As this is a solvent-based paint, you will need to clean your brushes and rollers with a suitable solvent-based brush cleaner or white spirit. Water will not be effective for cleaning these tools.

Being a solvent-based paint with high VOC content, it will have a noticeable odor during and immediately after application. It is crucial to ensure good ventilation in the area while painting and for some time afterward.

Solvent-based paints are known for their exceptional durability, excellent adhesion, and smooth finish, especially on wood and metal. However, they typically have a stronger odor, higher VOC levels, longer drying times, and require specific solvent-based cleaners for tools rather than just water.

Ensure adequate ventilation in the painting area, as restricted airflow can significantly extend drying times. Also, check the room temperature and humidity; very cold or humid conditions will slow drying. Ensure you have applied thin, even coats, as thick application will drastically increase drying time.

This often results from insufficient surface preparation or improper application technique. Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, sanded (if glossy), and dry before painting. Stir the paint well before and during use to maintain consistency. Apply with a good quality brush or roller, maintaining an even pressure and avoiding overworking the paint.

Poor adhesion is typically due to inadequate surface preparation. Make sure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of loose paint, dirt, grease, or dust. For glossy surfaces, ensure they are properly sanded to provide a 'key' for the paint to adhere to.

As a solvent-based paint with high VOC content, a strong odor is expected during and immediately after application. Maximize ventilation by opening windows and doors. The odor will gradually dissipate over several days, but continued ventilation will speed this process.

Immediately stop exposure and move to a well-ventilated area. If symptoms persist or are severe, seek medical attention. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and eye protection, and ensure the painting area is very well ventilated to minimize exposure to fumes and potential allergens.
