Second Coat

Oh boy.  I've just finished the second coat on the tiles, hoping it would finish them, but no chance.  When I first started on the first coat, I used a brush which left streaky marks behind.  So I switched to a foam roller, which didn't leave marks, but only put on a veeery thin coat of paint.

And now I've switched to a mohair roller for the second coat, which is my favorite so far. but hasn't been enough to cover the streaky brush marks or the uneveness of the foam roller.

So it looks like there will definitely be a third coat and (oh God), maybe a fourth.

The weather has been steady rain for the last few weeks and I have to admit the reno enthusiasm is flagging...
