced there and will penetrate the sandstone from underneath. That's why modern sills have a groove on the underside to prevent rain working it's way back to the wall.
bit of Q.., how many brushes do you have in total to the nearest 10,lol
listed as window sill repair but it's window sill protect MISLEADING !!!!
Cut the time showing the cleaning and shorten the video!
hi mate. I am after a bit of advice.I have some old skirting boards prviously glossd with oil based paint.I have bought some oil based undercoat and water based satin paint. whats the best way to paint them what grade sandpaper should i use? how many coats? will undercoat be adequate or do i need primer? thanks in advance
you will only need to wash and sand the skirting boards. then two coats of satin. satin does not need a undercoat. thanks
thank you.what grade sandpaper should I use? do i sand till i just take the the shine off the gloss or more? just to clarify i am using this satin Johnstone's Brilliant White Quick Dry Satin Paint.
yes only to take the shine off. usually grit p 240 but if it's rough paint work use p180 first. then second coat sand with p240.
Hi, I carefully jet wash sandstone, let it dry & then apply a sealer. Fewer chemicals & quicker to complete the job. The sealer has an inhibitor in it, so there’s no mound regrowth. 👍
Not a good idea to use a jet wash you can force out the mortar. So you do not use a fungicidal wash but you put on an inhibitor?
There are fast ways and then the correct way.
Yes, the sandstone is clean, I put on the inhibitor to stop deep spores from re growing under the sealer. Then apply the sealer, then it’s wipe clean for the next 4-5 years. Only requiring re application of the sealer. It’s worked for me for the last 8 years.
paul whitting as long as your happy that's all that matters. But would not use a jet wash nor incourage others to. My customers would not like it.
Painting and Decorating that’s fair enough. You’ve always got to keep the customers happy. 👍
hi which gloss or satin paint can i use on these sills ??
Any exterior paint from masonry, Matt, satin or gloss. Seal the surface first plenty of stabilisers in the shops. Under coat before gloss everything else two three coats. Thanks
@@PaintingandDecorating It's already painted but need to repaint. I have searched for satin and gloss paint online but only Dulux, Johnstones are coming but all saying only for wood and metal.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks.
Is it just me or does that still look terrible
Looks better than a flaking mess like you see on 90% of stone sils and window bays
Omg why not just paint it 🤣 all that for nothing lololol
Because you paint it and then you’ll need to strip and paint it again every 5 years
@@jmabarker1 why would you need to strip and repaint every 5 years🤔
