Paint: Great Mills

Oct 11, 2013 1 Replies

The Leyland I intended to use had all solidified, but there was a gallon of Great Mills silk vinyl emulsion in there. God knows where it came from - c ertainly not Great Mills. Anyway, I didn't want to use it, but realised eit her I tried it then or never would. Be open minded I thought, it might even be good. Was it f. Terrible opacity. The solids settle out rapidly while p ainting. Painting white onto white is going to take 3 coats at this rate. I guess you live and learn.

I used some B&Q paint once. 5 coats (seriously) and the plaster was still s howing through ! I'ts usually Leyland or Dulux which both seem OK. Simon.
