Can Matt Vinyl be applied over Silk Vinyl emulsion?
A. Yes, provided that thorough preparation is carried out. It is essential to thoroughly sand down surfaces previously coated with silk emulsion, ensuring that as much of the sheen level as possible is removed. Q. Prior to painting new, dry plaster, should I prime the walls using a primer or PVA. A. It is not necessary to use a separate primer, and use of PVA is not recommended as this can cause an adverse re-action when used under water based paints such as emulsions. However, the first coat of emulsion should be diluted by approximately 20% water, followed by one or two coats, as necessary.
