Sorry if this is obvious but I'm new to decorating. Just opened a new 10l tub of Leyland trade vinyl Matt, it has some yellow oil and a bit of a skin, but the tub states to mix it we'll so I figured it was normal. After a couple of minutes mixing (with a big paddle mixer on a drill) I started painting, and ended up spending most of the time picking lumps off the wall! Seems a bit ridiculous for a brand new tub, but as I say, I've got no experience! Should I take the tub back and get it exchanged or is this expected with a vinyl paint, and I need to try and strain it?
Could be a bad batch or old stock so return it. Does happen sometimes, may have even been exposed to frost.
