How many coats of gloss are required? Interior walls that are powdery, are stained or are suffering from salt migration must also be primed as this will affect the paints ability to perform. A primer such a Zinsser Bullseye 1-2-3 is perfect for priming these bare plastered walls ready to paint. Paint

Eggshell paints are closer in sheen to satinwood, but are a little more matte. Again, these are better suited to walls and ceilings as they aren’t as durable as satinwood. What do I need to consider when choosing a satinwood paint? Once again it can be mixed in any colour, including Dulux, RAL & British Standard colours. While white is by far the most popular shade for woodwork such as doors and skirting boards, the use of colour has become increasingly popular. It is also ideal for painting furniture, where its ability to be mixed in any colour can allow you to let your imagine go wild.Pet Urine– The high amount of ammonia in the pet’s urine can stain white paint and give it a yellowish tint. You can also use a paint scraper and lay the brush on the newspaper, and scrape it to remove the paint. This can damage the brush, though, if you are a bit too heavy-handed. Just put your brushes in the container and add some white spirit to it; you really don’t need much.

Williamsburg Porcelain White is based on a new pigment (for Williamsburg), PW 5, it is a complex co-precipitate of barium sulfate and zinc sulfide more commonly known as Lithopone. Our last section is some rapid-fire white spirit FAQs to help you with all of your decorating tasks. How to get rid of white spirit smell? The reality of all paint brands is that the quality varies from paint to paint. While some paints may be excellent in colours, some perform better in a white shade. Due to the susceptibility of oil-based paints to yellow, finding the one that minimises yellowing is crucial if you are using a white oil-based gloss. UV Exposure– The paint will turn yellow if the paint is exposed to UV rays (sun). This happens if the paint is sealed with a clear coat that doesn’t have UV-resistant additives. The UV rays will make the clear coat appear yellow but don’t affect the paint underneath. To fix it, remove the clear coat and apply a UV-resistant sealer (such as exterior polyurethane) over the paint. When painting an interior wall, start by 'cutting in' the paint around the edges of the wall. This can be done free-hand or you can apply masking tape if you are a less confident painter. Once you have painted all of the edges, you can then fill in the rest of the wall using a roller. We highly recommend getting a 4" mini roller in the same roller sleeve that you use on the wall. This is because you can use the mini roller to paint all the way up to the edge of the wall. This prevents what is known as the 'framing effect' which is caused by a paint brush being used around the edge and a roller being used on the main bulk of the wall, resulting in an uneven finish.Use baking soda to fix yellow tint that is caused by pet urine, moisture, grease, or smoke. Baking soda is absorbent that will absorb the yellow stains and moisture from the paint. After using baking soda, you must wipe the coating with Trisodium Phosphate (TSP). This Dulux paint will usually only need one or two coats, and is ready to recoat after six hours, meaning you can easily complete a decent-sized painting project in under a day. Cleaning up is a cinch, too. Given the great sheen and decent coverage, you may be surprised to hear that this satinwood paint is actually water-based, meaning brushes and rollers can be cleaned with just soapy water. This has caused a problem for artists looking for a colder white with transparent qualities, Williamsburg Porcelain White could be used as a replacement for artists seeking these working qualities from a paint. After this, you can swap the white spirit for water and give the brush a good clean. The water should be warm, and you can add soap too.

You have the traditional oil-based gloss, which turns yellow over time. Water-based gloss, which stays white forever, but generally leaves a substandard finish. Then hybrid gloss, which is a compromise between oil and water. As well as sheen, paints also come in two broad forms; water-based paint and oil-based paint. These forms vary on the solvent they use to dry the paint, as oil-based paint uses solvents to dry the paint, with water-based uses almost all water. Oil-based paint dries harder, achieves less brush strokes and has more durability. Water-based paint on the other hand does not yellow when using white like oil-based paint, contains lower VOC's and has a much faster drying time of a matter of hours. These are key reasons why oil-based paints are used on woodwork & metal only, while water-based paints are used when painting interior walls & ceilings, as well as woodwork & metal. As a decorator, the question “which is the best white gloss” comes up regularly. It used to be a simple choice, but now the range of gloss paint products are exponential. We’re not just talking about more brands (of which there are many), but there are also different types of gloss paint. It’s hard-wearing, easy to clean and usually very straightforward to use. While it’s most commonly found in only one or two shades of white, some brands offer a wider range of colours, giving you the option to truly personalise your space. Through advances in technology following the investment of paint manufacturers to find better water-based solutions to gloss paints, water-based gloss can now match the quality of oil-based paint. Q. How long for oil-based gloss paint to dry?

Why You Might Avoid Zinc White?

First created in the 1870s it was for some time a rival to lead and zinc white oil paints. During this time it captured 60% of the market for white pigments in 1928. By 1945 this demand had decreased to 15% due to the dominance of titanium dioxide (the main pigment included in titanium white). As Zinc White has become less popular due to its brittleness when it is used extensively (you can read more about that later), there is a renewed interest in Porcelain White as they have some similar characteristics. It has also been known historically as Enamel, Orr’s, or Charleston White but the name Porcelain White has been chosen by Williamsburg as the most descriptive.

It’s funny, a few years ago, Johnstone’s Aqua was widely regarded as the best white water-based gloss paint available. However, comparing it to the more modern Teknos Futura 90 just outlines its flaws. It is still good, but it’s harder to apply, can damage your brushes and turns yellow after a couple of years.There are a number of considerations when using an oil-based paint. The first of which is that it is better to use a pure bristle paint brush as these are designed for oil-based paints. This stems from the fact that you cannot use a pure bristle paint brush with a water-based paint as these can absorb moisture, meaning they are reserved solely for oil-based emulsions. Furthermore, oil-based emulsions can have a longer drying time and can only be cleaned using white spirit, which is not the case with water-based paints. Test of four Williamsburg White oil paints. Left to right: Porcelain White, Titanium White, Titanium Zinc White, Zinc White Texture and Brush Feel Well, our white spirit adventure has sadly come to an end. We hope this look at white spirit has helped you understand this handy solvent. Whenever you’re decorating, it is always worth having a bottle of white spirit (or another paint thinner) on hand for cleaning brushes. It makes cleaning tasks easier and can be used to thin paints carefully too. Gloss paints have been the go-to for windows, doors and skirting boards due to their robust nature and ability to be wiped clean, but are falling in popularity because of the dated finish and tendency to yellow over time. The application of eggshell paint will vary depending on the surface you are painting and the type of eggshell paint you are using. While the application of eggshell will differ, there are a number of things that are consistent.
