Glossing - Arghhhhh
Damn
I have built a face-frame to replace the door/architrave of my boiler cupboard. Got it silky smooth, primer, 3 layers of undercoat, got that really smooth then affixed the frame to the cupboard. Then the dreaded gloss (oil based, seems far superior to water based, prefer the longer open time). I have many runs and sags despite trying to lay on lightly and laying off each time it still ran when I wasnt looking! I am now faced with flatting this coat down and trying again, only now the frame is attached to the cupboard it will be even harder to sand!!!! Read all the threads on rollers, brushes etc... anyone have any good tips or ideas to share? I hate gloss and next house will be natural wood! Cheers EC |
