Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Check for any loose or flaking material that may have been missed. Surface may have been too damp.
Uneven finish
Ensure consistent application with the brush or roller. Stir the paint frequently during use to maintain an even distribution of anti-slip aggregate.
Slow drying time
Drying times are dependent on temperature and humidity. Ensure application in recommended conditions (typically above 10°C and with good ventilation). Avoid application in damp or humid weather.
Slippery surface after drying
This is unlikely if applied correctly according to instructions. Double-check that the anti-slip properties of the paint were the primary reason for purchase and that the correct product was applied. Ensure no contaminants have been applied to the surface after painting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Surface Preparation:
Proper preparation is crucial for the longevity and performance of the anti-slip paint.
- Cleaning: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, oil, or any other contaminants. For concrete, it may be necessary to use a concrete degreaser or etcher.
- Repair: Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler.
- Soundness: Ensure the surface is sound and not flaking or powdery.
- Bare Surfaces: For bare wood, concrete, stone, and brickwork, no primer is typically required if the surface is porous. For suitably prepared metal, a metal primer may be beneficial.
Application:
- Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
- Apply using a brush or roller.
- Apply a second coat if a more robust finish or deeper colour is desired, ensuring the overcoat time of 6 hours is respected.
- Avoid applying in very cold or humid conditions.
Compatibility:
Suitable for concrete, wood, tarmac, stone, and brickwork. May be suitable for suitably prepared metal surfaces.
Care:
Clean the painted surface with water and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the coating.
