Today we used up some more inherited paint, a 2.5 l tin
of Crown "Breatheasy" low VOC
matt emulsion paint. It will cover 35 m2
of previously painted wall, according to Crown.
First off, it stank to high-heaven, I dread to think
what their normal odour paint smells off. My second
surprise was that the whole 2.4 l has been consumed
painting an area as of less than 20 m2 in
our larder. The surface was previously painted masonry,
so it may be more thirsty than a normal wall, but
even so we got only about 50% expected coverage -
less than expected.
In an hour or so it will be time to put another coat
of paint onto the walls, with luck the second coat
will cover a bit better now that the wall have been
sealed with a fresh coat of paint.
