Content: Step 5
Apply emulsion with a brush, roller, rag, sponge or airbrush. It usually takes an average of two hours to dry, depending upon the viscosity of the paint. When painting walls, always work toward the source of light. Step 6
Dilute emulsion paint with about 10 percent water, and use to create paint effects, such as sponging, stippling, dragging, graining, stenciling and rag-rolling. Advertisement
Step 7
Experiment by painting emulsion over a coat of different colored oil-based paint, that has been allowed to dry until tacky. You can get an interesting crackle-graze effect, with the base color showing through the cracks in the emulsion. Step 8
Disguise central heating radiators by painting them with the same paint as used on the walls. Protect with a coat of flat water-based varnish. This does not effect heat output. Advertisement
