Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling or blistering.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean and dry) before application. Ensure you have not used the product in areas with constant water contact. Check for any previous paint layers that may have caused adhesion issues. Scrape off the loose paint, sand the surface, and reapply the paint following the instructions.

Paint is not covering the surface evenly.

Ensure you are applying two coats as recommended. Apply the paint evenly, avoiding excessive thickness. Make sure the paint is stirred well before each application to mix any settled pigments.

The paint has a strong odour (though it is low-odour).

Ensure adequate ventilation during and after painting. Open windows and doors to allow the area to air out.
