MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I had a tin (Ronseal) sat about and needed to paint a windowsill and filling in time whilst I can get some plaster.
It says paint right on or you can prep .. so I stripped, sanded mostly down to an undercoat and put on an undercoat (since I had undercoat lying about).
It says leave 24hrs if you recoat and I was a bit lazy and left the windows open for ventilation and ended up with a few pollen/dust ... as I'd decided to do another coat I wasn't that fussed...
Then ... looked like I might be able to get plaster and thought I'd get on a second coat after <24hrs.(14-16?).. it sanded down OK, its warm and lots of air .. so I figured no harm in another coat?
Brush may have been damp - paint not hard? but this started going wrong very quickly ... parts streaking and as its meant to be put on "thick" I over did that... and as it dried I've got a lovely "cracklure effect" ...
Can't decide ... just strip it now? Leave it to harden and sand?
Leave to dry, sand back flat as poss, another coat, see where that gets you.

Hmmm... now I have to wait for it to fully dry... It's not raining so the choice is a speculative 120 mile drive to see if plaster is still at Banbury when I arrive or take a bike out...
