maybe a Dulux/Johnstones/Crown rep (and the rest) might be reading this...
What have you done to our paint? This new VOC 2010 has made eggshell look like a slightly off gloss & messed up the drying times of all solvent-based paints !
It takes 18-24 hours between coats now !

18-24 hrs !!! your lucky, I just painted a set of kitchen units and had to wait 24-30 hours (in a warm kitchen) before I could de-nib.

Not tired the gloss yet.

Gawd yeah.. I first-coated an MDF wardrobe Wednesday lunchtime & I couldnt touch it with 120 grit even late Thurs ! Had Friday off so Im not sure it was even dry by then !
Im charging day-rate from now on !
Bloody meddling enviromentalists have ruined things yet again ..
