FAQs

Is the included brush good for large areas?
The included 1-inch brush is best for precision work or small areas; larger surfaces may require a larger roller or brush.

Is the paint safe for outdoor use?
Yes, the durable, flexible formula is designed for both indoor and outdoor environments.
Do I need a primer?

Troubleshooting

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and free of oils or loose debris before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are completely clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose debris to guarantee optimal adhesion. Stir the paint well before use. Use the provided 1-inch brush for smaller areas or edges. While the surface may feel dry to the touch in 8 to 10 hours, it is vital to avoid heavy foot traffic until the full 24-hour curing period has elapsed. Store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent the paint from drying out. This product is strictly incompatible with glazed or quarry tiles, as the material will not adhere correctly to these smooth surfaces.
