Troubleshooting
Primer not adhering to the surface.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and free of loose material. The primer is designed for chalky/powdery surfaces, so ensure the surface exhibits this characteristic before application. Apply a second coat if necessary.
Paint finish is not durable after application.
Ensure that the Dulux Trade Weathershield Stabilising Primer was applied to the affected areas. Allow the primer to dry completely and then apply the recommended two coats of Weathershield Masonry Paint.
Primer takes longer than expected to dry.
Ensure adequate ventilation and check the temperature and humidity levels. Drying times can vary depending on environmental conditions.
