I haven’t used a conditioner, but I found that using a high-quality natural bristle brush really helped with my application. It seemed to distribute the paint more evenly, which cut down on the lapping marks. Maybe give that a try before adding anything extra to your paint?

I’m all about keeping it simple and eco-friendly, so I’ve been experimenting with the paint’s consistency by adding a bit of water. It thins the paint just enough to help with application and reduce marks. Just be careful not to overdo it, or you might affect the paint’s coverage.
I’ve heard about the conditioner trick too, but I’m a bit hesitant to mix anything into my eco-friendly paints. Instead, I focus on my technique—working in smaller sections and keeping a wet edge. It takes a bit more time, but it’s been effective for me.

Using a roller with a thicker nap might help. It holds more paint and can give a more even coat, which could reduce lapping marks. I switched to a thicker nap roller for my last project, and it made a big difference in the finish.

I think the key is in the prep work. Making sure the wall is properly primed and smooth before painting can prevent a lot of issues, including lapping marks. I use a natural primer that’s compatible with my eco-friendly paint, and it’s worked wonders for me.
