according to paint shed the armstead oil satin is anti yellowing formula but my dulux trade oil satin thats been in workshop for around 5 years has gone yellow shouldn't have thought armstead would stay white longer than dulux dont know albany oil satin has stayed white but crown satin has yellowed doesn't make any sense Albany oil gloss probably been in there couple years no uv and thats still white too dulux has gone completely yellow strange
Its a lovely finish but with any solvent its usually a day to dry. Try some small fan heaters or even a cap full of liquid driers to the actual paint in your paint kettle and this all helps with drying times. Cheers
@@danielnugent2168 havent tried them but the jono's was much better than dulux shinner gloss as well but quite expensive unless you have a jono's account.
It's good as I use to use the Dulux Satinwood but I found it skins over really quick in the tin and you have to keep straining the tin each time. This Armstead is solvent so takes about 6 hours to be touch dry. It has a nice finish.
@@ORGPPL1 I always try and use solvent for interior work as it just performs better than water based. And I use water based for exteriors as for the quick drying part especially in this country the days are never consistent
can't beat oil based even if it yellows your've still got a durable finish that last forever. water based paints will chip pick up dirk and grease like crazy over the years so iv'e gone to using crown oil eggshell on walls and ceilings sometimes cause i know it will 100% washable and last forever as long as you clean it right and the crown oil eggshell and got a the lowest sheen maybe apart from little greene
Typed in Armstead satin , found your video. I am pricing a job , usually use Dulux satinwood but wanted to find opinions on Armstead. Going to try it out, cheers for intel. Lol
@@danielnugent2168 tx110 is good filler. 5kg from selco £27. It's dries quick! It's proper expensive. I tend to sprinkle some onto other powder fillers so they set really fast 😁

It could be the conditions in the house. When people seem to move furniture the gloss is usually yellower where there is no natural sunlight
Armstead is amazing to spray, undercoat is 2hr recoatable and you can spray it on really thick with no sags or runs
I might go over to it permanently as Satinwood by Dulux skins in the tin and breaks up into the paint each time.
Used it for my skirting boards, but took a day almost to dry for one coat, nice finish though

What's this like compared to Dulux Quick Dry Satin? That stayed tacky for ages

@@danielnugent2168 Thanks, appreciate that. I was trying to avoid the solvent smells but I think this is looking like the best choice

@@danielnugent2168 I'll take your advise and won't take the risk, as I needed it for interior doors etc and solvent will be more durable
