If this was primer/undercoat, then you were simply unconsciously making a start to the process of introducing colour value variation for the coats which will be going on top.

I was priming one batch while sealing another. 🙃Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117445952543844790.post-81506332255936294222018-11-05T07:52:52.720-05:002018-11-05T07:52:52.720-05:00Thanks Mikes, we value your wisdom.

Don't stand up under a shelf that's 6" shorter than you - my learning experience came with stitches in my scalp.<br /><br />It's not clear what went on, perhaps you wished to avoid the true horror to protect the more sensitive among us. But I think you wanted to prime a building in tan but it came out white. On the whole not as bad as it could be.<br /><br />I avoid these errors by only using white primer and never making time to protect my units with varnish!Peter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.com
