Is this paint latex or oil? Is it safe for pregnant women?
Is the Dulux Soft Sheen Pure Brilliant White - http://www.dulux.co.uk/products/info/sof鈥?/a> latex or oil? I ask if it safe for someone who is pregnant to move into a home that is newly painted with this product. They say latex is okay, oil is not.
Thanks!Is this paint latex or oil? Is it safe for pregnant women?
The website you linked to indicates that the paint is water soluble:
';Cleaning
After use, remove as much paint as possible from brushes before cleaning with water.';
Therefore, it is latex and should be okay. Any fumes have the potential to be harmful, but latex is certainly less harmful than oil would be.Is this paint latex or oil? Is it safe for pregnant women?
latex is water based, and is safe.
Oil paint has harmful fumes and is not safe for pg. women.
I have not heard of the paint you listed.
Remember all oil base paints are harmful. That's why it is being discontinued here in calif. Also water base paint is only safe for pregnant women if it is odorless or does not contain EG.
It is latex. You can tell by the wash up procedures.

What is the difference between ';Acrylic Enamel'; and ';Acrylic Latex'; paint?
Companies such as Benjamin Moore produce both in the same family of products (e.g. BM Collection Series) but I do not understand the difference (beyond the marking hype of enamel being tougher). Are they both actually acrylic latex?What is the difference between ';Acrylic Enamel'; and ';Acrylic Latex'; paint?
believe they are pretty much the same thing.

Why won't latex paint dry thoroughly?
I've painted my kitchen cabinets, but even days later they still feel tacky to the touch. I've used quality semi-gloss paint (Behr -- I also painted the walls with Behr satin, no problems) and I cleaned and primed the surfaces ahead of time. The temp in the house has been in the 60s and 70s, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any suggestions or remedies?Why won't latex paint dry thoroughly?
Is is really humid in your kitchen?? Also if it is cold - it may feel damp= when it is actually it is cold-also if there is oil base underneath it- it may not stick or dry-DWhy won't latex paint dry thoroughly?
Need to get the humidity out of the house. Rent a de-humidifier.
Open the windows up some to move some new air into the house on a sunny day when the barometric pressure is up. That will help dry it out. Also, it's good to let the first coat dry for about 24 hours or so before painting the second coat.
The only other things I can think of is if you got a bad batch of paint or if you forgot to stir the paint like you should.
Try running a fan in the kitchen, I'm guessing the first layer wasn't quite dry. Also with your cooking try not to boil anything or any other cooking methods that will add moisture to the air...
DID you do two coats without lettinf the first one dry properly? That will greatly increase drying time.
it sounds like you may have used a latex primer and an oil topcoat, you are not getting proper adhesion. If this is what you did you will have re prime with an oil based primer and re topcoat.

My basement wall is dry, should I still apply latex paint or vapor barrier anyway prior to finishing?
I wanted to take extra precautions when finishing my basement but is it worth the extra cost/work? my original plan was to waterproof the block wall with latex paint or a vapor barrier, add 1'; styrofoam, then an insulated 2x4 stud wall. Could I skip the latex paint or vapor barrier if my basement doesn't get water?My basement wall is dry, should I still apply latex paint or vapor barrier anyway prior to finishing?
Yes you will need to use UGL's block sealer. Even though it is not wet there is moisture there that you will trap if you dont seal it. It will eventually be a problem if you dont.
