Apply the First Coat (Skim Coat)

the floors. Got our 18-in pan right here or bucket. And this is actually a 5gallon bucket right here that'll hold 5 gallons of paint. We typically fill it up about, you know, a little less than half full. start rolling out of it. This is our extension pole that I'm actually using. And the ceilings are about eight feet high. So, you just want an extension pole that's not too long that'll reach up there comfortably at 8 ft. So, you don't have to do a lot of bending or reaching. And got our uh 3/8 in roller right on here. And um or it's a 18-in roller with a 3/8 inch nap on it. And now we're just going to begin the rolling process. I'm going to show you how we go about rolling these walls fast. You just start up just by loading up your roller. And if you haven't got it all loaded up, you just want to get it all loaded up with paint and then begin the rolling process. And now I'll show you how I actually roll these walls. So to roll a wall with an 18-in roller, it's a little bit different than using a 9-in roller. And this also is a wall. You can see this blue. It's going to take at least two coats of paint. And if you're going to be two coating a wall, it's going to be a little bit different process on your first coat than it is on the second coat. The first coat's basically going to be a skim coat that you want to be thin, but it's going to dry really fast. And I think I can, if I get it on properly, I'll be able to cover it on the second coat with this color that we're using. This is a pretty light white color, but two coats will do it. So, my first coat is going to be a skim coat that I want to dry really fast. If you put it on too heavy, then you're going to have to wait too long before you can do your second coat. And I'm typically when I'm rolling when I'm rolling a wall with that 18-in roller, I get my roller loaded up and then I'm going to set it in the middle of the wall and I'm going to roll up and then down. And that's going to be my first stroke right there. So, the proc is going to be up, down, and then right back up again and down. And then I'll look at it right there. And it's laid out nice and thin, even. There's no heavy spots. Now I'll load up my roller. Once again, you can see how much you can actually cover with an 18in roller with just a couple swipes of the roller. So I'm going to load it up. Get a good loaded up with paint again. And then put it set right in the middle. Up, down, up, down. And I'll look at it. If there's, you know,…
