QUOTE(bobowyc @ Dec 27 2017, 10:32 PM) No. I would recommend not to add thinner/water even though they recommend a 5% percentage to dilute it. We usually use the whole pail without diluting it. If the paint it water base, you have to add water, cannot add thinner. If its oil based, you have to add thinner/turpentine. hi bobowyc, since you mentioned thinner, can I use thinner to wash the tool, roller and brush that I used for water-based paint? Then use them to paint water-based paint again? Will any thinner gets into my paint that way? I paint on weekends, so every Sunday night need to wash them, then start painting again on next weekend. I tried using soap and water but the roller/brush still become hard and dry. If I use them, they 'drink up' my paint like crazy.  This post has been edited by lowlowc: Jan 12 2018, 03:41 PM |

I use normal masking tape too. I have always thought they're the same  To avoid ripping the paint, take them off right after finish painting when it's starting to dry. On area with thickened paint, I use blade to gently cut a line at the border, so when remove the tape, it won't pull the wall paint. |

QUOTE(bobowyc @ Jan 12 2018, 07:40 PM) Hi bro. No, thinner is meant for oil based paints. Water based paints u can just actually dip in a container of water. But remember to wash them. Since you only paint on sundays better just wash them. How long more before it is completed? If stilllong you can just dip in clear water. Just use plain water. Dont need with soap. haha.. Haha, yeah, did that last time, ended up touching back some paints which peeled off. Better get the painters tape. Its designed specifically for this reason. And why our local contractors (especially old skool ones) dont change their ways. Its easy if its your own house, we normally paint our client's house so we have deadlines bro. hahaa.. Cant afford going round the house cutting door frames with blades. lolol. Hi, do you mean continuous dipping them in clean water. Ok if i use the damp rollers and brush with paint later? I have to go outstation this week so had to skip painting this week. I need at least another 2 weekend to finish. I ve wash the tools and hang there to dry. Now already hardened. |

QUOTE(bobowyc @ Jan 14 2018, 11:00 PM) Haha. You mean by the smell? hahah! Yeah, just leave it in the pail of water  hahaha. If its a week better u wash them thoroughly. Are you sure they are water based and not oil based? Are you painting your wall or what..? lol Yup, very sure they're water based paint. Thanks for the tips. I will wash them and the night before use, soften them with some water, so they will be a bit damp. |
