Thank you for making a course that I’ve been searching for years!
Quote from Ylber Gashi on 5th August 2024, 6:51 pmThank you for a great course! I found it on Facebook in the nick of time. The same day I was about to paint I got your advert on facebook. It was God sent! (Or the algorithm;)
I made a mess of the first layer of paint on my 32 foot Westsail sailboat I had to grind the mess from fall last year to this summer. What I learned from your course, resulted in a hundred times better finish this time on the second layer!!
I got such a good result, that I am starting to believe that I can get a perfect glass result with a brush, on the last, third stroke. Wich I did get in smaller areas, details this time!
Though it is obvious that a roller would be much easier, especially on the hull. But now I have started to really master the brush and I don’t have experience with the roller. Is it liable to paint the hull with a brush?
Small questions:
The 2 Part Epiphanes I’m using has a very Expensive thinner, can I use any thinner for rinsing the brushes?
Do you have good Ideas for lighting? I am having issues seeing well, painting creamy white.

I would personally favour a roller over a brush but if you are currently getting good results with a brush then I wouldn’t change your technique for the last coat.
Although the Epifanes thinner is expensive, I wouldn’t use anything else for mixing with the paint. Other thinners are fine for wiping down and cleaning but for paint thinning I’d stick with a good quality thinner.
For lighting I usually use a video soft box light. Position it so that you are working looking into the light bouncing off your surface and you will see every little detail
