Painting An Exterior FAST! Done in 2 days with 1 Painter.
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
