Hi there
I have started to decorate my hall, landing and stairs and have 11 door liners/architraves and around 30 meters of skirting to paint!
I have done a lot of decorating in my time and always work to a high standard of finish.
my usual method is to sand, two coats of undercoat (sanding between coats) then a high quality oil based satin to achieve a good quality finish.
My current house is only two years old and now requires redecorating due to cracking and shrinkage so the woodwork is in great condition.
My question is:-
Are water based satins as good as oil based?
I have two young children and need a fast drying satin that will also withstand knocks from the odd fire engine and Barbi coupe.
Thanks in advance...
