    Hairline cracks appeared in new self leveling

    Yes neat 131. Fball technical didn't say anything about 300 over 1200 or 6mm limitation and neither does any of their data sheets but I know real life may differ...

    Sorting out vanish/stain mistake?

    Another coat directly on top may make the dark patches darker and the lighter patches a bit darker but it may be left relatively patchy still - IMO. You could just try over painting again on top of one shelf as a test (top shelf that may not be seen anyway or just part of a shelf). If you are...

    F&B Estate Eggshell now more glossy!

    Eggshell will loose its glossy appearance when it fully dries. Longer than touch dry. A few days maybe. That has heen the case with oil based in my experience but can not help with water based. Assume you stired full before use.

    varnish over paint?

    Hopefully they will never get too wet or damp as the mdf will swell. you could varnish with any oil or water based varnish over the paint but it will be an added expense and may change the colour slightly. You mab be better off re coating with the FB paint if you still have it and keep for...
