Hi, Use a stabilizing solution or PVA .It works, diluted emulsion is some times very patchy. Be Safe, Diolch . Paint Wizard

The last answer is correct, all you need is PVA mixed with water (1 part PVA - 5 part Water). This puts a film on the walls that is impervious to your next coats of paint. Using this process you will cover your walls using less paint than expected. Sal*UK

To be safe, buy Vinyl Matt in Dulux Trade or Leyland. Thin down first coat by 25% when using dulux or thin down first coat by 10% when using leyland. The choice is yours. First coat is not worth skimping on! Make it a decent paint.
