Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Uneven finish or brush marks.

Apply the paint in thin, even coats and avoid over-brushing. Use a high-quality brush or roller.

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Check if the surface was properly prepared and primed. Ensure the existing paint is stable before applying the new coat.

Colour is not as expected.

Ensure you have the correct paint colour. Allow the paint to fully dry, as the colour may change slightly as it dries.

Mould growth on painted surface.

Ensure proper ventilation and address any sources of moisture. Wash the affected area with a mould-killing solution and repaint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose paint, grease, and dirt. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler and sand smooth.
  2. Priming: Apply a suitable primer, especially on previously painted surfaces or new plaster. This enhances adhesion and ensures even paint absorption.
  3. Mixing: Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure even pigment distribution.
  4. Application: Apply the paint in two thin coats, allowing the first coat to dry completely before applying the second. Use a brush, roller, or spray, depending on the surface and desired finish.

Compatibility

Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion is compatible with most standard primers and fillers. Always check the primer's compatibility with water-based paints. Ensure the previous coat of paint is dry and stable before applying Joa's White.

Care

Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can damage the paint finish. For tougher stains, use a mild, soapy solution. Regular maintenance, such as dusting, will help keep your painted surfaces looking their best.
