Troubleshooting

Primer not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared. Remove any grease, dust, or existing coatings that may be preventing adhesion. Reapply after thorough surface preparation.

Stains still showing through

Apply a second coat of primer. Ensure the stain is completely covered before applying the topcoat.

Uneven finish

Ensure the primer was stirred thoroughly and applied evenly. Avoid over-brushing or over-rolling. Apply a second coat if necessary for a more uniform appearance.
