But isn't bully liner meant to be water based with no nasty smelly solvents.? I thought you were just meant to be able to wash up brushes and rollers in hot soapy water ? Unused paint stays fresh in the tin unlike protectakote.

I used a roller on the main floor too I would say get a good quality brush for the arches etc,cheap brushes will shed bristles that’ll stick in the paint.

aah, I'll try that obviously but otherwise I think acetone should do the trick.

Surely it come with some instructions on the tin with regards to preparation, application and clean up  ?.... I thought that was pretty much standard these days.

I scuffed the van floor with sandpaper gave the Protectacote a good stir so the bits were even and applied it after also giving it and good clean and Hoover from sandpapering,gave it a coat one Saturday morning and then another that same evening. It looks just as good as speed liner when it’s done although it’s not as hard wearing you need to touch up well used areas  every 12 months or so if you feel it’s needed.
