  • Curtaining. Where you apply too much paint and it slumps before drying. Very common mistake and prevalent on skirting, door panels and flats inside cupboards.

    Using eggshell with little rollers is an decent option. You can roll gloss and then lightly brush it out, that's how a lot of pro gloss work used to get done.

  • Strangely heartening to know it has a name :)

    Will stock up on roller sleeves as in theory the whole house needs at least another coat.

  • I find the Dulux Satinwood to be quite a fine balancing act - too thin and it doesn't have a nice finish, too much and it curtains. Also if you leave it more than 20 seconds you can't brush it out because it's already begun to dry.
    Sometimes I seem to get the knack, other times I'm out with the sandpaper taking it back to a smooth finish.
