video, we're going to go over the exterior painting and the prepping process we go through prepping peeling wood and some blistering siding that are common issues here in Boise. In this process, we're going to be using a painters 5 in1 tool. We've got a painters wire brush or a barbecue brush you can get at Sher Williams at Home Depot. We actually use in our prepping process Shermax um lifetime warranty caulking from Sher Williams. The primer we use is XIM peel bond um primer. It's a latex based primer. And we've got a 2 and 12 gallon bucket uh brush here, a 3-in brush that we use for applying the primer. We've got a Wagner paint heater. This paint heater has a grinder on it that actually is designed for peeling paint that actually feathers the edges and knocks off any loose paint. And um we've got a cocking gun right here, a dripless cocking gun with teeth on it. We like them with the teeth and we like them dripless. And we've got a ladder just in case we need a ladder to reach up high places. Over here on this door jamb, we have some peeling paint. That's pretty common with uh these wood door jambs. And in this process, we go through, we actually take our painters five in one tool first, and we're going to scrape off all the loose paint on the door jamb first with a five in one tool. Once we get all the loose paint uh knocked off, we actually take our Wagner painting. We actually use this paint eater to then knock off and sand any any paint, feather any edges. We also like to round the corners of the trim and make it look a little bit nicer. Once we get it all sanded and looking nice, we use our cocking to coaul any cracks. We've already done the cocking on this door jam right here. We apply cocking. We actually use the Shurax lifetime cocking on all the nail heads. We've applied cocking to every nail head on the house also. And once we've done the coauling that process, we also got some blistering um siding over here on the side. We use our wire brush here. And then we actually scrape all this blistering off and knock any loose paint off with our wire brush. And there's a lot of blistering under each one of these laps on the siding that we actually try to loosen and get any loose paint off with this wire brush. Once that's done, we actually grab our peel bond primer. We did begin the application process of putting our primer on with a brush here. We apply primer to any bare wood, any compromised siding, any blistering. So, we're going to go along. We're going to apply the peel bond. And wherever we apply it, we actually apply two coats. It'll dry fairly quickly. And we apply a second coat. We also apply it under each lap of the siding here where there's blistering. So, we apply a liberal coat of primer under each lap. Once that's done, it's dried, then we actually back brush a coat of paint prior to actually spraying the paint on the siding. And this is the exterior prepping process when it comes to blistering and peeling paint that BNK painting goes
