That's about it, really. For perfection, thin, thin thin coats and a decent
trade paint.

Totally agree with the thin coats bit, and indeed I did try to lay on
thin but as I tried to do this I could see areas that were not being
covered by the gloss and so I added more paint - my downfall, I guess
it would have flowed out by itself.

I will leave it to dry for a week and then flat as you suggest and
then try the 'lay on with foam roller, lay off with brush' technique.

Love woodwork, hate paint
