How to Pour Primer to Prepare to Paint & Update a Door

Video Transcript

"We are going to have to drop this off for painting this time. Painting is a little different we want to be sure that every piece of ground is covered because if we get paint on it, then it is a hold another thing. We are just going to use the boards and make sure that we that. Pretty much the same way we did originally and then we are going to start putting the paint on the door. That is all we need to get started. Now we are going to bring in our paint. First we need to do is get our paint bucket. They are most always dirty when you start wiping out. Use latex today so we are using a nylon polyester blend and this is our primer. Since we are using latex, use a latex primer. They do make some good ones out there now. There are all kinds. Don’t want to mention brand names but you will see them at your local hardware store. Give it a good shake and then you pop it up with your five-in-one and just kind of pop it up all the way around. If you go all the way around, it should pop right off then. Then we have to go ahead and stir it. I usually will just use a stick like this and give it a stir to see how it is doing and you want to stir really well. The way to do it is to pull the stuff up from the bottom to the top while you are stirring because it all kind of clumps near the bottom. You want to be sure that it is all even. You all shake these at the paint store and you don’t have to worry about this so much but if it has been sitting for a while you will find all of the stuff sitting at the bottom. Another thing I will show you here is another technique we use called boxing. If you don’t have a stick or something you don’t want to full with this, you can also especially if it has already been shook within a day or so you can also not use the stick which is a little messy and then just pour it back and forth in your bucket like this. Then if you do this, it still mixes it up for you if you are good at pouring. You can see if this is a little lumpy so sometimes you want to strain this too. We are not going to worry about that on this. Wipe it down with your rag that latex stuff will dry up real quick. So okay, ready to paint."
