Thanks OB. The emulsion work is done.
Now there's a thought J.A.
Here are 2 tips for sharing.
1. If you have lots of emulsioning to do, I suggest you buy a powered roller system. Mine saves so much time. Also it felt a lot safer to use from the ladders over the stairwell; I worked quickly and without having to walk to and fro to reload the roller. The downer is that you must use the paint designed for the system, and the colour range is limited.
2. If I'm painting woodwork on consecutive days, I tightly wrap the paint brushes in 2 plastic bags to keep the bristles flexible. It works a treat and saves having to clean the brushes each day.
I searched for a DIY thread, but there's none. To relate the thread to iPads, I suppose the iPad camera, streamed radio or music, and Apps to help with any associated maths could be introduced?

All good tips Richard, I have a power roller also, but I use regular acrylic latex paint. The problem with it is the paint tends to wear out the seals in the roller head.
1- If I am using a standard roller and paint tray I put the whole thing into a plastic shopping bag carefully closing it up and it will stay okay overnight.
2- When you are finished and put the lid on a can of paint shake it well which will seal the lid for better storage.
3- If you take a break for a half hour or so, fill your brush and roller with lots of paint beforehand.
4- Most Benjamin Moore stores sell samplers so pick a couple of colors and buy the samplers. This lets you paint a larger area to see if you like it and it's cheaper than redoing the paint job.

Hi, welcome! I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you! I had been searching for a nice place to read about others experience with their iPad.

Then you're just at the right place.
If you find one, please inform me where to get it!
You mean you missed the sale at Olivander's last week?
