'New' paints at Wickes
Needed some white gloss and, as I'm painting doors inside, prefer low VOC
paint. About a month or so ago, a WickesDroid told me that the paints at 8% VOC were being sold off to make room for those complying with EU Regs. - albeit a year early. All of the gloss there today was solvent-based at 20 - 25% VOC; the cans carried a recommendation to use water-based for large internal surfaces. The 8% satin from Wilko is good (to apply - and seems hard) so I headed off that way. On the way, called in to Aldi and there was acrylic gloss at £3.99/li. On one can there was a small, dried blob of the paint on the outside and I couldn't remove or dent it with my thumb nail, so I bought a couple of cans. Anyway, if you want solvent-based paints before they, er, evaporate, Wickes seems to be the place. -- Peter. 2x4 - thick plank; 4x4 - two of 'em. |
