Hi please could somebody help me I had a leak from upstairs which I covered with zinsser stain block then painted over with a small roller. I must have added at least 4 coats but the lines are still slightly visible and it’s flashing. Could I just add an undercoat to those lines only and repaint. I don’t really want to do the whole wall. Also maybe the issue is I used the tester pot? Maybe I should try with the original large tin I have some left

We never know what's in the testers pots. It's not always the same formula as the shelf tins..
Maybe what's in the tester don't like going over the stain block
