Comments (17)Would you mind sharing why you have a paint crush on the Break-through by PPG?? ProClassic satin (Extra White) is actually gorgeous and I love it. But BM Advance and SW ProClassic both take hours in between coats. My son, Jake, is doing the painting for me while he's home from college for the summer and he prefers to spray early morning and let it dry overnight. He's sanding between coats of primer and first coat of finish because the cabinets are old with rough spots. Sanding between coats helps a lot so it's totally worth the extra work. ProClassic takes a good 14 days to cure out so you can get a feel (literally) for the final finish and color; when it's fully "cooked" I like it a lot. But it's a slow process to get there with both brands (BM and SW) and the first day I didn't care for the chalky finish but that quickly changed as the paint cured. Break-Through is different you can sand/recoat in two hours and cures to final appearance within maybe 2-3 days or so. All of them sprayed, rolled, leveled nicely for us. We are not using a professional grade sprayer, just something we picked up at Lowe's. I have nothing bad to say about the paint BM or SW at all. Break-Through just dries and cures faster. ProClassic satin the is "prettiest" IMO but I'm super critical and it's not enough of a difference to sacrifice the chunk of time it requires to get to that pretty final finish - I just haven't had the extra time to spare with my recent projects so Break-Through has been a good solution. When I spec color for homeowners most painters around here spray lacquer with pro grade sprayers and it's a whole, huge production with masking and paper and tape.... and it stinks. We don't have the bandwidth or space to go that route. With Break-Through you have to wipe up any spills or splatter immediately because once it dries, it's not coming off - kind of wicked and unforgiving in that way....See MoreHelp Solve Mold Issue Likely Related to Bathroom Fans and Ductwork
Comments (12)I'd be inclined to suspect a combination of fan dampers not closing properly and gross overchilling of the bathrooms. Aside and editorial: I'm not a doctor, but I consider anything below about 75 deg F too much change from outdoors for good health in the summer. The hotter your climate, the more critical this is. Seventy-eight or even 80F is ample cooling when the outdoor temp is in 3 digits. It saves significant money on your summer electric bill, too. Overcooling the indoors also makes you more miserable when you go outside, because it inhibits your body's ability to adjust to the heat. As you've seen, overcooling can also cause house problems. If the bathrooms were in the 60-65 deg F range, that's excessive. I've never heard of a bathroom with more than one heating/cooling register. Is the bath that huge??? Try closing off all the vents but one. Leave the doors open when the bathrooms aren't in use. Remove the fans from their housings and check for proper damper operation. Clean the dampers and ducts thoroughly with a brush and vacuum. Lubricate the dampers (if necessary) only with a dry lubricant, such as Teflon or graphite. It sounds like the fans aren't really working all that well. I think that the 14' run to the cap is too much, especially with bends. You need a shorter path to free air. Consider ducting the exhausts straight up through the roof (example). The roof cap will also provide a redundant damper. Use rigid pipe....See MoreChristopher Nelson Wallcovering and Painting
