About two months ago I did all the glossing in Crown brilliant white. It is now yellowing and I am very pissed off. I did the bathroom walls and one door in brilliant white bathroom and kitchen emulsion. It is still brilliant white. If I went over the glossing with the emulsion would it be okay.
Taa
what'cher mean OK?
You won't damage anything.
Whether it will look better, only you can decide.
It won't be as hard wearing and will wear off relatively quickly

Best to give up heavy smoking then
I thought they had admitted they had had a problem with it. Contact them?
Dulux not Crown.
Nobody smokes in the house ..

Soooooooooo, it won't slide off the gloss or react with it then?
Can't be arsed. But yes and thanks.
How would you make it stick and no, it never used to work, the oil just came through unless paint technology has changed in the last 15 years which is unlikely!

He needs a vat of liquid paper!
Back in the 80s where I worked got hold of some wonderful paint which claimed to remain white for 5 years, it was a two coat product, but cannot recall what it was called. It was UV stable apparently. Brian
Well it won't stick well thats for certain.. Brian
That did cross my mind as well. However I never did like Crown Paint.
The answer of course is to paint everything yellow.
Brian
So did they flog the rest of the dodgy stuff to Crown then?
Brian
It won't slid of immediately, no.
but it might in a year or two.

Better than two months.
I needs to try it! I have always taken a dare. I will keep you informed.

Sand the surface then use undercoat before painting final coats.
From the link: In contrast, rival Crown Paints put on some of its tins: "Recent changes made to meet the reduced solvent levels...
may lead to yellowing over time."
I wonder just how much damage these paint manufacturers were doing to the environment that the EU has been forced to have us return to dingy, pre no smoking in pubs, catering yellow.
and then it would fade...
To white!
