Calcimine
Question
Is there a way to tell whether a ceiling is painted with calcimine?
Answer
There have been quite a few questions recently on calcimine, a special
paint used mostly for ceilings in the early mid 20th century, so it's
worth talking about. Calcimine was very white paint and looked good
for a while and a long time. It was inexpensive, but it had it's disadvantage:
If you paint over it with any paint other than calcimine, the paint
would come off on your roller. One way to be sure is to wipe the paint
with a wet sponge. If the sponge comes out white, most likely it's calcimine.
To paint it you will have to put a coat of KAL_KOTE, which is compatible
with calcimine, before you re-paint the wall.
