Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application. Check for any dust or debris. If painting over a very glossy surface, a light scuff sand might be necessary.
Uneven or streaky finish
Ensure the paint is stirred well before and during use. Apply paint evenly using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overloading the brush/roller and maintain a wet edge to prevent lap marks.
Paint taking too long to dry
Drying times can be affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure application is in a well-ventilated area at a moderate temperature. Avoid applying thick coats.
Finish seems too soft after drying
Ensure two full coats have been applied, as recommended for durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats and before subjecting the surface to heavy use.
