What a joke. worst paint I have ever had misfortune to use. Goes on like glue, what is an edge? No hope with this rubbish, either got a duff tin of they should be done under trade description. Avoid at all costs.

I bought the wicked own brand silk emulsion to cover a pale yellow in my hallway. Put the first coat on and had very little effect. I brushed the joints first and rolled the rest. Put on a second coat and had large areas that we're still dark. It doesn't cover evenly. Put on a third coat and still hasn't covered. I will be returning the remainder of the pot and buying a decent paint for a final coat, no.4!! Avoid this paint and spend a little more on a premium paint.

Wickes paints such as gloss and undercoat I can recommend but steer clear of their emulsions. I purchased a 2 tins of cream Matt emulsion, Wickes own brand, not trade. The object was to cover a bedroom wall of a similar colour, ie cream over buttermilk The emulsion is like water with very poor covering power. Usually with other brands like Dulux, I usually add a drop of water in the roller tray to get it to run freely. When I opened both tins of the Wickes emulsion there was about an inch of liquid on the top and I had to stir the contents for several minutes to obtain a thorough mix. I had to use two coats to cover my walls, where I had expected to use one. If you had to emulsion raw plasterboard, I reckon you would need 4 coat. Waste of money, best avoided.

Have you tried stiring it before use or, maybe the paint has been in an outbuilding and aloud to freeze. Frost totally ruins water-based paints
