Hello
I decorated our house about a year ago. I stripped all the wallpaper off the walls and sugar soaped the walls and painted Dulux emulsion straight on. However I've only learned about applying a mist coat, but I want to know why mix with water? Apart from one area in the paint where cracking has occured I've had no other problems. The cracking in this case is like lots if little lines in on the surface of the paint, could this be anything to do with it? Also would it be worth scraping of all the paint and starting again or leave it and see what happens?
Thanks
Phil
