FAQs

Can this paint be used in the kitchen?

Yes, as it is designed for interior walls and ceilings with enhanced wash resistance, it performs well in most indoor living areas.

How many coats are recommended?

We recommend applying two coats for optimal colour depth and durability.

What is the drying time?

The surface is dry within 1-2 hours, and you should wait 4 hours before applying the second overcoat.

Can I use this on outdoor garden furniture?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior use only.

Do I need to sand furniture before painting?

Yes, light sanding is recommended to help the paint adhere to the surface of the furniture.

How do I protect furniture painted with this emulsion?

Because it is a chalky emulsion, you must finish your furniture project with a protective wax or varnish to prevent wear.

Troubleshooting

Paint is absorbing too quickly into the wall.

If applying to fresh plaster, you may thin the paint with 5-10% water or apply a designated primer undercoat first.

Visible roller marks after drying.

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and applying an even, consistent pressure without overworking the paint once it begins to set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before painting, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. For new, dry plaster, you must apply a coat of Craig & Rose Primer Undercoat to prevent uneven absorption. If the paint feels too thick when working directly on plaster, you may thin it slightly by adding 5-10% clean water. Use a high-quality brush or roller for the best finish. Apply two full coats, allowing at least 4 hours between coats for proper curing. Clean brushes and rollers immediately with warm soapy water after use to maintain equipment longevity.
