Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I had a Screwfix voucher about to expire and I went and bought... Dulux. Oh, well, your advice will leave me prepared for it! Derek

We're having a couple of new windows fitted shortly. Afterwards, I'll paint the new internal woodwork white. After priming, I'm trying to decide between several types of gloss... Crown quick dry gloss. I've used this before. I quite like it, though I did find it hard to avoid brush marks. I am...
