What type of thinner should I use?

How do I clean the application tools?

Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, and primed. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.
The finish is not even or has brush marks.
Apply the paint evenly, avoid over-brushing, and use a high-quality brush or roller. Multiple thin coats usually result in a better finish.
The paint is taking too long to dry.
Ensure proper ventilation and that the room temperature is within the recommended range. Check the humidity levels, as high humidity can affect drying times.
