A few years ago we got some Johnstone's trade emulsion and it was watery

brilliant cover.

Kalon certainly seem to make a range of trade emulsions in different
qualities - the poorest stuff is very thin (typically sold as unbranded
"trade emulsion") and can take many coats to cover. The best Layland
branded stuff seems on par with the dulux.

I helped a neighbour paint his kitchen recently, and he had bought some
own brand emulsion from Homebase. Very odd stuff - about a thick as
butter, it got a nice enough finish when applied with a roller, but
looked absolutely dreadful if applied with a brush (where any brush
marks just set permanently into the paint!)
