We've had our dining room reskimmed and I had a question about applying the mist coat... I did this before with a roller and it was a pig of a job, due to the watered-down paint a lot was spat off the roller, especially when doing the ceiling due to gravity. If I apply this with a brush do we think it will have a negative on the overall finish?

Plastic/dust sheet all the things and wear a paper suit, some of the fancier foam rollers are better at not flinging most of the paint not on the wall but 1st few coats on a new wall are kinda a pain.

Thanks for that, had a feeling it might be a necessary evil. The pain is soon forgotten I guess once everything is finished and looking slick. Noted on the dust sheets, ta.
