Scraped down shingles - Type of primmer?

I have cedar shingles that were painted over twice - really old. So I scraped off all peeling paint and then some. Just finished sanding it with 60 grit palm sander. I didn't want to sand off to bare shingle.

Can someone recommend what to do next. I have a Cabot's Stain I want to put on as a finish coat. Does the type of primmer matter? Latex vs. Oil, Ben Moore vs. California?

Please advise.

Suggest you use Cabot's primer specifically made for use with Cabot products.

Which cabot stain are you using? latex or oil? semi-transparent or solid?

Generally stains don't require a primer but under certain circumstances one is needed with latex stains.

Painting over cracked/rippled plaster walls

F

fenningenarius on Aug 27, 2009

I'm about to paint several rooms which have plaster walls with several layers of paint on them. The surface of the walls is very uneven and there are cracks in many places. There are also places where fairly hard/thick pieces of paint are chipping off. The painted surface has a very rough texture. It feels very chalky and porous. The house was built in the late 40's. Here are some pictures: [URL="http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/5052/img0617i.jpg"]http://img364.imageshack.us/img364/5052/img0617i.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/9929/img0614.jpg"]http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/9929/img0614.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/38/img0608.jpg"]http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/38/img0608.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/5945/img0622f.jpg"]http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/5945/img0622f.jpg[/URL] I'm looking for any advice that anyone might have about how to do this. I'd like to flatten out the ripples and cracks in the walls but I'm mainly concerned with using the right kind of materials and preparation to ensure that the paint will adhere and hopefully not chip away in the future. I'm also going to be painting the window trim. I replaced the stop this past weekend (while replacing the windows) but the painted casing is still there. There are places on the casing where one or more of the old layers of paint have partially peeled away due to the removal of the stop. Can I fill in those places with something and sand them flat before painting over them? Here is a picture of the window trim: [URL="http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/8770/img0620j.jpg"]http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/8770/img0620j.jpg[/URL] Thanks for any help!Read More

Roller Fuzz Insanity

J

jonnyg on Aug 27, 2009

Hi All. I have read over and over again that wrapping masking tape around a roller and removing it should get rid of the fuzz. But this is not working for me! I have tried the method with Wooster brand rollers, some mid-range rollers, and some cheapies. No matter what I do, I get fuzz. I am fixing to have to sand the same wall for a second time and start over! With the Woosters, I did the tape thing four times in a row and fuzz kept coming out. I wet it and spun it to get it somewhat dry before I painted with it. Fuzz. With another roller, I tried simply wrapping tape just once, in case the multiple times was pulling fuzz loose. Still got fuzz. So I went six times on another one. Still got fuzz. Is there anything I can do to get this job done?! Everything I read online to prevent the fuzz is not working. At the rate I'm spending money on these stupid rollers at the big box stores, I am more than willing to pay $10 for a wool roller if that's what it takes. I just read about them tonight on this forum for the first time. If I use one of these, is there any chance at all I'll get fuzz in the paint? Regardless, I'm heading to my local Sherwin Williams tomorrow. Please help me keep my sanity!Read More
