So Just cruising right along. Just spraying this primer. This is a PVA primer. And this is a really important step to painting uh new drywall or bare uh sheetrocker drywall. You got to seal that drywall to um get it sealed. So your top coat of paint will bond and not actually peel off when you do any masking on it. It's very important. We use a PVA primer and those are specifically to seal the new drywall and seal the texture that's been applied to the drywall. So, don't forget to use that PVA primer. A lot of people try to skip that step and then to save money or go cheap, but that's uh a big mistake. So, we're applying this PVA primer and just um you don't have to apply it too thickly, just a nice thin coat. Uh some people actually water their PVAs down, but we don't water it down. Just using it straight out of the five. And we're applying it and it dries extremely fast. And then we apply the top coat over it the same day. So, I'm continuing to spray right along, getting all dusty and dirty. And this is one type of painting I really don't like doing, but I'm doing it to make this video series. So, hopefully you enjoy it. I've almost got the PVA primer done. And the PVA primer dries extremely fast. And as soon as I get done, we're going to be reloading up the top coat. And I'm going to be spraying the top coat. And that'll be the third part of our video series. And uh if you want to see that part, the third part, just click on my video right here.
