      You did a excellent job ty for sharing. I got some painting to do but those fumes get to me badly. Seems like the mask hardly do any justice. If you know any mask that can tone the smell down while wearing them please let me know. Ty in advance!

      Adding water to the paint per se is not bad since the paint contains water (from the name itself, water-based 😆). Do you mean not to add more water? She used 10% water, should she have put 5% add instead?
      When you said "reduce". I believe you cant use lacquer thinner, or paint thinner to a "water-based" paint.
      You can add "Floetrol" to ensure none of brush marks left behind

    The wood grain popped up like that because of the water you added into the paint. It caused swelling in the wood. Reduce or don't add the water and then it won't have the grain raise up plus you won't have to apply so many coats. Hope that helps everyone. It turned out beautiful.

      She didn't remove original finish and then put 2 coats of shellac on it before painting. Seems unlikely the water would have seep into the grain. The grain was likely already raised from long term exposure to humidity.

    The degreaser spray and a scuffing pad to start as a “ wet sand “ ( would have taken the same amount of time with a better prepared surface ), wipe it down with a clean damp rag. A can of rust oleum primer and a can of rust oleum topcoat and you would’ve been finished by lunch. The paint would last for 20 years.
