Rant time.

Just spent the best part of a morning trying to paint 6 feet of skirting board and one door frame with B&Q's own brand undercoat. My advice is never buy this paint. It spreads like jelly, is very difficult to cut in and it dries in seconds so if you don't get it right first time, forget it. It's a low odour solent based undercoat which shouldn't be allowed on the shelves. I've only used a small amount but it's going straight in the bin.

Rant over.

Write to b&q you will get a nice letter & maybe a voucher. All thats required is a polite letter of complaint. Beleive it or not it will be welcomed.
 
Own brand stuff is largely krap
 
B&Q- indoor, quick dry, satin, antique pine varnish.
Lovely stuff. ;)
