opinion so what was your goal in creating this online masking verse because you have a lot of videos out there where you do masks is it different than all your YouTube videos out there yeah I have um you know if you've been following me I've been creating videos on YouTube for uh since 2011 so I'm not a math major so I don't know how many years that is now what's 20 23. so that's 12 years 12 years 12 years of um making videos I think I've got over 1500 videos now and I do got a lot of videos on masking but nothing that goes into detail um like these videos do so there's videos there's quizzes there's a final exam and it just I have the opportunity to sit down and explain explain in extreme detail you know um the the subject and of masculine and it's kind of like my cabinet Wars so I got a cabinet course too online gamma course and it's just way more in depth and um in teachings but it's broken up into small pieces and I have watched it and I believe that I could be a good masker if I was hired and put on a team because you talk about like how to cut the stuff how to lay it out I mean you to go over the detail and make it really easy for somebody like me that's interesting so um do you want a job because you know this Idaho state government is hiring so oh yeah that is true so they're looking for a painter if you want a government job um I was uh contacted by the state of Idaho yesterday this is for the state of Idaho you can actually get a job as a painter full time for the state of Idaho and how much do they pay the um minimum salary is 16 maximum is 18 but I read the email so they have a really good retirement they have really good benefits so the thing is is that adds so the hourly wage might not be on what you're looking for but the benefits are really good yes a paid time off paid vacation health insurance Employee Retirement I mean there may be some point for so if you are interested in that you need to get on the chat and tell us and we can get you the information of where to apply for that job so that was just a little PR for our state for the state of Idaho because I think I'm not speaking for it I think I'm actually going to apply no you're not

today we just released it today it's my masking course and it's um anything and everything you need to know about into your next year masking and what tools I use all the tools that I use when it comes to masking and being fast and efficient at it so I walk you through the tools I walk you through all the tapes that I use and there's all kinds of specialty tapes and I explained what they're for and where I use them then I go into you know all kinds of aspects of masking masking for new construction you know masking for interior and extra repaints I teach you how I uh quickly and efficiently mask a window a door jamb um mask pipes um but this is the masking this is your second on other courses and so what's the next course that's going to be coming so the next course we're working on is our caulking course so we're probably about halfway through that and hopefully that's going to be available within a month so I'm excited about that so Matt Clark said I'm stoked thanks so much been following you for years and your videos have helped me transform my painting business thank you so much I'm definitely going to go do it now so thank you very much Matt appreciate it we do appreciate it and I think like masking obviously if you don't mask right you could have big disasters on your hands have you ever had like a big disaster on your hand because somebody didn't mask accurately um I you might be hinting at one but I mean okay you're not hinting at anything um we've had just throughout my career all kinds of just minor little things here and there um your masking not being done where the um the maskings come off or was it done thoroughly and and overspray or paint it's gotten you know under or you know around things or things weren't masks that we've painted on and you know nothing's ever not fixable um but it you know it makes the job just go longer and not as quickly and efficient way if at the end you're cleaning up over spray you know because of um you know masking wasn't done that's the whole goal I'm asking is so that it doesn't this way so you don't get paint where you don't want it exactly so so what disaster were you thinking of I wasn't thinking of any oh a lot of times you are ending at something no no I don't remember I just know that it is a very big deal and you talk about if you're a good masker it's going to make you a good sprayer or something like that or you're a good sprayer will make you a good mascara you'll never be a good sprayer until you're a good masker but okay say it one more time you're never gonna be a good sprayer unless you're a good mascara that's a big statement why is that and I'm trying to think um and what happens is you know um and to also masking or no I think it's the other way around you're never going to be a the best master that you can be until you spray it because what happens okay and so I said it backwards so okay my bad say it one more time you're never going to be the best or a super good Master until you spray because what happens is once you begin spraying after you after you've learned how to mask and stuff you will eventually start to see where all your mistakes and where your all your flaws are masking so if you're not tacking the masking down property and you're spraying and boom it flips up on the wall you're like dang it's like I understand now why you know I needed to attack those areas and um you'll eventually see you know leaks and holes and stuff and things you know when you start to spray also um you're never gonna be the best master until you pull up masking after things have been sprayed and painted and see the leaks because now you're like oh I here's a mistake this is you know it leaked right here so um it's good to learn how to mask but it's also good to learn how to spray you know or paint over the masking that you're masking so you become better okay that so if somebody learns how to yes somebody learns how to mask it's important to give them the opportunity to spray because then they're going to realize you know what this is why you're not just being obnoxious by making me push the tape down there's a real reason but I think it's like it's you know the course is really important too because and the caulking courses I'm working on right now because there's two skills that um I typically we always hired kids um you know college kids that kids they're adults so yeah they're young men yeah women so I've hire them they have no skill and the first thing we would do is teach them how to talk and if you know how to caulk and mask you literally right now you can go probably anywhere in the United States and get even the state of Idaho the state of Idaho you can make 22 an hour um if 22 to 25 if you can caulk and mask really good if you're fast and efficient I'll take you right now I'll hire you right now I mean me um so it's um it's an important skill and you know if you have employees you're hiring our course you can hand them the course um say take this course they can get all this information on a weekend you know you can you can take two months to watch all the information I watched it in the afternoon in an afternoon yeah so that so it and what's nice is that because it's so broken down into little pieces if you forget like what did he say about the yellow tape or when did he say to do the window how to tuck it it's all spelled out for you so you don't have to sit there and watch hours of video saying oh that's where it is he has it broken down into each piece so right now it is available on paintlifesupply.com our online masking course this is our second online course we're excited we're going to get a whole library of them available and when you're making the online course you were thinking you know some people don't know which tools to use and to buy and so you did make an online kit a kit a kit of all the tools you need for your not not at all it was it's available in our store it's a kit that you can purchase that just if you're a do-it-yourselfer or um you're just starting out painting and you're like what do I need need to like start masking this interior texture we got a kit you are getting some questions yeah we're going to give away a cover grip to somebody asking a question um so first I want to to thank our sponsors that helped do we have sponsors we have sponsors that helped make um the course happen because this takes a lot of it takes an army it takes um our two videographers who are running our live show right now and I think it looks pretty dang cool and if you can't forget our photographer and our photographer I was getting there okay and so he's actually shooting some photos right now behind the scenes so thanks to our sponsors I'll read one and you read one frog tape on covered rip right here Zora Corp what does our Corp so um zorkor makes well a whole bunch of things but they make the best five in one tool you can ever buy so why would you why would you um add this into the masking kit yeah because it has a knife on it has a knife um that flips out of a um five in one tool best five in one you will ever buy so one use a knife all the time because I'm cutting plastic but I mean remember you used to talk about your 501 how you used to buy and buy the box and everybody would lose them like when you're in bushes and stuff like that um so I was I bought them by the case and we went through a case of them like every couple weeks and because they're dark they're black they fall in bushes they get drug out of your pocket because they're light and stuff and you can't find them in bushes being bright orange you'll never lose it it's a lot heavier so it doesn't get drug out of your pocket it's heavy heavy duty so um I love it I've never actually lost one I don't have to buy them by the case anymore um and Zora Corp makes it and that's um part of my four painters by painters it's an actual painter that owns the company that manufactures really cool products so so foam Pro what did what what do they make foam Pro it's it's not we have one here it's a new tool that I just got sent that I um think is it's a tape cutter it's a tape cutter for um oh and our videographers got one right here so that's service day so um right here it's called the tape cap so um I'm gonna open it up and I'll just show you one because I use it couple I use this do you probably have a tape on the floor or somewhere oh there's one over there maybe it could magically appear on our oh here we go here we go okay there we go so I'll show you right now how it works how it works and so you can go on to the next um sponsor so Premiere Premiere is our next sponsor Premiere makes um the best um in my opinion the best brushes out there pay brushes do we have any Premier brushes around here handmade in New York I know we have them somewhere around here I got well I got a you know an old Montauk sitting down here um they make the Montauk they make the Riverdale they make um all kinds of paint brushes so this is the tape cap right here so oh here we go why did you why did you recommend the Brooklyn so the Brooklyn is um a great duster brush so it's a very inexpensive brush um super soft and if you don't want to use an old brush because an old brush can scratch surfaces and stuff like that you want to just purchase a dedicated brush um the Brookline is the perfect brush you know for um so let's show this show us the thumb Pro so the foam Pro is this little Gadget right here so just turn it upside down and shake it it doesn't come off so it's pretty cool so it tears up perfectly you know straight um piece of tape so when you're doing um like French doors and you're doing a repetitive Corners you got to have a square corner it's easier just to tear Corners um and put them in using a foam Pro versus sitting there and having to cut them all so like for us we used to sell a tadpole but that you can't get those anymore and it used to have a rubber band that kept it on and they would always break yeah and that just look at that it's crazy it just stays on there and you just you hold it lightly if you want to you can pull out and a little bit extra tack it down and it's going to stay on that roll of tape and it's not going to get lost but it's what's weird is you can um you don't have to you know do that um it's just weird it just stays on yep and um it's a cap it's like a hat it's a cap so that's that's yeah cover what's cover copper is um when I'm doing French doors or whenever I've got to um you know press the tape down because you don't want paint to bleed underneath your tape the copper tool you'll I used to like use a five in one or you can use your fingers but if you're doing it really fast um I've literally burned my fingers before doing it really fast but the copper is Affordable little hard plastic but it it kind of molds to whatever surface you're um running it over and it presses your tape down so no paint bleeds underneath and it's plastic so I'm like a five one it's stuck with a terrier tape there's a lot of time your 5-1 will catch it and tear it the copper it's something easy to just have in your tool bag and it's a pretty cool tool made by painter so it's another four painters by painters so do you want to stand up and model Thrive work where they're sponsoring um of course yeah so you know I get asked every day what paint or pants I wear and the best painter pants in the world are painter pants by Thrive so that's what I've been wearing for years um it's what I got on now so people ask um Thrive work wear thriveworkwear.com um they just randomly sent me a pair years ago I was absolutely Blown Away with them fell in love with them they have knee pads that are removable and our videographers just saved the day on another imagine so um the knee pads now they used to be sewn in and you did you never just removed them now you can actually buy the pants without them put the squished knee pads in them and they do not change shape at all you I I still I put them in and I never take them out and um but um awesome pants [Music] so socket blockers are pretty dang cool they do what they say they do what they say lock the socket yeah the um light switches and sockets I love them they're reusable um you know what you don't throw them away after one use so I keep them in a box they come I buy them on the box yeah they they said that the the adhesive is longer now and so they've made some changes to make it better but you kind of feel like soccer block that kick they're blocking the socket um I guess so so okay and our next sponsor is 180 degree tape oh mine is out and my van so it's a thing that goes on your wrist that holds your tape and it's a great little tool um if you um want your tape with you all times I used to always just keep it in my mouth and then yeah you use the tough Gaff and then the tape the 180 Tape Holder that's a new product and it works and so we're thankful for their support so thank you sponsors without you guys we couldn't have made this course available to our viewers um if you're interested in
