Dulux satinwood oil paint

[Jayjay007]

So started painting with satinwood and dryed nice 2nd tind on 14 doors and frames, window sills ect dryed like gloss even after a week so cutomer not happy i started to rub down doors . I emaild dulux 3 times had no responce We finished all but 1 door rubbed down. I called dulux on there expensive number when i got trough off hold i said what had happend and the guy said you should have contacted us first you dont need to rub down,i have sent email after email about the problem (dulux):- well we get a lot of emails. He said there was a problem with a batch and that it takes 4 weeks to dry what... Yes u heard right 4 weeks . So trading standers should come in on this as it does say 16 hrs on tin who wants wet unfinished paint for a month. And paint overlaps is not a good finish It has cost me money and labor thanks dulux for not what it said on tin. For you to no it takes 4 weeks to dry means you have known over 4 weeks so why have you not contacted your diy suppyers to print advice lables as update . Is it because people see 4 weeks drying time to finished product they wont buy it

If it wasn't dry, surely you noticed when you started to rub down? It would have come off the wood instead of sand back?

It was dry to touch after a week but dulux said it takes 4 weeks to dry to satin finish. When it looks like gloss

I really like the Dulux Satinwood. Not long been using it but think its great for coverage and the final finish is great. Worrying to read this! What other comparable Satinwood do you use?

Its specified all the time on the large house we do for a builder and yes it can take several weeks to loose its shine depending on what base it is applied over.We find this on all the batches
