Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from any residues before application. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve grip.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply paint in thin, even coats. Use a good quality brush or roller suitable for masonry paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats. Consider a second coat if needed for opacity.
Paint shows signs of heat damage (discoloration)
Verify that the paint is applied to surfaces within its intended use and temperature range. Ensure adequate ventilation around the heat source. This paint is heat-resistant, not fireproof for direct flame contact.
Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks
Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which can damage the stone effect finish.
