I’m painting the inside of my airing cupboard, using emulsion paint and it’s horrible ! I’ve always done my own decorating but never used this before, it seems really thick, dosn’t go far and drys practically the minute it touches the walls, obviously it’s warm but I thought the paint would spread more easily and give more coverage, should it be watered down ?

I thought you added about 25% or so water to it unless you were really trying to seal something. Some do a single coat with 1/4 water added to the paint and then apply a second coat straight paint to completely seal for waterproofing purposes I guess.
 
No wonder it seemed thick ! Ha ha ha ha

Thanks Liberty, it’s dried up alright so think I’ll leave well alone :)
 

wren always stir new paint in a tin cause it thickens when not in use --so good ole stir
