Troubleshooting

Uneven color or patchy finish

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free from contaminants. Apply a second, even coat. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application.

Paint not drying within the expected timeframe

Drying times are dependent on temperature, humidity, and ventilation. Ensure application occurs in suitable conditions (typically above 10°C with good air circulation). Avoid applying in damp or cold weather.

Poor adhesion or peeling

The surface may not have been adequately prepared or primed. Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and a suitable primer was used for bare wood. Lightly sand glossy surfaces before application.

Color looks different than expected

Colors can appear differently on screen and in various lighting conditions. The tester pot is intended to help you assess the color in your specific environment. The natural color and porosity of the surface being painted can also affect the final appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and previous flaking finishes. For bare wood, a suitable preservative primer is recommended. For existing paint or varnish, lightly sand the surface to create a key for adhesion.

Compatibility: This paint is designed for use on wood, brick, stone, and terracotta. It is not recommended for use on decking or other surfaces subject to heavy foot traffic.

Application: The paint can be applied using a brush or a spray gun. Apply an even coat, working with the grain of the wood if applicable. Allow 2-8 hours of drying time between coats, depending on conditions. Two coats are generally recommended for best results.

Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For the painted surface, gentle cleaning with a damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners. The finish is designed to be water-resistant and durable.
