Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free from dust or contaminants. For porous surfaces, confirm Pliocem Concrete Sealer was used as a primer and allowed to dry.
Poor coverage or streaking
Ensure the paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply a second coat if necessary, following drying time guidelines. Check for even application with the brush or roller.
Paint not drying as expected
Verify application conditions are within the recommended temperature and humidity ranges. Avoid application in very wet or freezing conditions, despite its weather resistance.
