    Episode 2, Dulux Whisper grey

    Episode 2, Dulux Whisper grey

    What does grey paint smell like? Well... chlorinated rubber, water, isopropanol, titanium dioxide and castoreum. But no one ever asks what does it sound like when it dries? Well, today you can find out by listening to episode 2 of the podcast. And yes I googled the ingredients of paint to make that joke.
    What do you call a man covered in grey paint with a wrench taped to his hand? Confused.

    Listening to Paint dry, Episode 1, Dulux Pepper Red

    Listening to Paint dry, Episode 1, Dulux Pepper Red

    This is the first episode of my new relaxing podcast, where I share some of my favourite noises that calm me when I am stressed. Today I chose Red Paint, this is because it has a softer sound when it dries than other paints. Some people prefer green paint as it has a slightly sharper drying sound, which I respect. We can all agree the orange drying paint fans are just childish and should be re-educated in the sport of paint listening.
