Whenever I put two coats on a wall, I always cut in twice. I've heard of people that only cut in once and roll two coats. I don't see how this could look all that great. If something needs two coats, wouldn't you say it all needs two coats--and not just the areas the roller can hit? Discuss.

It's like Jack the ripper!
Mudbone... IMO you're never going to top "It's hard to be humble when theres a bumble!Meh... a B+ maybe. Not up to his usual standards.
".You reached the apex with that, and there's nowhere to go but down.
You might as well just start making regular boring posts like the rest of us now.
kinda sad really

I'm guessing either right after JP comes back and tells us all to go F ourselves, or it strays so far off topic that we start talking about mudbone.
But I could be wrong.

i really wanted to avoid this, but this is the reference.
my personal experience with this product did not yield similar results, altho i didnt take photos etc
-perhaps it was another case of inept application
if you bother to look-note how one coat supposedly covers not only bare drywall, but a black mark as well
in fairness, upon further review, he does talk about multiple coats, even using the nectar of the god's.
multiple coats on my project didnt help either. the altra red multiple was inferior to one coat bm aura prime, 1 coat aura finish -in crushed velvet
sorry to wear the whole thing out

for 2 coats I roll first coat in as many rooms as possible. that way the mudd will be sealed better the longer first coat it is given to dry. this way it has a better chance of not flashing. next is cutting then spot prime the mudded drywal repairs if painted the same day.
second coat is cut then roll
or you could spot prime first,cut, then roll first coat.

My particular store has great customer service, thats the only reason I stick with them, I really don't like how SW does things like record profits and yet they still try to stick you 4 times a year with a price increase
however HD customer service is non existent and cant See them meeting my service needs at all

It's nice to see a few other guys like to roll first too.
Not saying it's correct or not...just saying that I pretty much got flamed for mentioning it before...on another board that I won't say the name of CT again.

that's my process for 2 coats. i apply 2 coats for 95% of my jobs. if only doing one coat I cut in first then roll because it might picture frame.
Course you are a self-admitted hack. :whistling2:
This thread has been pretty funny. Never knew there were so many different ways to put paint on a wall. That probably makes me a hack.
