Note that Sikkens do two versions of Satural, one oil based which I used and which does not yellow in six months (supposedly not after many years) and the other is water based, which you used. I think it is the linseed oil in 'normal' oil based paint that is the main problem.

But as you have found water based paints are getting better. That Ronseal paint has a very nice finish. But I was unable to apply it without runs, probably my lack of experience. Perhaps I should have used the Sickens Rubbol BL.

Oh, and to the OP, if you do use oil based paint, get yourself a Brushmate, they are a complete god send. I have been painting for a couple of months now, and have not cleaned any brushes used with oil based paint. Also get good brushes. There are some brilliant deals on Purdy brushes in packs of ~5. Good brushes DO make a difference: better finish, no bristle loss.

Same company of paint as you....To me it went on easily. no runs and yes, i got the Purdy brushes too :D

I have now got some purdy brushes and suitable rollers for water based paint. I have now gone onto ultimatehandyman and asked the same question. Waterbased paint it is then but which make?
