I've been experimenting with a few things and the AG. Ok, so what I've found is it performs best with the Aqua undercoat, it flows and spreads a lot better on top of the UC rather than straight onto anything else. As for the pulling, I think perhaps it can pick up on a primed only surface, then...

This is what I have a partial roll of...

I'll take a photo tomorrow and show you what what I mean.

Some time ago I bought a roll of felt for something, it has (flatish) stone chippings bonded to it. I can't find it again anywhere. Does anyone know what I'm referring to and where I might get it?

Sounds like I'll be ok then.

Let me guess, they came from Check a Trade?

None is acceptable when paying a professional. Possibly lack of prep and incorrect roller nap and yes possibly the application was too thick.

Looks like the paint has cracked, which will mostly cause the paint to flake off after the winter.

With most woodwork paints there is a significant saving to be made if buying a 2.5L can over a 1L can. Do you think it'd cause any issues with the paint if decanting some from the 2.5L into a 1L can which was recently used? Holding a 1L can would be far easier whilst painting!

Some chicken kievs, breaded chicken for a quick fix and some coffee.

Usually a back up battery failing causes that bleep every 30 mins or so.

Back to painting the house today. Revisited the loft hatch after sanding it back last week and undercoating it, two inch Sprig it painted ok. Was some pulling which again was odd, but dipping the brush in water helped. Did some of the primed woodwork in the hallway in the undercoat and to be...

I would always say, with things such as this, decide if you want the house or not. It may seem like a big issue right now, but it really isn't. So otherwise if you like the house and the area, don't worry too much about it.

I still can't get over it, I'm stumped.

Ok, AG went on fine today over the UC, really I was just trying the UC out of curiosity, it applied and went on just as it usually did for me before, so no idea what happened yesterday. Did a small section of skirting, went on fine, came back later, it curtained/ran, too late to brush it out...

I've flat the frame back and popped out to get the Aqua Undercoat. It applies wonderfully, smooth lovely flow. It's drying off and already looking very good. If only they can make a top coat which flows as nice. We'll see what the AG goes on like when I can.

Don't fancy using anything oil based, I shouldn't have to, this should just go straight on. I've sanded the frame back and will put some Aqua undercoat on and see how it goes from there. Strange as I did another room which had old oil based paint on it, all I did was flat it back and it went...

Not confident at the moment to try and roll it on. What I'm going to do is park the loft hatch for now and concentrate on the door frame, so I'll sand the frame back down today, but then I'll try the Aqua water based undercoat and see if that aids flow. Some research online suggests it can aid...

Did a door frame after, paint pulled, curtained, pulled. Strange, very strange. I'll have to sand that back and start again. Might go back to the Dulux if that happens again.

I just tried to brush on some Aqua Guard onto my loft hatch, it's had some nasty reaction, just started bubbling and pulling - so I've stopped, tomorrow I'll sand it back and think of what to do. It was previously painted with oil based paint, sanded down and had two coats of Joncryl, exactly...
