Full details
The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Craftsmans White is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a sophisticated, high-end matt finish on interior walls. Its primary benefit is a combination of superior coverage and quick-drying properties, allowing for a faster project turnaround. However, users should be aware that the chalky, flat finish can be more susceptible to marking in high-traffic areas compared to silk or gloss alternatives, requiring careful placement or maintenance.

FAQs
Can this paint be used in a bathroom?
No, this product is designed for interior living spaces and is not formulated to withstand the high moisture levels found in bathrooms.
Do I need a primer?
While it has excellent coverage, we recommend using a primer on new plaster or highly porous surfaces to ensure the best durability.
How many coats are typically required?
Most projects require two coats to achieve the desired depth of color and uniform finish, depending on the substrate color.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Since this is a water-based emulsion, tools can typically be cleaned using warm soapy water immediately after application.
Is the finish washable?
The finish is delicate; while you can lightly dab it with a damp cloth, it is not scrubbable like a satin or semi-gloss paint.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks after drying
Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and do not over-work the paint; keep a 'wet edge' while painting.
Paint peeling or bubbling
Check that the surface was completely clean and free of loose debris, dust, or moisture before initial application.
Uneven finish or patches
Ensure the surface is properly primed and that you are using a consistent amount of paint on your roller during application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is essential for optimal results with Chalky Emulsion. Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. If you are painting over a porous or new surface, use a suitable primer to ensure even adhesion. For application, use a high-density foam roller or a professional-grade synthetic brush to maintain the smooth texture.
Care instructions include avoiding harsh chemicals when cleaning the walls. If scuffing occurs, spot cleaning with a slightly damp, soft cloth is recommended. Because the finish is matte, scrubbing the surface can sometimes burnish the paint, so gentle maintenance is key to preserving the look. Store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from skinning.
