FAQs

What surfaces can I use this tester pot on?

The Johnstone's Hemlock Matt Emulsion Tester Pot is suitable for a wide range of surfaces, including walls, wood, and primed metal. Always prepare the surface according to the manufacturer's guidelines.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint is quick-drying. However, allow sufficient time for it to dry completely before assessing the colour or applying a second coat.

How should I store the tester pot?

Store the tester pot in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its quality.

Can I use this tester pot for a whole room?

The tester pot is designed for small-scale applications. It's recommended for testing the colour and not for painting entire rooms. To paint a whole room, you'll need a larger quantity of paint.

How do I clean my application tools?

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with water.

Is the finish washable?

The Matt finish is not fully washable. It is best to spot clean gently with a damp cloth.

What is the coverage of the tester pot?

The coverage of the tester pot is limited due to the small size. It is meant for testing colour, not for painting large areas.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven after drying.

Ensure you're applying the paint in thin, even coats and that the surface is properly prepared.

The colour doesn't match the expected shade.

Lighting can affect the appearance of the colour. Test the paint in different lighting conditions to find the ideal shade.
