Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys Mark alot of the stuff your saying I'm doing I do heat set the the paints I do agree that I may be over thinning the paint I really dont know what type paint I have several different types createx, folk art, and someother type not sure the name.I've not had any problems up until yesterday until now thats why it so confusing to me. My E-tex seems to go on thick and 3 coats seems like it would be way to much but I'll try it do you sand between coats?.
