Can I use this paint on wood?

Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven after application.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed before use. Apply a second coat, making sure to overlap slightly to avoid streaks.
Paint is not adhering properly.
Make sure the surface is properly prepared – clean, dry, and lightly sanded if necessary. Consider using a primer if the surface is particularly porous or has previously been painted with a glossy paint.
Colour appears different than expected.
Lighting can affect the appearance of the colour. Test the paint in different areas of the room and observe the colour at different times of the day.
Paint is taking a long time to dry.
Ensure good ventilation in the room. Check the temperature and humidity levels, as these can affect drying times. Allow for longer drying times in cooler or more humid conditions.
