  |

|
Just painted the final coat (Dulux Trade Gloss) on my T&G cladded ceiling and have seen a few drips - paint been up about an hour so far.
What is the best way to eliminate? leave to dry and then trim off?

As it's been a while now, dont try to brush them off, it will leave a nasty mess.
Best bet will be to lrt it dry, then use a very sharp blade, a very carefully cut them off.
Then if they are noticeable after, give it another coat of paint but thin very slightly, and don't put as much on!

I decided to use gloss to maximize the light reflectiveness - and I think it looks good actually.
What would your preferred finish for a painted wood cladded ceiling be then?

I think that you had better sleep with one eye open!
