We use oil-based gloss on timber paint needed for as many jobs as possible unless the customer asks for a water-based gloss! Oil is the old gloss we used to only available until a few years ago with the strong smell that covers the whole home for a couple of days, only able to get 1 coat gloss per day because of the drying time frame and depending on the manufacturer of paint depending on the time it looks good before going a bit yellow looking! Water-based gloss is not smelly at all and quick drying so you can get 2 coats on in the day if wanted! I believe oil gloss is still the best and longest-lasting plus more hardwearing if areas are knocked up somewhat! High gloss very shiny satinwood gloss not shiny but not dull mid-sheen is middle of the other two! Eggshell is your better bet I have to say! To get the best results read the information on your gloss paint tin plus Google YouTube extra information if you need or want!

I think sulus wick dry gloss is the best to use as it basically does what it says on the tin. 
Literally does what it says.
The only other one I wold give a chance to is sandtex gloss paint, dry quick also but leaves a really great shiny finish to surface

Terry · Answer

Sulus once is a nice gloss to use and goes on nice and flat
