Oil is not what it once was with new Voc levels oil based paints have not been able to keep up and personally think they are no good.
Mainland Europe has been water based for many many years and water based paints are so advanced now they are far superior than oil based paints.
Drying times, coverage, durability, resistance, finish, adhesion you name it there are water based products which are loads better than oil based.
We in the U.K. are only just waking up to water based products.
People hate them here because they don’t know how to use them correctly.
There are good and bad products like with everything so because there might have been some one who had a problem with a water based product doesn’t mean they are all rubbish.
Here is an example. I’m holding idigbo in my hand which has a stain blocking water based product only one thin coat few days dry now and there is no bleeding.
The timber on the floor which I’ve used to place my painted items on is also idigbo. I used a internal paint primer which has no tanning and you can see the overspray onto the idigbo has gone bright yellow.
This just a example how a water based product from Germany has the ability to fully block tanning. Where as I’ve been told by many water based is no good for hardwood windows it eventually goes yellow gotta use oil based. Not true just gotta find and use right products for the job
