Troubleshooting

Weak magnetic pull.

Ensure that you have applied the recommended three coats of Rustins Magnet Paint. Check the magnets being used, as the strength of the magnet will impact the holding power. Apply another coat of the magnet paint.

Paint is not adhering properly.

Make sure the surface is clean and smooth before applying. Apply a primer before the MagnetPaint, particularly on porous surfaces.

Paint appears lumpy or uneven.

Stir the paint thoroughly before application. Apply thin, even coats, and avoid over-brushing.
