  1. I’m painting corble/brackets for a portico so it’s a relatively small project. I didn’t think the smell was so bad. The dried paint smells oddly sweet. My issue is the brushstrokes won’t lay down

    1. I need help with the same brush stroke issue. I am primer kitchen cabinets and I did a test patch and the very expensive paint does not fill in the brush strokes. I have even sanded a bit to see if that helps, but seems counter intuitive if I need the bonding power. Help.
