Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well or peeling.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. A suitable primer may be required, especially on previously painted or porous surfaces.
Uneven finish or visible brush/roller marks.
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Work systematically across the surface.
Mould or mildew appearing on painted surface.
While the paint resists mould, ensure adequate ventilation in the bathroom. Address underlying causes of excessive moisture if present. Clean affected areas and re-paint if necessary.
Stains bleeding through the paint.
Ensure the stain-blocking formula was given adequate time to dry and cure, or that a suitable stain-blocking primer was used prior to painting.
