Hi.Hope you can help.
Iam in the process of paintig newly plastered flats and a massive stairwell.All the walls were first coated with whits emulsion, then a coat of magnolia.Now i am finishing off with another coat of mag.The problem is that when you look along or up the walls there are black shadows resulting in what looks like a mess.Iam rolling out in metre sections and have tried both short and medium pile rollers (Hamilton).Some of the walls are 12 feet high so its difficult to roll quickly.I just don't seem to get a good flat finish.
Any ideas and advice

This is a new one on me, black shadows, unless the new plastering is uneven which these days, and I am not criticising your plasterers, is not uncommon.
You never said if you thinned the first coat of emulsion if not it could cause uneven absorption.
Interior lighting can play tricks on the eye, try and view your work in daylight only.
Hope this is of some help
Yours
