paint Durable Matt is such a good #Paint choice for the home, Office, bar, anywhere there is some traffic. Matt surfaces dont refract light evenly, which means your eye can't pinpoint surface imperfections. Ideal on Rough surfaces, badly plasterrd walls, textures. And the durable element makes so much sense Housepainter May 17, 2025, 8:10 AM

paint How to stop resinous knots from staining through the #Paint? Kind of easy but not without its pitfalls. 2 coats of shellac sealer ie Zinsser BIN or clear shellac knotting.
