Paint Bubbles in emulsion

Question

Hi, will bubbles form in silk emulsion if it is left in the roller tray for days on end?

Darren · Answer

If you leave any type of paint in an open container it will dry up,so always return unused paint back to tin and replace lid.

Patrick · Answer

Bubbles will normally for for different other reasons, but certainly not that one.

Hi Ben,
As long as you put the tray in a plastic bag and seal it that should be ok? Same with brushes and rollers put in plastic bags and seal

Hi Ben, if you cover the tray and sealed with masking tape so it won't get air inside,  should be  ok. But i wouldn't leave it in a tray.

James · Answer

Yes it will as silk emulsion can't be left in roller tray

Yes they will due to air getting in the gapes and forming the bubble

Hi Ben.  Silk is a terrible paint to work with and is really best suited to very high traffic areas such as schools.  Switch to eggshell if you really want a shine. It's just as durable and washable.  Better finish too.  
Best thing to do with Silk is to just put it back in the tin after use and seal it. Takes a few seconds and you won't need to worry about bubbles. Put the brush and rollers onto a freezer bag and seal or cling film and you will be ready to go in the next day.
