Dilute Emulsion?

Aug 23, 2003 5 Replies

I've mended some brick and plasterboard walls with Polyfilla and joint filler and I want to paint before I hang paper (to make it easier to get the paper off later).



Can I water the paint down for this purpose?



Cheers in advance to anyone who can help.

Yes, you can. It'll also have the benefit of showing up the bits you might have missed.

You can buy pre-watered down emulsion. It is called B&Q emulsion.

I just bought some cheap B&Q emulsion for the under coat for a crackle glaze effect. It certainly was not watered down, more like rubbery porridge. Ugh. Suzanne

Does the weight of the paint have any bearing on its quality or coverage?
