Hi, I was putting up some alcove shelving for the first time. Got down to the paint the timber slats (18mm softwood) and used a water based primer. This went on fine. Then as I had some left over matt emulsion from painting wall... (I know, what was I thinking??) Put two coats of that over the top. And i did the same with my skirting. Since been told this was mistake and that I should have used oil based coats of gloss after the water based primer. At the moment it looks fine, no bubble or cracks been 4 days since dry.
Can I expect issues for using the matt emulsion? Is it worth fixing? Can I just paint it over with a gloss finish? Or do I need sand down and repaint primer first. Also is there anything as a water based gloss, that could be put over the matt emuslion atleast on the skirting if not on shelving?
I Have alot of shelves and if possible i would prefer not to have to repaint
Many thanks for any responses.
