Hi all, I have been using Johnstone's aqua satin for a while as it seemed the best water based (best of what is a load of rubbish that is!) has anyone found a better one recently please?
Recently used some Leyland Trade water based gloss and was pleased with the results, much improved since the stuff i last used about 8 or so years ago. Available from our host
Thanks for the recommendations guys, I don't have an aardvark but I have a couple of tortoises though, near enough I guess!
My mobile auto corrected the spelling...should have read, ... best I have used so Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!
Recently used Dulux Trade Satinwood in 1 room, usual stuff, skirts, picture rail, paneled doors and some MDF cupboard doors. Really pleased with how the paint flows and finish of the product. Just have to resist the temptation to over work the paint as the 'open' time is so much less than with oil paints Used the Leyland stuff few years ago and didn't get on with it - like painting with jelly ! Although the recipe may well have changed several times by now, as most paint manufacturers seem to have done to counteract the issues using these water based paints As above, have heard good results about the crown fast flow
Dulux Trade Satinwood or Dulux Trade Quick Drying Satinwood? Have to agree with Wayners Dulux Q/D Satinwood is not toooooooooooooooo good, appalling opacity
Was the water based stuff so Q/D yes Most of the woodwork required a fair bit of prep, filling, to get it up looking nice so gave it 2 coats of Leyland acrylic undercoat primer for a nice solid base, light rub down between coats and 2 coats of the above. Have got the oil based Dulux in garage but decided to use the water based.
