What happens here

Address specific issues on the siding, such as 'wax bleed' (wax hydrocarbons coming to the surface of the paint) and areas of bare wood where paint has peeled. For wax bleed, apply a fast-drying oil-based primer. For bare wood, apply a generous amount of XIM Peel Bond, ensuring it penetrates into the wood fibers. The Peel Bond product is applied by hand-brushing, which is recommended over spraying to ensure deep penetration and excellent adhesion, effectively gluing down any remaining loose paint flakes. The presenter adds a little white paint to the clear Peel Bond to make it visible during application. During this step, the presenter also cleans out the gutters to ensure proper drainage and prevent water from contributing to future paint issues.

Goal: Prepare surfaces for optimal paint adhesion and longevity

oil primer to prime the wax bleed condition which is wax hydrocarbons coming to the surface of the paint which will cause an adhesion issue you know with the paint if you've never heard of that condition i've got a video talking about it and how to remedy it so this is our my last house exterior for the season the weather's cooling down drastically and when it starts to cool down it's a lot more difficult to paint a house in a day or a couple days because the paints don't dry as fast it's hard to mask over the top of paints when they're drying slower stuff so it's definitely slows the process down i'm gonna start um i got a little bit of sanding here i like using a paint eater these discs don't clog up with paint and they sand and grind extremely fast this is a wagner paint eater [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so paint eater makes the sanding grinding paint down really fast feathers the edges of paint nicely so they're not ver is prominent anymore deal with when you paint over it now all this bare wood i'm going to go over it with peel bond has the primer and that will help feather this out you could go to the extent of replacing all this the customer doesn't want to it all comes down to your customers budget what they can afford um this is brick mold and it wouldn't be that difficult to replace it but you know it has to be within their [Music] budget [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] and this is if you've never seen this this stuff looks like wood but this is not actually wood it's like a material kind of like it's a fiber board that has got a stamp imprint wood pattern on it so it's very very brittle when it has water damage to it so you got to be very careful with it and this is one of those cases you can discuss with a customer you know if they want to replace it or just repair it and peel bond it's a good product to you know save the customer money to help glue this blistering back together and i definitely like hand brushing it on versus spraying it on because you're getting it down into the fibers and pores and helping it glue it back together i'm just gonna be very careful not to get it on the footings here so i can just tuck cardboard under there now i can get it up underneath [Music] the lap of the siding to help seal it back up got to get it up underneath both of these laps [Music] here [Music] i always the peel bond actually dries clear i actually put white paint in it just a little bit to give it color because…
