Can you mix matt emulsion with silk

Question

i have half a can of matt emulsion and half a can of silk emulsion can i mix it together.

Answer 1

Mix a small amount and see how it goes

Answer 2

Yeah - you will get milk (geddit?)

Answer 3

I have done before now, and it turned out o.k.  The difference between matt and silk is the finish, so if you mix them half and half you get something in between.

Answer 4

Providing they are both water-based, Yes.  

Answer 5

yes,40 years as decorator

Answer 6

I agree with Taf and Col...I too am a decorator of many years and we are all correct.

Answer 7

as long as both are compatable..meaning if both cans or latex based yes..and if both cans or oil based yes you can..You cannot mix a can of oil base and a can of latex though..this will change the sheen on the paint slightly though

Answer 8

You can try but i don't think that it will work.

Answer 9

Yes of course, you can do anything you like!
