Sand In Paint
5 Answers
I heard somewhere that sand can be added to emulsion as a cheap and easier alternative to plastering. Does anyone please know if this is a fact and if so do i use a particular sand as i would hate to waste a tin of paint. Thank you, sue.

It's an old trick that is usually used with exterior paint. In fact, "Sandtex" paint has it already added. Not a very pretty finish used internally I would have thought. I guess you're trying to improve pock-marked plaster. Maybe cracks and bits missing? Try spreading fairly wet Polyfilla over the area with a plastering trowel/artex scraper/wide scraper....

Try spreading fairly wet Polyfilla over the area with a plastering trowel/artex scraper/wide scraper. After it's dried a little, but still workable, flatten it with a large damp sponge. The smooth type of sponge that you get from cushions etc.
