I had a post a while back regarding my dulux gloss (oil based) yellowing within a week so on the advice of my local dulux decorator center i switched to satin wood (oil based) which also desided to yellow. After a few phone calls to dulux i recieved a voucher for Sikkens rubbol BL satura. I took...

Legaly im not sure, but in my personal oppinion if i had to buy my own tools to carry out/ keep my job i would, as id rather have a job to go to than have nothing atal. Also i have found that if you buy your own equipment you tend to look after it more. This is only my oppinion but i know i...

Got the Sikkens...... and i have just applied it to one side of a door to test it out and i must say i do like it...... you really do have the play of an oil based paint, is alot easier to apply than the dulux acrylic primer also..... i have just applied it to one door so i havent exectly got...

dcdec, the guy in the dulux decorater center was bullshitting, sikkens satura bl is not discontinued, the guy at the head office couldnt understand why he said that to me, so he called him himself and now the paint im ment to be getting will be here tomorow or Thur. Couldnt complain about the...

I am fumming again because of dulux again...... why give me a paint for external use, why state a satin finish on the tin and a gloss finnish online........ all the woodwork is primed up ready for a top coat of satura BL and i get something compleatly different...... delay delay delay!!!!

Looking on the sikkens website, the number to contact them on is the same number i have to contact ICI paints, ( i know its the same company) it will be the same dep ill be calling

Yea same guy that told me that yes, i am contacting dulux tomorow and if they tell me its not discontinued i shall be getting them to contact the branch i am using as i am fed up with them to be honest.

I can find it on many websites for sale but thats not to say its not stock that they still have, really i want to find out if the guy at the dulux center is fibbing and if he is.... why.... and why has he given me this as an alternative..... Also this is odd..... on the sikkens website it...

Previous thread was locked due to going off topic. dc dec i have a question for you, i collected my paint at 4.45 this afternoon to find out that, Sikkens rubbol satura BL has been discontinued aparantly, so the guy in the Dulux center has told me. instead he has given me Sikkens Cetol BL...

sounds good dcdec, im shatterd like, i have sanded all the hall and wet/ dry sanded both sides of 5 doors, 2 more doors to do tomorow then i can paint for a bit...... sikkens bl arrives monday so ill get all the prep done in the mean time so i can get the house back to some normality.

RMS, the reason the inside of a cupboard yellows quicker is because there is no/ less UV light (Sun/ daylight) keeping the paint nice and white. To provent this use water based. well i will get a start to applying the water based primer tomorow as i have just sat down from sanding since this...

Thank you very much dc dec, i think i have come to the conclusion also never to go near oil based again.... dulux oil based anyway, i plan to apply an acrylic undercoat then apply the satura and hopefully i will have the finnish i am looking for. The satura arrvies on Monday so time will tell, i...

I have decided to stear clear of oil based at the moment as it has compleatly ruined the two rooms i have done. I have been offered a tin of sikkens rubbol satura BL (water based), after speaking to a few painters they have suggested i should apply a acrylic undercoat before i apply the...
