Troubleshooting
Paint isn't drying properly or feels tacky.
Ensure adequate ventilation in the area. Check the ambient temperature and humidity; very high humidity or low temperatures can prolong drying time. Apply thinner, even coats; thick coats take longer to dry.
Streaky or uneven finish after painting.
Ensure you are applying the paint evenly and not overspreading it. Use a good quality brush and avoid overworking the paint once applied. Ensure proper loading of the brush to maintain a consistent film.
Paint appears patchy or shows brush marks.
Apply two full coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and smooth before painting. For brush marks, try to apply paint in long, even strokes, laying off lightly at the end of each stroke.
