Dulux Trade Quick Dry Gloss - Review 

Tried arrow worthy brushes this week, omg! That was a top tip! Thanks 😊 Had a job with a Dulux gloss, thought I'd be out in a day ( 2 hrs journey time, plus train fares)...really let me down. I know the drying time is there for a reason...but I thought it couldn't be true and I'd get away with it. .4hrs later it was still sticky and couldn't recoat til next day. That one cost me.. 2 days instead of one, plus fares... It was only a little job! Weren't allowed to use oils there, and the first time I'd used it. Live and learn! Thanks for the vid 👍

That's exactly what we think mate. That's why we stopped using it. Great videos mate 👍

No Phil, I get you I fully respect you. You have a world of knowledge that we all need to learn from.👍

Great video again Phil. If I’m honest I steer clear of all gloss paints unless I’m working on exteriors

I tried this a few years ago, rang dulux up and queried why it pulled so quickly, they gave me a free voucher for a replacement 2.5l tin, i now have 5l of paint i probably wont ever use !!

Well usually I will use the johnstones aqua but it’s getting difficult to get at the moment where I live so have been using the Dulux quick dry, for me its on a par with Johnstone but not quite as good but also it doesn’t kill your brush either! On doors I found first coat rolled and second rolled / laid off (if needed) and it gives a great finish no issues… as with most water based you need a decent coat get it on and leave it… yes it’s thinner a little than johnstones but for water based it’s up there in my top 2/3 that I’ve found any good. Sprays well as well 👍

Commented on another vid about the Dulux quick drying < 😭 ahem gloss, still wet 40 mins later warm room,my preferred paint is dry in 10 mins, she bought before i got job & it's like somebody had emptied a tube of bathroom silicone in the tin, it had an elasticity to it & just never flowed, horrid stuff, i normally use Leyland Acrylic primer u/c over old oil paint adheres well followed by the Leyland Hardwearing Eggshell which is 10x tougher than standard paint, i did the walls in open plan kitchen / Lounge last week with this too along with woodwork as she wanted something washable & scrubbable as she has two little monsters that rampage, Leyland is a good paint that out performs some of the much more expensive brands & a shout out to Decorating centre online who colour mixed said paint to a FB colour match at £50 for 5Litres Bargain & ☆☆☆☆☆ service

The undercoat paint smell reminds me of Hammerite. I had to double check it was water based!

Hi Phil, another great video. It's a shame about dulux as it's so easy to get. Today I used allcoat exterior satin on some yellowed skirting and two coats with an hour recoat, it looked great Job done. Dulux have got a lot work to do to catch up. It's only going to be used by the DIY market.

Interesting. Would you be happy using Zinsser 123 as the undercoat rather than the Dulux undercoat? Ta.

Phil,......new to your channel and love ya videos mate, really informative and helpful, I have the same thoughts on this water gloss but it's a good one if your spraying, but please please recommend a good water base white gloss to brush. Cheers Kev

Johnstone Aqua gloss all the way. Wipes the floor with this. Dries quick yellows a little over time but it's close to oil based.

I don't know why paint firms are making such a big claim with 2 coats in a day unless your doing a 12 hour day 6 hour recoat time is next day

With you on this Phil, it pulls back on sharp edges, and looks like you've glossed over old gloss, certainly in the first one, the second coat feels like glossing over gloss with the old oil based. As for the smell, I thought exactly the same, it reminds me of some spray on window cleaning fluids for some reason. The sheen is decent, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Great fair review many thanks 👍👍

I think body is the thickness of the paint, oil tents to be thick and smooths out any sharp edges. Just gives it a thick layer I think

Reason why i like using an oil based gloss

I'm thinking of going Johnstones Aqua Guard, is that on your product test list?

Good job Phil, loving these Doris the door videos, are you going to do crown fast flow gloss the future

Phil Do you think Dulux quick dry is better than the crown fast flow gloss? I recently did a whole house using the fast flow gloss system and I thought it was lovely paint to use and looked good. I’ve just started a job and we are using the Dulux quick dry system and I have a load of panel doors to do as well. I only started the undercoat yesterday and did one door side and some skirting and frames. I will have to see how the gloss goes 😬

You seemed a bit down in this one Phil, I hope you and your family are well. All the best 👍

i didn't like it, wouldn't flatten off left too many brush marks :)

Hi Phil, great video, thanks. I need some help. I am new to painting and have had some problems with Dulux once gloss which i used on all my doors, window frames and skirtings but within a few months its already turned yellow and lost in brilliant white as my flat does not get much sun light. I was advised to get a water based paint and have tried this quick dry gloss and found it be very light and runny. I have only done some re paint work and am trying to find out what is the best water based white gloss paint to use that wont turn yellow. Please help if you dont mind. Much appreciated! Thanks

I don't know why but if you try paint over fine surface filler with Dulux's quick dry undercoat it just blows which is pretty disappointing

Great videos! Have you had any feedback from the Dulux reps yet?

Hi Phil, just wondering did you ever use Sayerlack waterbased paints and if so what did you think. Thanks

Will I need to use the undercoat if painting straight over old gloss?

Smells like that glue that has a fishy smell to it usually used for sticking insulation to a loft hatch if I remember rightly

Hi Phil fantastic channel, I think you are having trouble because they are hybrid paints

And this is why , unless it’s exceptional circumstances , I stick to oil base .quick drying is not quick drying in my honest opinion

Get a league table going Phil let's have some relegation battles

Zinnser coverstain dries quicker, and thats oilbased. 🤪 (as an undercoat)

Crap gloss paint keeps running when drying you can paint the runs out but they come back again again and again, also patchy gloss finish. Phil check that finish after an hour and you should see runs…….😂😂

If you think this is poor try the cheaper Amstead quick dry gloss for a laugh..

All paint is crap nower ! days
