Apologies if this has been asked before (i did look!) but what water / paint ratio does everyone use for their mist coats?
Plasterers tell me 50/50 is ok, paint shops tell me it should be 20/80 or 10/90 - am I being overly suspcious in wondering why they're recommending a stronger mix of their product?
Normally I use an 20/80 mix - but if I can make the paint last a little longer by using a weaker mix, that would be good.
I usually find 2 mist coats and one full coat is enough to get a good finish. I leave a day between coats.
Again, thanks in advance for any and all advice offered.
