The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Jarosite Yellow is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sophisticated, heritage-inspired matt finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is a highly pigmented, chalky aesthetic that delivers excellent depth of color while remaining quick-drying and low in VOCs, making it suitable for residential spaces. A notable caveat is that the flat matt finish is less scrubbable than higher-sheen paints, meaning it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas like bedrooms and living rooms rather than high-moisture zones like bathrooms.

No, this is a chalky matt emulsion and is not moisture-resistant, making it unsuitable for bathrooms or kitchens.
No, this product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. You should use a dedicated wood or metal paint for those surfaces.
It is touch-dry within a few hours, though drying times can vary based on room temperature and humidity.
If you are painting onto bare plaster or a very porous surface, a primer or a mist coat is highly recommended to ensure proper adhesion.
Store in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
Ensure you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid over-spreading the paint. Use a high-quality medium-pile roller.
This is often due to poor surface preparation. Ensure all loose, flaking paint is removed and the surface is primed correctly before applying new coats.
The paint may not have been stirred sufficiently. Ensure you stir the contents of the tin thoroughly from the bottom up before starting.
Preparation: Surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over fresh plaster, ensure it has cured completely and apply a mist coat of thinned emulsion first. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand to provide a key for adhesion.
Application: Stir the 2.5L tin thoroughly before use to ensure the pigments are properly dispersed. Apply using a high-quality roller for walls and a synthetic brush for cutting in corners.
Care: Because this is a chalky, flat finish, it is not designed for vigorous washing. To clean, gently dab the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these will burnish the matt finish and create a shiny spot.
