Yes, you can paint terracotta pots with emulsion paint, which is typically a water-based paint used for walls and ceilings. The porous nature of terracottas allows the emulsion paint to adhere well, but it’s essential to prepare the surface properly for the best results. Start by cleaning the pot to remove dirt and debris. Consider applying a primer designed for use on terracotta or a multi-surface primer to ensure better adhesion of the emulsion paint and to prevent the paint's moisture from being absorbed too quickly by the pot, which can lead to an uneven finish. When the primer is dry, you can apply the emulsion paint in the color of your choice with a brush or roller for a smoother finish. Apply 2-3 coats for even coverage, letting it dry completely between coats. Although emulsion is not as durable outdoors as specialized exterior paints, you can extend the life of your painted pots with a clear sealer to protect the paint from the elements and watering.

Yes, epoxy resin does expire. Typically, unopened epoxy resin can last about 12 months when stored correctly in a cool, dry place. Once opened, its shelf life reduces due to potential contamination and air exposure, leading to a reaction that can affect its performance. The components may crystallize or harden in the container. Signs of expired resin include a yellow tint or a thicker consistency. It's crucial to check the manufacturer's recommendations for shelf life and storage conditions to maximize the use of your epoxy resin. If you suspect your resin has expired, it's best to test it on a small area before applying it to your project to ensure proper curing and results.
