I don't have a problem in my bath, but it is large and well ventilated so dampness is not a problem. -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |

If you live in a very humid area or have otherwise poor ventilation your results may differ. |

TP is right - you can buy the mildicide separately. You may have to go
to a paint store [MAB, Sherwin-Williams] - I don't know if the generic "home centers" carry it. As others have mentioned, if your bathroom gets humid you'll want a paint with some gloss to it. |
