Ran into exactly this problem using Dulux Easycare Kitchen paint. I thought Ihad degreased the old stuff pretty well, but still found that the Kitchen paint seemed to skin over pretty quick and then pull off and go all messy. Second coat went on a lot better. Found that using non-kitchen Easycare of the same colour for the first coat was much easier (and it has better flow than the Kitchen version) and a bit cheaper followed by a final coat of Kitchen gave me an overall better finish with less stressing.
Hi just seen your video, and you answered my inquiry yesterday as I was having trouble with washable paint and as you said the second coat did work, just got home and saw this video, so thanks for your reply yesterday as it helped immensely cheers.

Yes,common problem this one! Especially when the rooms are really warm and these types of paints are going off in literally seconds! Good video! Definitely easy to catch out the unwary!
I have had this with Dulux trade matt emulsion on one small section of a wall. I could sand it but I am tempted to BIN the whole section. Any thoughts? Definitely a problem with the older matt I painted over. Maybe not mist coated. Hard to say.
@@geoffsmith673 it may be okay on your second coat. It depends what it is because it sounds like the contamination of the area. B.I..N should sort it out.
@@PaintingandDecorating Yes, something problematic about the whole room. Had to use Guardz on one section (didn't fully solve the bubbling but sorted the flashing). There is a bubbling up reaction. I think even with BIN I'd have trouble. Old distemper baked in or no mist coat, who knows? I think it must be old, cheap matt thrown on thick with a brush
Thank you. Very informative. My Dad was an old school painter and decorator. 7 years time-served as an apprentice. Sadly, he's no longer with us, so I can't ask his advice! I have a question for you. Two areas of painted walls in our house get persistent mould, despite many treatments. My husband put watered down pva glue on top, in a single effort to stop the mould. We now have mould plus droplets of water dripping from the pva painted areas. Ons is in the ensuite (one outside wall). The other is in the utility room (two outside walls). The bathroom has a new extractor fan but the utility hasn't got one. Ang advice you could give would be very much appreciated 😉😊
@@susangardner940 unfortunately it's down to cold walls. You can remove the PVA with warm water and a cloth. You can buy an additive for paint to stop mold. Tough hard wearing paint is best also Insulated wall covering. Thanks
I have just sat down in my chair from several hours of using this stuff in my living room :D fortunately I didn't get any bits as ugly as on that board - but I did notice a lot of paint was being picked back up again - I was thinking my roller was playing games with me :) nice to know i'm not going mad! Also shoutout to the Trade Supermatt - My mist coat looked more like I had put 3 coats on. Love it.
Very informative video 👍 You have to work quickly with acrylic based washable/ scrubbable paints when applying on Matt or vinyl matt surfaces. The first coats acts as a bit of a sealer and normally goes off quick. Usually best to cut the room in let it go off then roll the walls and just leave it! DIYers tend to be slower and play around with the paint to much so run into problems.
I've tried all types of hardwearing washable/scrubbable paint and I still haven't found the magic formula how to get it right. I've tried adding paint conditioner, water, applying really fast but it still looks awful. The main problem is that the likes of dulux advertise these types of paint for all rooms now, so if your painting a large area with a lot of light your doomed as you can't roll back into the section you've just done very well as it's already dried thus leading to roller marks and flashing everywhere.
Great video. I’ve a question. I’ve been painting onto walls that had a slight glossy wallpaper on. I didn’t do the research to buy a product like zinseer primer etc and I didn’t want to strip the wallpaper off. But now I’m paying for it! I’ve applied about 2/3 layers of Matt white emulsion and it looked absolutely fine. But I’ve painted a wall with our colour we wanted and have done 2 coats. I noticed straight away there was a lot of mud cracking. Only really visible if you go close but still annoying. I’ve applied zinseer mud cracking primer over the top of the colour and re painted and it sort of looks ok but still small areas have this mud cracking. Before I paint with colour on the rest of the house, should I really strip the painted wallpaper completely to plaster or will I be ok applying some sort of wallpaper primer over the white I’ve already painted over the wallpaper? Sorry for the long question!
Never use PVA. There is wide choice of proper primers for the job that were tested and are warranted. No paint manufacturer on the world is specifying use of the PVA for the simple reason that paint do not bond to PVA. Using PVA in any dilution will sooner or later lead to the future failure of the bond between layers. I stay to be corrected.

Didnt even know this was a thing. Ive got reg contract emulsion on walls from about decade ago and about to put some hardwearing so called top quality paint on. Will have to see what happens. another reason id consider getting good decorator in
Just painting a new extension we had built and running into this problem or similar and with so much to do it’s making it very hard going. I used Armstead contract Matt from Jewsons that I believe to be the same paint as the Dulux supermatt both from Akzanobel. Brilliant paint even watered to 40% still has fantastic covering power. The issue however is using Dulux easyclean matt for topcoat as in places and especially corners it’s pulling the Armstead back off despite being given a few days to dry. This is becoming a real pain and a worry because if it’s pulling the supermatt off is it not demonstrating it hasn’t penetrated the plaster surface which is the whole point of using it heavily diluted? Vinyl emulsion is becoming very difficult to find in the DIY stores and if you do the price has gone crazy yet until recently it was the defecto paint that was cheap, why is this? Another issue with the washable “easyclean” acrylic paints is cleaning of brushes, rollers and trays etc, it’s a nightmare to get it off. Thanks for the video and highlighting these issues 👍
For best outcome I suggest to sand the walls with a coarse sand paper to roughen the surface. This way you get better coating, however still one has to paint the walls 2 or sometimes 3 times especially if using poor qualitu paint 🎨 or painting over dark colours. In between the coats I recommend to sand the wall also but this time with fine sand paper.
Hi there. Recently I replaced a length of coving that was loose and, having painted it with white emulsion, got some on the grey painted wall beneath (which needed repainting anyway). However, having put a coat of cut in grey over the white (it had dried a day or two) I’ve come to do the two new grey coats on the whole wall and it’s reacting along the length of the coving on the area below where the white was. Would you advise letting the recent coat of grey dry for a few extra days then try sanding and redoing?? It literally is darker (and looks cracked/crazing like) along the bottom of the coving where the white paint was. The white is Dulux normal matt white, the grey is a valspar (mixed for a colour match) emulsion
Had this happen on a ceiling a few months back. Used contract Matt for most cost on new plaster. Watered right down. Then Valspar scrubbable Matt as a top coat. Didn’t look like yours to start with but once it was dry it all bubbles up cracked out and flaky. I’m wondering weather it’s some reaction with the pigment of the first coat (contract Matt) reworking up and mixing in with the high vinyl content of the valspar paint? Just my thought. Almost like pulling the chalkyness of the contract into the vinyl paint. Safe to say I ended up scraping it off. A coat of zinsser peel stop and 2 coats of Dulux vinyl Matt ontop was sound!
Hi there wondering if you could help, I was using layland white contract matt with a 9inch Hamilton medium pile roller and after 3 coats I was still left with roller marks on my finish especially on the wall that was receiving the most light very frustrating after all the effort, any ideas on what's going wrong? Thank you..
You may not be finishing your rolling correctly Too mush pressure on one side and using the wrong pile can result in tram lines.. you will always get a certain amount of orange peel effect... and it also could be in the plaster itself.. bad plastering can result in tram lines.. hope that helps.
Love watching your videos n it's a trade I want to do because I've done mi own house to a good standard, only down side is it's an old house n the walls arnt good at all , there are college courses but for level 6 in Inverness but u have to be n a building trade to do that course, n the other in Frasurburagh which is 3 hours away as a part time course 🤔 what would your advice be for me to get into this trade ?🤨
I did a mist coat of crown matt white emulsion paint. Once dry the paint is chalky. Followed the instructions for diluting the paint but it's just so chalky that when you touch it it's like you've been playing with chalk. Cleaned it as much as possible to get rid of the chalkiness and painted over with dulux easycare matt paint. The paint applied ok and wasn't clumping. However, the dulux paint is peeling off like dry glue once it dried. Can someone give advice on how to fix this? Both the chalky mist coat and peeling dulux easycare paint? Good thing i've only done one wall.
I have had problems with this before , it’s ok if move very fast , or if you have a room cut it all in let it dry for a bit then roll into it . Basically move fast or let the cutting in dry 👍
I had matte finish water paint, which was streaky. So i tried to put satin vinyl over it, went in bubbles. Took all off, tried to wash off that matte paint as much as i can. Let it dry. Put 1st coat of vinyl, went on fiine. Every time i put second coat on, bubbles appear. Tried to scrap all off like a sheet once. Washed, dried, applied 1st coat, dried for 48 hours and apply again… 2nd coat has even more bubbles now. Im just over it now. Any ideas how to fix it?
Scrubbable paint like the valspar in this video has a greater quantity of acrylic binders rather than vinyl binders. Acrylic is more durable and faster drying then vinyl, so it pulls much quicker than say vinyl matt, vinyl silk, soft sheen which have vinyl polymer binders. Always thin by a minimum of 5% with water to allow more open time when applying the first coat . Scrubbable matts and acrylic eggshells are both heavy on the acrylic and will both suffer with faster drying.
Thank you so much for this comment!!! Instinct said I needed to add water but I was worried the €66 I paid for the bloody paint would be totally gone to waste if I added water to last bit of paint to go over the walls....3rd coat lucky (plus all the paintless little patches I hAd to go over with a paint brush after 2nd coat didn't sort them)
No way really to thicken paint if it's too thin... cheap emulsion has low opacity... your better spending a little extra if you can... otherwise it's a case of loads of coats to build up the opacity.. thanks
I am a paint manufacturer. if i paint my paint with brush its the best paint of this world. the finish is like matte. but if i paint with roller its the worst paint of the earth. why?
What happened to the easycare bathroom paint? It's not clear what you actually did as it doesn't appear you did what you said at the beginning? As I understand it you painted the supermatt on the whole board, then Valspar scrubbable a) to the right rolling many times and b) to the left rolling quickly. Rubbed down and then went over the whole board again with the scrubabble. But you said you would use an easy care bathroom paint at the beginning but then no mention of it again?...Sorry but I have found it a bit confusing.
I think because the reaction I was looking for happened with the first paint, there was no need to try the other. Video is about how to deal with the reaction. Thanks
just started painting a room and noticed how quick the paint dries off and is very blotchy when dry.white matt emulsion.can't wait to try the dreaded eggshell :( never used to get these issues :(
@@PaintingandDecorating ceiling has had a coat of leyland trade matt by someone else over new plaster.all looks ok.now i'm putting johnstones over it today it was caking up,near drying,on the edges before i'd even had a chance to roll it out.and drying patchy :( medium pile roller. had enough of this job already.wonder if i thin it down it might level out and dry nice and even ?
I have this annoying problem where I’ve painted emulsion on coving and walls and when it’s dry you can see cracking but not where it’s peeling off but it just has an appearance of millions of skeleton small cracks where the paint is shrinking maybe Have you had this problem I’ve done a coat let it dry a few days and another coat so far 4 coats all fully dried before next Entire upstairs tiny cracks soo annoying
Always good, interesting stuff mate. It's why folk pay for painters ......eventually. Eggshell, the original stuff, same problems.Just get it on and leave it.
Using soft sheen paint helps as it's between silk and matt but it will still pull off and ru,n just try not to go over it as he said in the video once dry you can sand it back and apply matt paint no problems.
Here’s one to pickle your brains... I used diamond Matt by dulux over armstead thinned contract Matt on new plaster.... no problems... saw a post on a decorators Facebook page I follow about the durable Matt paints nowadays not being suitable to go over misted contract Matt due to the sometimes chalky ness of the contract Matt...... instead the data sheets for such durable matts suggest to thin the durable Matt by 20% tops to “mist” the new plaster to act as an adhesion primer....... I kind of understand the theory but why does it still sound wrong in my head? On the back of the Can it also says new and bare surfaces thin down the product first? Any ideas? Are the paint company’s talking rubbish or trying to sell more product or what ? Interesting debate lol! Take care. Marc
@@PaintingandDecorating thanks mate. I presume it’s the video that this comment is attached to?

@@MarcGray1990 yes sorry just noticed the comment is on this video.. lol but yes modern paints have s different make up more resin. Things will have to change at some point.. they can't keep making emulsion paints that don't stick to each other. Thanks
@@PaintingandDecorating not that I’ve ever used it but tikkurilla do a primer for bare walls that apparently you don’t water down. Just go straight on with it.... also screwfix do one... again not used it. Goes against the grain for me as it were but apparently it’s good stuff. I think the true problem is the chalkiness or dust that the contract Matt leaves on the surface that the top coat paint has issues bonding to. No matter how must it’s thinned. Glad it’s not only me that faces these issues!

It sounds like your just going over the problem and not dealing with it. Small test patch sand down till smooth then coat up see how it reacts. Thanks
Always good, interesting stuff mate.
It's why folk pay for painters ......eventually.
Eggshell, the original stuff, same problems.Just get it on and leave it.
Thank you...
But this congealed on a non washable surface?
Does anyone know how to thicken cheap emulsion paint?? Thanks
Corn flour 🤣 no being serious.. cheap paint is cheap paint. No way of making it thicker than adding expensive paint. Thanks
Using soft sheen paint helps as it's between silk and matt but it will still pull off and ru,n just try not to go over it as he said in the video once dry you can sand it back and apply matt paint no problems.
Ty
The bubbling could be paste not removed properly, too,
Yes that can happen if you come across paste that has not been cleaned off. But this video is to show paint can have its own problems. Thanks
Always a little concerned when Painting a ceiling where it may start bubbling and ends up around the roller not much fun 🙄
Yes, a lot harder to deal with the ceiling. Thanks.
Soul destroying 😭
Sir i could here what you explained properly. My emulsion paint is showing large bubbles after first coat, will they go away on their own?
They should dry back... thanks
Great video but why not use a 9inch? Would be done so much faster
Thanks, it was only a demonstration less to clean out.
Here’s one to pickle your brains... I used diamond Matt by dulux over armstead thinned contract Matt on new plaster.... no problems... saw a post on a decorators Facebook page I follow about the durable Matt paints nowadays not being suitable to go over misted contract Matt due to the sometimes chalky ness of the contract Matt...... instead the data sheets for such durable matts suggest to thin the durable Matt by 20% tops to “mist” the new plaster to act as an adhesion primer....... I kind of understand the theory but why does it still sound wrong in my head? On the back of the Can it also says new and bare surfaces thin down the product first? Any ideas? Are the paint company’s talking rubbish or trying to sell more product or what ? Interesting debate lol! Take care. Marc
Yes it will be true I've had problems in the past with washable paints over cheap contract matts.. we've a video that covers this.. thanks
@@PaintingandDecorating thanks mate. I presume it’s the video that this comment is attached to? It feels like with the paints nowadays that it’s a case of ignore what has been done for years and relearn the methodology! I’m glad I had it happen to me in a way which has caused me to look into it! Thanks mate. Can’t find a more honest bloke than you 👍
@@MarcGray1990 yes sorry just noticed the comment is on this video.. lol but yes modern paints have s different make up more resin. Things will have to change at some point.. they can't keep making emulsion paints that don't stick to each other. Thanks
@@PaintingandDecorating not that I’ve ever used it but tikkurilla do a primer for bare walls that apparently you don’t water down. Just go straight on with it.... also screwfix do one... again not used it. Goes against the grain for me as it were but apparently it’s good stuff. I think the true problem is the chalkiness or dust that the contract Matt leaves on the surface that the top coat paint has issues bonding to. No matter how must it’s thinned. Glad it’s not only me that faces these issues!
@@MarcGray1990 yes and I can bet they have Diluted PVA in them..
putty powder, emulsion paint, plastering gypsum, stone paint, tile adhesive, and other paint waterproof mortar technical training and production equipment
Tacky was the word
Hi sir kindly send me water base emulsion formulations thanx
Sorry it was just for some painting advice that was all.
I am a paint manufacturer. if i paint my paint with brush its the best paint of this world. the finish is like matte. but if i paint with roller its the worst paint of the earth. why?
Can you please give the colour does not requestion Tio2 because l use Tio2 give me another colour
Your audio is really low, especially talking with your back to the camera...good video though 👍.
Thanks, new sound is in the pipe line...
@@PaintingandDecorating it's a really useful video, thankyou.. Have you any advice on how to stop that fine mist of paint that comes off rollers when i use them and ends up misting over the floor? I try even with more paint on the roller and it still does it.
Your videos are the best painting advice, thankyou. Even seeing how you physically use the brushes etc helps me a lot to get a better finish to fix up my mums house, thankyou so much for that. You've helped her have a nicer place for her, thankyou.
@@PotentialTechniques your welcome cheap paint and thinned paint can cause mist. Rolling too fast and using the wrong nap on the roller and depending on the texture of the surface your rolling. But you always get a little splatter just depends how much.
I've had this happen a few times and its really annoying 😒
