Thread: smears in paint

Tweet

thank you all. like i said before i am new at this. I do not mind all the hand sanding. I have a rubber block with teeth from 3m that is easy to use. Though my husband says my arms are going to end up looking like popeye. lol

It took 3 weeks to a month for the white rustoleum ,I used to dry......before I could wet sand it.When its dry ,the paint will sand like chalk dust,just washing away in cloud of color.If the paper is gumming up or you have to apply lots of pressure,its not dry.

Seems to be a problem still--looked at the new one's lately? Terrible orange peel on a majority of them.

Your joking right.
