Floetrol is your new best friend. This bottle of paint conditioner will cost you about $10 and last you about 10 years. You add just a few tablespoons to a gallon of paint. This conditioners make the paint dry slower…that is right, slower. The faster paint dries the more stroke marks. The paint hasn’t had time to let gravity do it’s job and smooth out the wrinkles.

Floetrol also adds a smoother in the paint that helps reduce brush strokes too.
