Troubleshooting
Paint peels or flakes after drying.
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from loose material, old flaking paint, or dust before application. Highly porous or chalky surfaces may require priming or a stabilising solution prior to painting to ensure proper adhesion.
Uneven finish or poor coverage.
Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use. Apply paint evenly with a brush or roller, avoiding overspreading. If the surface is highly porous or textured, a second coat (after 4 hours) is essential for a consistent finish and full coverage.
Paint taking too long to dry or not becoming shower resistant.
Check weather conditions. High humidity, low temperatures, or application in thick coats can significantly extend drying times. Ensure proper ventilation if possible and apply in recommended temperatures (typically above 5°C and below 30°C).
