Troubleshooting
Paint is too thick or difficult to apply
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, a small amount of clean water (no more than 10% for the first coat, less for subsequent coats) can be added to improve workability. Ensure you are not painting in excessively cold conditions.
Uneven finish or brush/roller marks visible
Ensure the paint was applied evenly and with consistent pressure. Avoid overworking the paint. For roller marks, ensure you are using a suitable roller sleeve and maintaining a wet edge. For brush marks, use a good quality brush and apply in a consistent direction.
Poor coverage or colour not opaque
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. Apply a second coat as recommended. For significant colour changes, an extra coat may be required.
Paint is peeling or flaking after drying
This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and sound before painting. Remove the affected paint, prepare the surface correctly, and repaint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For best results, prime bare plaster, new surfaces, or surfaces previously painted with a solvent-based paint using an appropriate primer.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller, working in a criss-cross pattern for even coverage. For optimal results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Compatibility: Suitable for use on interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard interior wall surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces (provided they are sound and properly prepared).
Care: Clean brushes, rollers, and equipment immediately after use with water. Wipe up any spills or splashes promptly with a damp cloth. Once dry, the painted surface can be wiped gently with a damp, soft cloth if necessary, but avoid abrasive cleaners.
