Hi Everybody,
Quite new here and want some advice.
Haven't really done much decorating in the past and have followed some old posts here with regards to decorating my newly plastered living room.
So, I bought some Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt and watered in down 4 parts paint and 1 part water.
Have rolled this on to my skimmed walls (plaster dried), although I watered it down it still came out quite thick.
I painted this first coat about 3 hours ago and I may be being paranoid but I seem to be able to scrape it off with a finger nail if I apply enough pressure.
Am I being paranoid as it hasn't properly dried yet? Or will it toughen up with a second coat?
Thanks for any comments which will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Simon.
