Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and prepared before application. Remove all dust, grease, and loose material. For timber, ensure appropriate priming or preparation steps were followed.

Uneven finish or roller marks

Apply in thin, even coats using a good quality roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure consistent application pressure and direction.

Slow drying time

Drying times are dependent on temperature and humidity. Ensure application is within the recommended temperature range (typically above 10°C) and that there is adequate air circulation.

Low opacity or coverage

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. Apply the paint at the recommended spread rate (5-9 sq m² per litre). A second coat may be required for full coverage, especially over dark or uneven surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose debris. For concrete, wood, and metal, a sound, unpainted surface is best. New timber or pressure-treated timber may require specific advice before application. For previously painted surfaces, ensure the old paint is sound and well-adhered; lightly abrade if necessary.

Application: For best results, apply using a roller. An extension pole can significantly ease application. Ensure adequate ventilation during use.

Compatibility: Suitable for concrete, wood, tarmac, stone, brickwork, and suitably prepared metal. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure.

Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For the finished surface, clean with water and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
