Silicone and Gloss

How do mean lumpy? Silly question...did you brush down the sanded skirting after wet&dry?

Yes i did. I washed it down and also used tack cloth to remove any particles george. I think its more brish strokes I can see. The gloss I find is difficult to put on as its quite stodgy on the brush after a while. Can I thin Dulux brilliant white trade gloss down.

Is the gloss non drip? I never use this I alaways purchase the Liquid gloss,when using liquid gloss I tend to warm the tin up beforehand and it goes on a lot better and if warmed slightly and a GOOD brush will eliminate brush strokes. I havn't a clue why its stodgy? unless its out of date?

Its just me I think. Brushes are Purdy, gloss is trade in date. Its liquid gloss. Like I said its the way I am putting it on I think. Is there an art to putting it on?

Lol,well Sammy you're a woman I dare say you now how to put your make-up on so whats the difference with paint. ;-)

Hey I dont put that much on. I am not your missus lol

Liquid gloss works very differently to non-drip. The idea of non drip is to be able to put on more paint in one coat. If you put the same amount of liquid gloss on, it will run and look "lumpy". So put less on, and brush it out.

You put very little on, then brush it out evenly as far as it will go, in a thin layer, before putting on more paint. Two thin coats are better than one thicker one.

There most definitely is a technique, an art, in applying gloss. The best I manage is when I brush out the paint before recharging the brush. Careful to get an even, not-too-thick coat. On timber, generally follow the grain of the underlying. Both underbrushing and overbrushing are not good. Try to keep a wet edge - don't go back over when it has started drying out.

The technique is basically how good you're at manipulating the brush. This technique is also similair when applying paste to the wallpaper.
