Could you provide some pictures please? Thank you so much. This has been very helpful. We definitely wish to settle and get these people out of our life. They are trying to charge us interest on late… 7 14707 Hi, Have used the Dulux 1 step, oil base on my walls(white set), out of can it’s already a more thinner product than a final coat paint Also in water base Water or… 3 5256 yeah i couldnt picture it issue either, but i could clearly picture what they were doing wrong haha 2 5430 |
