Troubleshooting

Primer is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Lightly sand the surface before application. Check for any contaminants and remove them.

Primer is drying too slowly.

Ensure the room is well-ventilated. Check the temperature and humidity levels, as these can affect drying times. Avoid applying too thick a coat.

Uneven finish after priming.

Apply the primer evenly, avoiding excessive build-up. Ensure the brush or roller is of good quality and suitable for the paint type. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.
