Blotchy finish & impossible to keep wet edge.

“Blotchy finish and impossible to keep wet edge.”

Written on: 02/08/2012 by Lowroller

I have been a professional decorator for 15 years and once was a fan of Dulux. I am now asking, what's going on Dulux? Initially my customer had given me some 'special offer' non trade Dulux paint which was so thin I may as well have been painting with milk! I requested they exchange the paint for Dulux Trade and things went from bad to worse. The paint completely dried within 2 minutes making it impossible to keep a wet edge, even cutting when in, the paint was so 'dry', thick ridges were left by the bristles. I will add that all my equipment is the best money can buy and that I pride myself on achieving the best finish possible, my customer now has walls and ceilings that are so blotchy and streaky I'm ashamed to put my name to the job.
