Had a bit of a nightmare with this stuff the last few days. Basically I
rubbed down a rad, primed it. Then put one light coat of hammerite smooth

Came to re-coat it and started applying paint, not to much not to little
and
it ran like a 3 year olds nose.

I'm no novice decorator but this is my first rad. From the sounds it
sounds
like I am using too much paint for it to run buuuut it doesn't spread
with
any less paint.

...No idea why I think may be rub it down and the rad spray stuff ? very
thin coat after thin coat. At this rate it would have been cheaper to buy
a
new rad and easier.

huff...


I had a nightmare with radiator paint years ago, so just used normal satin
'gloss' recently, which seems fine.

As it gone wrong at this point so letting it dry and then should I jut flat
it with some wet and dry and then top coat with the stuff you recommended ?
2 coats should be fine right ?

Sorry about the million questions never touched a rad before.

Thats said from a google read the satin gloss is as tough as gloss without
the tacky look but the same durable style. Wish new about it a week ago
before I glossed the skirting lol but never mind. I should've done a bit
more research but its been a while since I decorated just usually matt paint
on walls, and gloss everything else. Although I prefer satin finishes but
her in doors prefers gloss, I've learned doing as I'm told equals a peaceful
life
