Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of wax or oil. Lightly sand the surface if needed. Apply a primer if necessary.

Paint is running or dripping.

Apply thinner coats and avoid overloading the brush or roller. If spraying, reduce the paint flow or increase the distance from the surface.

Uneven finish or brush marks are visible.

Use a high-quality brush or roller. Apply the paint evenly, following the grain of the wood. Lightly sand between coats if needed.

Color is not as expected.

Ensure the paint has been stirred thoroughly. Consider the lighting conditions and the color of the existing surface. Test the color on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Paint is taking a long time to dry.

Ensure proper ventilation. Check the temperature and humidity levels in the room. The paint may require more time to dry in cooler or more humid conditions. Do not apply thick coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is smooth, dry, and free from wax and oil. For best results on bare wood, lightly sand the surface before painting. If dealing with knots or potential stain bleed, prime the area first.
  2. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply the paint using a brush, roller, or electric sprayer. If spraying, dilute the paint with water (10-20%) as needed. Two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and a richer finish. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
  3. Compatibility: This paint is compatible with wood (bare, painted, or varnished), melamine, and suitably primed rigid surfaces like metal or plastic.
  4. Care: Clean tools immediately after use with water. Once the paint is dry, clean the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. For more durable use on high-traffic areas, consider a clear coat for extra protection.
