A year ago I painted my kitchen walls in PBW Dulux diamond matt and the woodwork in white oil based Satinwood. Within 6 months the woodwork yellowed, very noticable against the white walls, so I'm thinking of painting over it with water based satinwood. Is it okay to do this or will it involve lots of sanding etc.?

Thanks for the information, looks like normal satinwood is a definite no no then. That really is shocking. Only 6 months. Was that Dulux satinwood? I have done a lot of online reading about various paints, and from what I recall you certainly would need to sand down first. I suggest you Google to confirm what I say as I am going by memory of threads I have read.

Or go with the Sikkens oil based satinwood. And live off bread and water for a week to pay for it ...

What I recommend is that you find some wood that you can test on, either some offcuts somewhere, or some skirting in a cupboard that is not normally seen. Paint the test wood, leave for a week to make sure it has cured (hardened), then test to see if it has bonded to the surface. You could try sanding one area, and leaving another unsanded. I have various offcuts which I am using to test the various paints I have bought.
