Matt on Top of Silk

[mrscalex]

Have made a big mistake by using silk as a guide coat on my ceiling for a final coat of matt. Don't ask...

I now understand that matt doesn't stick very well to silk. Crown hotline advised me to sand it down first. Apart from a being a pain in the b*m and hardly fool-proof if I miss a bit, the paint is brand new and too soft to sand.

Is there some sort of 'isolator' paint or product I can apply? Or should I resign myself to having a soft sheen kitchen ceiling - is it that bad anyway?!

Thanks

Well, kitchen ceilings are probably best in a soft sheen, matt paint is not good with all the steam that will be generated from the kitchen.
