Hi there,
I am in the process of decorating our living room.
We have a wooden fieplace which we have sanded and applied two coats of primer leaving a couple of days between coats. After leaving the second coat to dry overnight we started to apply and eggshell finish.
However, the finish seems to be going on rather oily and not sticking. We used the same sand/primer (1 coat)/paint combination on our skirting and picture rails with no problems at at, although both had been previously painted.
I would like to know if anyone has had similar problems and what I might be able to do to resolve. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
cheers
