    Hi,

    I like the water based shed / fence Ronseal paint etc. But I'm wondering should I use something that lasts longer ?

    But does painting gloss on outdoor wood make it rot quicker ? I heard once that outdoor wood needs to breathe so water based only

    Your thoughts ?

    I heard a good one from a professional painter.

    Paint facia with fence life etc then paint a layer of yacht varnish over it. Sounds like a very good idea.
