I'm better at plumbing than I am at painting
Three days ago I put 2 coats of Wickes blue vinyl silk on my bathroom walls on top of mid sheen. The paint had been sitting around a while but looked and smelled to be in good condition, although had separated somewhat (it had never been opened). I stirred it up vigorously using a paint stirrer in a drill. All looked to be good so I applied 2 coats, one on one morning one the next.
I left it for 2 days with the heating on and it was ventilated for 15mins every time someone used the loo.
Yesterday evening I went for a long shower and there was condensation. I noticed that in parts, the paint had gone the lighter blue it was when it was wet - it appeared to have 'un-dried'. In these areas the paint was very soft and I could scrape it off with my fingernail, roll it up and it looked and felt exactly like blu-tak. This morning the paint is dry again and is stuck fast to to the wall.
What has happened and what can I do to remedy this problem?
Some of the paint is on Artex and in tricky corners so will be impossible to get off. Should I seal it with some sort of product so the water can't get to it? It appears to be normal vinyl silk when there's no water on it.
