Evening All
Having a frustrating experience at the minute. Looking for advice please.....
Painting white contract matt emulsion (Leyland from Toolstation) over previous matt emulsion. Having spent a very long time meticulously repairing the walls imperfections, I now find that the finished result after three coats of the white stuff is covered in what looks like veins. This has the appearance of fine cracks in plaster but is proud of the surface.
I am a DIYer but have done plenty of painting over the years with no issues. I've just bought a radial sander (swivel head sanding disc on an extending pole) with the intention of sanding all of the walls flat before painting with a fourth coat. Don't really want to be doing this but the finish betrays the level of fastidious preparation that was done beforehand.
What may have caused this to happen? I don't want a repeat in the next room.
Cheers
