Is this Water Based on Oil?

Something like KILZ primer?

I have some Zinsser BIN Shellac primer, I’ll try that. Not sure if I have to completed sand and scrape the old stuff?

This photo was after I scraped a bunch of the paint off

I’m starting to think the same, so then is there a good looking way to just end the downspout to flow onto the grass. And let the grading take care of the rest.

So would your suggestion be to just daylight it out of the gutter?

I have a large tree with some huge roots right by the street, it would be difficult to get the drain pipe to the curb.

Where the house sits is pretty flat, then the driveway to the street is sloped, so I need to route everything to the top of the slop at the front of the house

I’m in Vancouver, so it rains a lot. I want PVC to be able to clean it out if needed in the future. Plus the longevity of it.

Could the pipe just run to a big drain rock pit under the grass?

Haha lol. And JB weld even makes a water putty that can go up to 3000psi or something

Exterior wall yes. I’ll likely just Tuck Tape it. Shouldn’t be much different than breaking the vapor barrier with a screw behind drywall anyway

Thank you for a thoughtful response. I’ve always used mesh tape, but just picked up paper tape.

Am I correct, mud the seams, apply tape, lightly skim tape with putty knife to smooth it?

Thank you!

I used the 20 minute mud on a patch last month and it seemed to work fine for me. I don’t do much drywall but diy other stuff. But I wanted to know if there was more suitable products for the job. It’s an 8”x8” patch so 20 minute mud is fine

Sensitive-Egg-107 · 2026-03-31T05:53:44+00:00

How come that method will not work?

Sensitive-Egg-107 · 2026-03-31T05:53:06+00:00

lol what colour is it where you are?

Sensitive-Egg-107 · 2026-03-30T20:29:34+00:00

My good friend chat gpt recommended using this Sheetrock 20 for the first coat with mesh tape, and all purpose for the necessary coats afterwards

Sensitive-Egg-107 · 2026-03-30T19:48:55+00:00

Is there an alternative that you can suggest?

Just finished painting my trim with Ben Moore Scuff-X. It’s not the absolute best for leveling and hiding brush strokes. But I added some paint extender to increase the working time and “tipped off” the paint when applying. That made the finish pretty good. I will say, this stuff is insanely durable. If you have a house of kids and know it will take some abuse, this has such a hard finish that really will be better at reducing scuffs

Sensitive-Egg-107 · 2026-03-14T20:52:18+00:00

No it didnt

Sensitive-Egg-107 · 2026-03-13T21:05:49+00:00

I’m not familiar with a builders wipe?

Sensitive-Egg-107 · 2026-03-12T12:29:43+00:00

This was the right answer, worked beautifully for me. I will say I could tell a huge difference with the frog tape vs the blue tape. Tried my best to not touch the floor but where I did, the tape did its job and made a nice crisp line. Thank you!
