Troubleshooting

Primer is not drying properly.

Ensure proper ventilation and check the temperature and humidity levels. High humidity or low temperatures can slow drying times. Make sure you haven't applied the primer too thickly.

Primer is peeling or flaking.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared before priming. Remove loose paint, sand the surface, and clean any dirt. Also, make sure that the primer is compatible with the surface and topcoat you're using.

Apply a second coat of the topcoat. Ensure the primer has completely dried before applying the topcoat.
