Hello. I'm doing some painting at home with Dulux Diamond Satinwood waterbased paint!
Runs and drips everywhere! I made sure I wasn't putting too much on and spread it/covered it well. Some research suggested using a low stock brush which I have now done. I'm now using Purdy Monarch Elite XL brushes with it and it is much better, but it's still not a perfect flat finish like solvent based, there are still some runs.
Can anyone offer me any advice on this? I've got a bit more to do where I could try some tips. I would like to master water based paint, but if it becomes too much hassle, the next room may see a return to solvent based.
Thanks.
