It's Diall multiripple Mark. But it's been on the 'Clearance' list for a while. I bought in 10 5lt tubs to stock up but I'm getting
though it rapidly so I have been trying to get some more (It was reduced from £22 to 10). Their website still lists it but it is
"not available for home delivery" and "Not available for click and collect". Also the stock availability thingy appears not to
be working. I conclude from this that it's un-gettable. There is a Polycell ceiling paint that may do the job but it is a tad pricey
at around £42 for 5lt. Haven't trialled that.
I have been thinking of adding whiting powder to Trade emulsion but I would need to exp to find the right ratio of mix. :D

If you ever get the time, try mixing the whiting with dilute PVA - 1:1 with water, then 1:1 with whiting.
It will need passing through a paint filter too but will be much easier to sand than using the commercial paints.
