What is the drying time?

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants. Use a suitable primer if the surface is porous or bare.

Uneven texture finish

Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly before and during application. Apply at a consistent rate and thickness. Avoid overworking the paint.

Mould returning after painting

Ensure all existing mould was completely removed and the surface treated with a fungicidal wash before painting. Address any underlying moisture issues contributing to mould growth.

Paint appears too thin or thick

Stir the paint well. If too thick, a very small amount of water (less than 5%) can be added for easier application, but avoid over-thinning as this can affect performance.
